Full Job Description
Amazon Leo is Amazon's low Earth orbit satellite network. Our mission is to deliver fast, reliable internet connectivity to customers beyond the reach of existing networks. From individual households to schools, hospitals, businesses, and government agencies, Amazon Leo will serve people and organizations operating in locations without reliable connectivity. Export Control Requirement: Due to applicable export control laws and regulations, candidates must be a U.S. citizen or national, U.S. permanent resident (i.e., current Green Card holder), or lawfully admitted into the U.S. as a refugee or granted asylum. The Senior Development Operations Process Engineer will drive process development, workflow optimization, and prototype/NPI support across multiple hardware development labs within Amazon Leo’s Development Operations (DevOps) organization. This role supports a wide variety of mechanical and electromechanical development activities, including prototype builds, test article assembly, low-volume process design, tooling development, and cross-functional coordination with design, test, and production teams. You will develop scalable processes for early-stage hardware, eliminate bottlenecks, create knowledge-centered documentation, improve first-pass yield, and partner closely with lab engineers, technicians, and design teams. This role is ideal for engineers who enjoy hands-on development work, ambiguous problem spaces, and building highly efficient workflows in a fast-paced environment. Experience with harnessing is welcome but not required. Key job responsibilities - Develop and improve mechanical, electromechanical, and development-lab processes for prototype and NPI builds. - Conduct process studies (MSA/Gage R&R, Cpks, time studies, defect analysis) to drive quality and throughput improvements. - Create work instructions, build plans, process flows, and tooling concepts for low-volume builds. - Partner with design teams to ensure design-for-assembly and develop
