Product Design Engineer – Customer Terminals, Amazon Leo

Job ID: 10509641 | Amazon Kuiper Manufacturing Enterprises LLC

Amazon LEO is an initiative to increase global broadband access through a constellation of 3,236 satellites in low Earth orbit (LEO). Its mission is to bring fast, affordable broadband to unserved and underserved communities around the world. Amazon LEO will help close the digital divide by delivering fast, affordable broadband to a wide range of customers, including consumers, businesses, government agencies, and other organizations operating in places without reliable connectivity.

Product Design (PD) strives to constantly raise the bar on the customer experience. Product Design Engineers engage with an experienced cross‑disciplinary team to conceive, design and bring to market innovative consumer products for the Amazon Leo program. Key responsibilities include mechanical part and assembly design, testing, evaluating, and down selection. These positions identify key design attributes, and work quickly and efficiently to converge on an electromechanical design for the system. They highlight concerning issues to leadership and provide recommendations on how to revolve them. The output of their work is the physical product. They know intimately the rationale and tradeoffs behind each and every detail of the design from material selection, a reinforcing rib, a molding gate, etc. They work with manufacturing partners early to scale their designs for high volume manufacturing while optimizing for cost, performance and challenging schedules. They have the ability to communicate effectively and efficiently with PD team members, cross‑functional teams, and executives.
