About The Position

Amazon Leo is Amazon’s low Earth orbit satellite broadband network. Its mission
is to deliver fast, reliable internet to customers and communities around the
world, and we’ve designed the system with the capacity, flexibility, and
performance to serve a wide range of customers, from individual households to
schools, hospitals, businesses, government agencies, and other organizations
operating in locations without reliable connectivity.

The success of Amazon Leo depends on the quality, reliability, cost,
integration, throughput, and security of the products that you deliver. If you
seek a fast-paced, dynamic environment; if you thrive on solving difficult
problems where resolutions have high impact; and if you love the challenge of
building something from scratch, then this role will be an ideal next career
step. To be successful you need to be highly motivated and detail oriented while
showing the highest standards of execution.

The Process Technician will work closely with cross-functional engineering,
test, quality and operations teams on flight hardware integration processes.
This position requires skill and experience in a variety of areas, including
mechanical assembly, propellent loading, rigging, electrical checkouts and
satellite troubleshooting. In short, you will be responsible for a majority of
the most critical tasks to process and integrate the Kuiper satellite for
launch, ensuring high quality, workmanship and safety standards are adhered to
on a daily basis.

Here at Amazon, we embrace our differences. We are committed to furthering our
