Description
Amazon Leo is an initiative to launch a constellation of Low Earth Orbit satellites that will provide low-latency, high-speed broadband connectivity to unserved and underserved communities around the world. The Amazon Leo for Government (ALG) Engineering team is a multi-disciplinary technology team involved in developing and delivering targeted and scalable solutions for custom satellite and ground applications. The ALG Engineering team works closely with the core LEO team, and addresses the needs of specific customers (such as government agencies). The Opto-Mechanical Engineer will play an important role in the team delivering innovative and fast-paced design and analysis for both space and ground optical systems and sub-systems. The Opto-Mechanical Engineer will have a background in space based and ground based opto-mechanical design and analysis including electro-mechanical systems integration and packaging. The ideal candidate has experience with optimization trades for optical payloads and architectures. This is a hands-on role for a highly collaborative individual that combines superb technical and analytical capabilities to convert analytic trade studies to a space qualified payloads, while meeting cross discipline requirements. The candidate will have a sharp focus on the specific needs of the customer turn those needs into designs that meet the customer's goals. The successful candidate will have demonstrated experience working on complex programs with a diverse set of talented individuals, as well as with partner organizations (including government agencies). The candidate will exhibit the potential to lead opto-mechanical sub-system development with the collaboration of optical and electrical teams. The will be able to prepare easy-to-read and technically compelling written reports to convey their design and analysis results. 10037 Key job responsibilities - Perform opto-mechanical design and layout trade studies for satellite optical communication payloads, ground based optical communication equipment, and test support hardware contributing to overall system architecture including inputs and requirements from cross discipline teams - Electrical, RF, Bus Structures, Thermal, Dynamics, Mechanisms, Materials, Manufacturing, Assembly, and Test - Execute design validation testing, including testing performed in a relevant environment e.g. Thermal-Vacuum, shock, random vibration using a diverse set of calibration/qualification methods to verify/validate performance/capabilities. - Conduct or support structural, thermal, and optical (STOP) analysis via finite element methods as needed to support design work and to demonstrate that technical solutions will meet the needs and requirements of the customer's mission and application - Facilitate cost trades on multiple parallel configurations for cost/manufacturability vs design uncertainty - Generate detailed designs via CAD systems and engineering drawings with appropriate geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T) - Deliver well-written documentation, reports, and presentations for technical design reviews and as part of proposal efforts - Design and support test campaigns, both development and qualification/acceptance, for space hardware. - Interact directly with customers to understand technical requirements, and translate them into technically robust solutions backed by data and analysis Security Clearance: This position requires that the candidate selected be a US Citizen and candidates must be able to to obtain and maintain a US Government security clearance of TS/SCI.
