Spacecraft Electrical Engineer: RCA & Production Enablement

Amazon; Redmond (WA); On-site; USD 117,000 - 160,000; Full time

Job summary

Amazon Kuiper Manufacturing Enterprises LLC in Redmond, WA is seeking an Electrical Engineer to lead process development and electrical failure RCAs for Line Replaceable Units on the next generation spacecraft. You will coordinate with design, factory operations and QA, driving manufacturing processes from introduction to full-rate production.

You will lead electrical RCAs, develop test procedures, improve yield, and introduce new test technologies while balancing cost and speed.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering or equivalent
• Experience in CAD skills, including being capable of developing an integrated automation layout unassisted
• 3+ years of experience with electro-optical hardware development, analog and mixed-signal board-level design, and high-speed circuit design
• 3+ years of experience with design or test of circuit boards with complex microcontrollers, system-on-chip (SOCs), or FPGAs
• MS or PhD in Electrical Engineering with 5+ years’ industry experience
• Demonstrated understanding of quality metrics, process characterization and mapping, Product Quality / Reliability / Improvement techniques, LEAN Manufacturing, DFM/DFT, and Continuous Process Improvement
• Understand Design for Testability, Design for Manufacturability
• Knowledge of hardware and software tools for test automation (e.g. NI, dSPACE, Python, C/C++, Labview, etc.)
• Digital interface protocols (SPI, I2C, LVDS, CAN, Ethernet) and use cases
• Data converter (ADC/DAC) electrical characteristics, architectures, and design tradeoffs (SNR, ENOB, linearity, settling time)

Responsibilities

• Conceptualize, design, develop, and improve production processes (assembly, integration, test processes) through collaboration of a team of manufacturing engineers
• Lead production electrical failure RCAs and troubleshooting. Support production ramp activities requiring EE analysis both at vendor and in-house production facilities
• Serve as a technical lead on electrical system. Drive yield improvement through process change
• Develops standard rework procedures, test coverage improvements, and PCBA level DFM feedback
• Investigate and introduce new manufacturing test technology and methodology to enhance production efficiency
