Test Engineer

Amazon Leo is Amazon's low Earth orbit satellite broadband network. Its mission is to deliver fast, reliable internet to customers and communities around the world, and we've designed the system with the capacity, flexibility, and performance to serve a wide range of customers from individual households to schools, hospitals, businesses, government agencies, and other organizations operating in locations without reliable connectivity.

This role is for a highly dynamic and motivated individual that will work with manufacturing engineers to construct instructions and processes for technicians performing test operations. The test engineer will support both development and production testing of satellites, and their subsystems. The focus for this role will be in dynamics testing - both vibration table and acoustics. You will work with the designers, systems engineers and analysts to construct detailed work instructions for technicians performing environmental test operations. This role will be responsible for supporting the test team to ensure that tests are conducted in compliance with industry standards as well as internal work instructions. This includes reviewing post-test data, and performing root cause corrective actions for any failures. This position will have the opportunity to collaborate with cross-functional teams to lead process and lab improvement projects.

Key job responsibilities:

• Operate test consoles and work with engineering and technician teams to conduct dynamic testing
• Review test plans and write work instructions for technicians to set up and execute testing
• Analyze post test data and have the ability to write test reports of any non-compliant or off-nominal events
• Review failure events and be able to perform root cause analysis and implement corrective actions
• Assess safe working conditions and write job hazard analyses for work areas
• Ability and desire to work in a hands-on lab environment
• Project management skills to accomplish technical projects that span cross functional teams
• Establish and increase the efficiency of environmental test processes to maximize output and enable products to rapidly transition from engineering development to rate production
• Establish production processes for 5S, FOD control, tool management, calibration procedures and visual management of production tooling and equipment
• Enable production test autonomy by challenging requirements, simplifying work procedures, and automating actions
