Description For Structural Liaison Engineer

Project Kuiper is Amazon's ambitious initiative to revolutionize global connectivity through a constellation of 3,236 satellites in low Earth orbit (LEO). As a Structural Liaison Engineer, you'll join the Kuiper Structural Analysis team's Material Review Board (MRB) to tackle critical engineering challenges in spacecraft manufacturing and operations.

The role combines hands-on engineering work with strategic problem-solving, requiring expertise in aerospace structural integrity and manufacturing processes. You'll be responsible for reviewing and addressing structural non-conformance issues across all phases of Kuiper operations, from procurement to orbital operations.

Working within the Structural Material Review Board team, you'll collaborate with experts across multiple disciplines including Quality, Design, Manufacturing, and Structural Engineering. The position offers a unique opportunity to contribute to Amazon's mission of bringing fast, affordable broadband to underserved communities worldwide.

The ideal candidate brings strong technical fundamentals in structural dynamics, experience with spacecraft technology, and the ability to balance engineering judgment with analytical rigor. You'll be part of a team that's ultimately responsible for the structural integrity of not just the spacecraft, but all program-supporting commodities.

This is a chance to make history by helping build and maintain a satellite constellation that will help close the digital divide globally. The role offers competitive compensation ($105,600-$185,000 base salary range), equity, and comprehensive benefits. You'll work in a dynamic environment where innovation and technical excellence are paramount to success.

Note: Due to export control requirements, candidates must be U.S. citizens, permanent residents, or have refugee/asylee status. Join us in this groundbreaking initiative to transform global connectivity while solving complex engineering challenges in space technology.
