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. As a leader of the Launch Operations Software (LOPS) team, you will lead and grow an experienced, cross disciplinary engineering team responsible for conceiving, developing, deploying, and supporting the mission critical software systems that enable satellite processing, health check execution, and launch readiness at Amazon Leo's Payload Processing Facility and launch sites. The LOPS team builds the software that bridges satellite manufacturing, integration, processing and launch readiness, ensuring every vehicle is prepared for flight at the operational tempo Amazon Leo demands. As a manager of this team you will play a crucial role in ensuring Amazon Leo's readiness for high cadence launch operations through reliable, automated, and scalable software systems. You will work closely with cross functional teams and numerous engineering organizations across Redmond and Florida to architect, implement, and operate the software infrastructure that underpins every launch campaign. This role requires a leader who thrives in ambiguity, can stand up new capabilities rapidly, and understands that every system this team builds sits on the critical path to putting satellites in orbit. You are required to see around corners and plan many steps ahead to ensure your team is prepared. 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. Key job responsibilities Build, lead, and manage a team of system development engineers foc
