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 Bus Hardware Engineering Manager leads the execution and integration of mechanical hardware for the Amazon Leo satellite bus, including bus structures, vehicle design, and launch support

This role is responsible for translating vehicle architecture and requirements into qualified, producible hardware while ensuring mechanical integrity, interface alignment, and readiness for production and launch operations. The manager leads a multidisciplinary team that works closely across design, analysis, manufacturing, integration, and launch partners to deliver reliable hardware across multiple vehicle configurations and lifecycle phases.
Key job responsibilities
- Lead a multidisciplinary mechanical hardware team covering bus structures, vehicle design, and launch support
- Own execution of mechanical designs, layouts, and integration for the satellite bus
- Drive day-to-day coordination across sub-teams to ensure cohesive system-level execution
- Partner closely with electrical, thermal, structural analysis, manufacturing, and operations teams to resolve interfaces and tradeoffs
- Ensure mechanical designs meet performance, qualification, producibility, and launch requirements
- Support development, qualification, and acceptance test campaigns for bus hardware
- Own mechanical readiness for vehicle integration, transport, storage, and launch activities
- Identify, escalate, and resolve technical and schedule risks impacting vehicle delivery
- Provide technical mentorship, coaching, and performance management for engineers and designers
- Support staffing, prioritization, and execution planning in alignment with program needs
A day in the life
In this role, you balance hands-on technical leadership with team coordination and execution. Your day may include reviewing mechanical designs, aligning sub-teams on priorities, resolving interface issues with electrical or manufacturing partners, and supporting integration or launch activities

You work closely with engineers, designers, and launch teams to ensure hardware is ready for each phase of the vehicle lifecycle. Throughout the day, you coach team members, manage technical risk, and keep execution moving across multiple vehicle configurations.
About the team
The Bus Hardware team is responsible for delivering the mechanical backbone of the Amazon Leo satellite bus. The team includes engineers and designers working across structures, vehicle CAD, and launch support, operating as a tightly integrated group rather than separate functions

The team collaborates closely with electrical, thermal, manufacturing, and operations partners to ensure hardware is robust, producible, and ready for launch. Ownership, technical rigor, and strong cross-functional coordination are central to how the team operates.

About Amazon

Sourced by ZipRecruiter

Amazon.com, Inc., commonly known as Amazon, is an American multinational technology company. It was founded by Jeff Bezos in 1994 and initially started as an online marketplace for books. Since then, Amazon has expanded its operations and become one of the largest e-commerce companies in the world. Amazon's primary business is its online retail platform, where customers can purchase a vast array of products, including electronics, clothing, books, home goods, and much more. The company offers a convenient and user-friendly shopping experience, with features such as fast shipping, customer reviews, and personalized recommendations. In addition to its e-commerce platform, Amazon has diversified its business into various other areas. One of its notable ventures is Amazon Web Services (AWS), a comprehensive cloud computing platform that provides services such as storage, compute power, and database management to individuals and businesses. AWS has become a leader in the cloud computing industry, powering many websites and applications worldwide. Amazon has also developed its own consumer electronics, including the popular Amazon Kindle e-reader, Fire tablets, Fire TV streaming devices, and the Alexa-powered Echo smart speakers. The Alexa voice assistant, integrated into these devices, allows users to interact with their devices using voice commands, perform tasks, and access information. Furthermore, Amazon has expanded into media and entertainment. It operates Prime Video, a streaming service that offers a wide range of movies, TV shows, and original content. Amazon Music provides a platform for streaming and purchasing digital music, while Audible offers audiobooks and other audio content. The company's commitment to customer satisfaction and convenience is demonstrated by its membership program, Amazon Prime.
