Job description

Mobility Technical Program Manager, Amazon Leo

Amazon Leo is Amazon’s low Earth orbit satellite network. Our mission is to deliver fast, reliable broadband connectivity to customers beyond the reach of existing networks. From households to small businesses, schools, hospitals, and government agencies, Amazon Leo will serve communities and organizations operating in places without dependable internet access.

Key job responsibilities

In this role, you will be the connective tissue between the PMT, business development, and engineering teams, keeping test strategy, environments, targets, and timelines aligned with real customer requirements and SLAs. You will own the program mechanics behind a complex, hardware-intensive testing operation. You will manage cross-segment test schedules and dependencies, track progress against network performance targets, and drive the readiness of test environments including van, vessel, and aircraft testbeds, their HW infrastructure, and the test software and tooling. You will coordinate with internal and external partners (engineering teams, flight-test and vessel vendors, and field-quality engineering) to keep test coverage aligned with a fast-moving release cadence of new software builds and hardware. You will track open items and risks, drive mitigations to closure, and maintain clear, data-backed status for leadership.

Success in this role requires strong technical program management judgment, comfort with networking and connectivity concepts, and the ability to coordinate many moving parts across geographies and organizations. You will define and report the metrics that show verification is on track and anticipate dependencies and risks before they slip. The ideal candidate is a hands-on, highly organized TPM who thrives in ambiguity, is comfortable working closely with engineers and field teams on real-world hardware in motion, and is energized by the challenge of proving out a brand-new satellite connectivity experience for customers on land, at sea, and in the air.

Export Control Requirements

Due to applicable export control laws and regulations, candidates must be a U.S. citizen or national, U.S. permanent resident (i.e., current Green Card holder), or lawfully admitted into the U.S. as a refugee or granted asylum.

Basic Qualifications

• Experience previously in program or project management
• Experience working on programs across cross functional teams, building processes and coordinating release schedules
• Experience building measures and metrics, and developing reporting solutions
• Experience coordinating across engineering and business teams and managing technical dependencies, schedules, and risks

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience transforming raw thoughts into clear technical documentation and/or direction.
