Amazon Leo is Amazon's low Earth orbit satellite network. Our mission is to deliver fast, reliable internet connectivity to customers beyond the reach of existing networks. From individual households to schools, hospitals, businesses, and government agencies, Amazon Leo will serve people and organizations operating in locations without reliable connectivity.
We are seeking a Senior Technical Program Manager (TPM) to lead Satellite development, integration, and test. This role sits at the intersection of systems engineering, mechanical design, electrical design, software design, integration, and test contributing to the overall system architecture. The role owns complex programs that ultimately become part of the LEO satellite infrastructure powering global connectivity.
In this role, your TPM leadership will drive delivery of complex projects across all engineering disciplines. You will develop integrated plans for satellite development, drive execution, work at the interfaces, and remove blockers to enable teams to deliver faster and with higher quality. Your ability to see around corners and proactively manage dependencies and risks will be critical to our success.
This is an individual contributor role with broad organizational influence. You’ll drive alignment and execution leveraging your technical domain knowledge, strong program management fundamentals, and trusted partnerships.
