Job summary

Amazon Kuiper Manufacturing Enterprises LLC seeks a Sr. Lab Engineer to run the photovoltaic test lab, calibrate equipment, and design test setups for solar modules. You will partner with senior scientists to scope tests, implement data collection methods, and ensure data integrity across campaigns.

You will manage multiple test requests, communicate risks, and mentor junior engineers while driving improvements to lab layout and calibration systems.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree or above in Mechanical, Electrical, Industrial Engineering, or related STEM field.
• 6+ years of experience operating and maintaining precision lab test equipment in an electrical, electro-optical, or similar high-precision test environment.
• Experience managing equipment calibration, preventive maintenance, and equipment uptime in a lab setting.
• Experience designing and setting up test fixtures and data acquisition setups for complex electrical or electro-optical measurements.
• Demonstrated ability to maintain clean, traceable, and well-organized test data and documentation.
• Experience troubleshooting complex lab equipment and test setups to root cause.

Responsibilities

• Own the day-to-day operation of the photovoltaic test lab, including equipment calibration schedules, preventive maintenance, and lab readiness for solar cell and module test campaigns
• Partner directly with senior solar scientists to scope test requirements, then design and execute the test setups, fixturing, and data collection methods that meet those requirements
• Provide direct technical feedback on proposed test setups and equipment choices, drawing on hands-on experience to flag issues before they cost the team time
• Manage and prioritize concurrent test requests across multiple scientists and programs, communicating status, risk, and trade-offs clearly
• Own data integrity and traceability for all test outputs — consistent formatting, version control, calibration records, and documentation that others can pick up and trust
• Troubleshoot equipment and test setup issues at the root cause, working with vendors when equipment service is required
• Develop and maintain test procedures, work instructions, and lab documentation; train other lab staff on equipment and methods
• Drive lab-wide process improvements (layout, tooling tracking, calibration systems) and mentor other lab engineers
