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. Export Control Requirement: Due to applicable export control laws and regulations, candidates must be a U.S. citizen or national, U.S. permanent resident (i.e., current Green Card holder), or lawfully admitted into the U.S. as a refugee or granted asylum. To deliver on that mission, Amazon Leo is looking for talented candidates who combine superb technical, research and analytical capabilities with a demonstrated ability to get the right things done quickly and effectively. We’re looking for people who innovate and love solving hard problems and building hardware. You will work hard, have fun, and make history! This Structural Analysis Engineer must have a background in spacecraft development, and must be able to understand the balance between engineering judgment versus analysis rigor and when each is appropriate. Key job responsibilities - Perform structural analysis tasks; - Document stress analysis substantiating engineering drawings and documents; - Support test execution, analyze results, and document verification of structural requirements; - Support production and operation support activities through analysis of non-conformances, investigating failures, and analyzing improvements; - Supporting configuration development and trade studies; - Maintain and report on activity schedule, budget and technical status; - Support internal/external design reviews, technical interchange meetings (TIMs), preliminary/critical design reviews (PDR/CDR) A day in the life This Structures Analysis Engineer will be a SME in Satellite Primary Bus and/or component Structures. The person will be responsible to work comfortably with System and component FEM models, develop detailed FEMs when appropriate, integrate sub-system payload FEMs, complete classical hand calculations, and interface with various design engineering teams. The person will be familiar with dynamic loads, and various test methods used to substantiate satellite primary structures. About the team The Structural Integrity and Analysis team is responsible for Structural Integrity of not only the spacecraft but all other commodities supporting the program, inside and outside of Mechanical Engineering group.
