Sr Opto Mechanical Engineer, Amazon Leo serves as the technical lead for a manufacturing engineering team focused on producing high-performing optical, electrical, and mechatronic modules for satellite systems. The role involves leading production test development, managing new product introductions, and overseeing the transition from initial production to full rate production. Key responsibilities include designing and analyzing opto-mechanical mounting systems, aligning laser components, measuring optical performance, and creating comprehensive mechanical documentation including BOMs and drawings. Candidates must possess expertise in optical design principles, ray tracing, and mechanical system design using CAD software like Solidworks or Creo. The position requires proficiency in GD&T, FEA, and developing functional test procedures to solve complex industrial challenges related to production velocity, quality, and cost-competitive manufacturing for satellite-to-satellite communication hardware.

What you'll do

  • Lead the production test development, improvement, and maintenance for key spacecraft modules.
  • Serve as the primary technical interface between manufacturing and design teams during reviews and escalations.
  • Design and analyze opto-mechanical systems including mounting, DFM, and FMEA reviews.
  • Align optical systems and measure laser properties to ensure products meet specifications.
  • Manage full mechanical documentation including BOMs, drawings, and production procedures.
  • Solve industrial challenges regarding production velocity, quality, and cost-competitive manufacturing concepts.
  • Drive capital investment for production scaling and automation to increase capacity.
  • Mentor and coach a team of manufacturing engineers on technical vision and skill development.

What we're looking for

  • Must be a U.S. citizen, national, permanent resident, or lawfully admitted refugee/asylee for export control compliance.
  • Degree in Mechanical Engineering, Optical Engineering, Physics, Optics/Optical Sciences, or a related field.
  • 7+ years of experience including new product introduction (NPI).
  • 5+ years of experience in mechanical systems design and development using standard CAD software like Solidworks or Creo.
  • Experience in designing opto-mechanical systems with familiarity in optics mounting and alignment.
  • Proficiency in optical design principles and ray tracing.
  • Experience developing functional specifications, design verification plans, and functional test procedures.
  • Expertise in GD&T, FEA, and quality detail drawing documentation.
