MFG Engineer - Mechanical Assy, Manufacturing Engineering, Project Kuiper

Project Kuiper is Amazon's ambitious initiative to launch a constellation of Low Earth Orbit satellites, aimed at providing high-speed broadband connectivity to underserved communities worldwide. As a Manufacturing Engineer for Mechanical Assembly, you'll play a crucial role in bringing this vision to life.

You'll be responsible for the manufacturing engineering ownership of multiple mechanisms and assemblies for the satellite program. Working at the intersection of design and production, you'll provide critical input on manufacturability during the early design phase and support testing of assemblies. Your expertise will be vital in transitioning designs from concept to full-scale production.

The role demands a thorough understanding of mechanical systems and spacecraft manufacturing processes. You'll lead test campaigns to validate manufacturing processes for robustness, yield, and reliability. In the production environment, your focus will be on optimizing assembly processes for both cost-efficiency and quality.

You'll collaborate with a diverse team of thermal and dynamic analysts, design engineers, and tooling/automation specialists. The team culture is fast-paced and data-driven, maintaining relentlessly high standards while constantly seeking improvements in performance, quality, and cost.

This is an opportunity to work on cutting-edge space technology with real-world impact. The role offers competitive compensation ranging from $105,600 to $185,000 annually, plus additional benefits including equity and comprehensive medical coverage. Join us in revolutionizing global connectivity through advanced satellite technology.
