As a senior Aerospace Manufacturing Engineer at Amazon Leo, you will lead the production process development and maintenance for critical satellite assemblies in the early stages of manufacturing ramp-up. Your primary responsibilities include investigating non-conformances, designing and qualifying production equipment, planning material flow, and optimizing test efficiency through Design for Manufacturability (DFM) and Design for Testability (DFT). You will collaborate with cross-functional engineering teams to resolve technical issues, enhance process efficiencies, and ensure timely production schedules. The role requires expertise in SolidWorks simulation or Ansys Finite Element analysis tools, proficiency in scripting languages for data processing, and a strong background in mechanical engineering, ideally with experience in high-volume manufacturing of complex products. This fast-paced environment demands relentless standards and continuous improvement to deliver cutting-edge satellite technology efficiently and cost-effectively.
