Job description

Sr. Solutions Architect, Aerospace & Satellite

This role is within the Amazon Web Services (AWS) Aerospace and Satellite Services organization.

This role can be based in any AWS office in EMEA.

Do you get excited by aerospace, space exploration, satellites, and/or earth observation? If so, then we would love to talk.

AWS is looking for an experienced and self-starter Solution Architect to drive adoption of AWS services for aerospace and satellite solutions globally. Industry segments include launch services, human spaceflight, robotic/autonomous systems, mission control center operations, space stations, satellite constellations, ground segment (ground stations, earth stations, teleports), emergency response services, IoT solutions (smart/digital cities), earth observation, broadcast communications, and various government capabilities.

Solutions Architects work hand in hand with AWS customers to help them make the most of the Cloud. They are at the crossroads of business and technology and engage with organisations at all stages of cloud adoption. Solutions Architects are responsible for creating and presenting technical content and sharing best practices.

Solutions Architects are responsible for the overall technical relationship between customers and AWS and make recommendations on security, cost, performance, reliability, and operational efficiency. They work to understand the customer's needs and give prescriptive guidance on how to create solutions with AWS technology. Solutions Architects lead activities such as architecture reviews, white-boarding sessions, demos, and technical workshops. They collaborate with other teams such as account management, professional services, support, product teams, and the AWS partner ecosystem.

In this role, you will have the opportunity to practice your creativity, linking technology to tangible solutions and educating AWS customers about the art of the possible. You will implement or document cloud-native reference architectures for various use cases. The Solutions Architecture team is diverse, with technologists from various backgrounds. Practical knowledge of the AWS platform is desired but not required, provided you have a sound technical foundation and a desire to learn.

You will have support to grow your expertise in industry and technology areas of depth. Every day, you will learn something new from your customers, peers, and experiments.

At Amazon, you will be encouraged and rewarded for doing what is right for the long-term success of the customer. We value your passion to discover, invent, and build on behalf of customers.

Amazon is committed to diversity and inclusion. We seek builders from all backgrounds and encourage employees to bring their authentic selves to work.

Key job responsibilities

1. Work directly with customers to accelerate their projects and recommend best-practice architectures aligned with their long-term business outcomes.
2. Build technical relationships with customers and operate as their trusted advisor.
3. Share the voice of the customer to inform AWS feature development.
4. Create and share best practices, technical content, and reference architectures.
5. Educate about AWS technology through workshops, meetups, public speaking, online videos, or conferences.
6. Contribute to the growth of the Solutions Architecture organization through interviewing, hiring, and mentoring.
7. Develop areas of depth in technical domains relevant to your interests and customer outcomes.
