Maintenance Supervisor - 1st Shift, Leo

Description

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.

As a 1st shift Maintenance Supervisor, you will be engaged in installing, commissioning, and maintaining specialty equipment with the ultimate goal of supporting satellites from the stages of early testing, integration, through to launch and on to production stability. You will maintain complex mechanical, electrical and vacuum chambers to ensure their efficient operations and reliable testing. You will work closely with colleagues throughout Amazon Leo's inter‑disciplinary team to ensure that critical needs and demands on second shift are being met.

You will be essential in the on‑time delivery of hardware capable of achieving mission success as you are directly responsible for all equipment supporting these functions, and will have broad scope and autonomy to fill all gaps between equipment concept and operations.
