Full Job Description
LEO is Amazon's low Earth orbit satellite broadband network. Its mission is to deliver fast, reliable internet to customers and communities around the world, and we've designed the system with the capacity, flexibility, and performance to serve a wide range of customers — from individual households to schools, hospitals, businesses, government agencies, and other organizations operating in locations without reliable connectivity. We are looking for talented technicians to help drive full-scale production of the Kuiper satellites. The success of Kuiper depends on the quality, reliability, cost, manufacturability, throughput, and security of the products that you deliver. If you seek a fast-paced, dynamic environment; if you thrive on solving difficult problems where resolutions have high impact; and if you love the challenge of building something from scratch, then this role will be an ideal next career step. To be successful, you need to be highly motivated and detail-oriented while demonstrating the highest standards of execution. The Functional Planner Technician serves as a senior-level technical resource responsible for planning, coordinating, and supporting production workflow across the manufacturing floor. This role bridges the gap between frontline technicians and engineering/supervisory teams by ensuring work orders, build sequences, and resource allocations are executed accurately and on schedule. Key job responsibilities Plan and sequence daily production work orders in alignment with build priorities and capacity targets Coordinate with supervisors, leads, and engineers to resolve scheduling conflicts, material shortages, and technical blockers Monitor floor status and adjust plans in real time to maintain throughput and meet output goals Track and communicate WIP (Work in Progress) status, flagging delays or quality holds to the appropriate stakeholders Support NC (Non-Conformance) tracking by ensuring affected units are properly dispositioned and rewor
