60 Amazon Avionics Engineer Jobs Hiring Near You

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.
To deliver on that mission, Amazon is looking for talented candidates who are intellectually curious, have solved complex problems, and have a demonstrated ability to get the right things done quickly and effectively.
In this role, you'll join Amazon Leo's Avionics Development team as a Lab Engineer. This is a operations facing position focused on avionics lab equipment design, management, build-out, operation, and maintenance. As a hands-on lab manager, you will innovate, design, and deploy the building infrastructure and equipment systems that let satellite hardware development teams scale and operate efficiently. You will be the single threaded owner for facilities requirements, build-out, and execution. You will work hard, have fun, and make history!
This Lab Engineer will require familiarity and expertise on how modern hardware laboratories are designed and operated. There are not many historical references for how to build satellite hardware laboratories that truly scale at the volumes of Amazon Leo's vision. An ideal candidate can draw inspiration from consumer electronics, battery, automotive, or other high tech industries to build the facility that builds the satellite hardware.
