About the role

Amazon Leo is Amazon's low Earth orbit satellite network, aiming to deliver fast, reliable internet connectivity to customers beyond the reach of existing networks. As a Mechanical Engineer on the Avionics Mechanical team, you will design and develop the mechanical implementation of spacecraft electrical systems from early architecture through flight hardware.

This role requires strong mechanical engineering fundamentals, sound problem-solving skills, and the ability to work across disciplines to develop reliable flight hardware. You will own hardware throughout the product lifecycle while balancing performance, reliability, manufacturability, cost, and schedule.

Responsibilities

• Design and develop spacecraft avionics hardware from concept through production.
• Partner with Electrical Engineering to integrate circuit boards, connectors, harnesses, and electronic assemblies into robust mechanical designs.
• Perform engineering analyses and trade studies to support design decisions.
• Develop hardware that withstands launch, vibration, thermal cycling, radiation, and the space environment.
• Support qualification testing, manufacturing, and hardware troubleshooting.
• Collaborate with cross-functional engineering teams to identify and retire technical risk.
• Investigate failures and implement design improvements throughout the product lifecycle.
• Contribute to engineering best practices and continuous improvement efforts.

Requirements

• 3+ years of working in mechanical engineering or equivalent experience
• Bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering or equivalent
• Experience in the design of complex mechanical products and equipment at volume
• Experience with CAD tools and engineering documentation
• Experience working in cross-functional engineering teams
• Understanding of mechanical design fundamentals, materials, manufacturing processes, and tolerance analysis
• Strong problem-solving and communication skills

Preferred Qualifications

• Master's degree in mechanical engineering or equivalent
• Experience developing aerospace, defense, medical device, automotive, semiconductor, or consumer electronics products
• Experience designing electronics packaging or electromechanical assemblies
• Experience supporting environmental qualification or reliability testing
• Familiarity with FMEA, DFM/DFA, V&V, and root cause analysis
• Experience collaborating across multiple engineering disciplines throughout product development
