At Amazon, we’re inventing on behalf of customers, and with Amazon Leo, we’re redefining what global connectivity looks like.
Our mission is to deliver fast, affordable broadband to unserved and underserved communities around the world through a constellation of low Earth orbit (LEO) satellites.
Every system we build helps connect people to education, healthcare, opportunity, and each other.
We are seeking a TPM manager to lead satellite avionics and power systems development.
This role sits at the intersection of systems engineering, hardware, software, test, and manufacturing, driving complex programs that ultimately become part of the LEO satellite infrastructure powering global connectivity.
In this role, you manage the TPM team that drives delivery of complex projects involving system architecture, modem, high speed signals, RF communication systems, electrical design, mechanical design, embedded software, thermal design, reliability design, manufacturing, and test.
You'll lead the team to develop integrated plans, drive execution, and remove blockers to enable teams to deliver faster and with higher quality.
Your ability to see around corners and proactively manage dependencies and risks will be critical to our success.
This is a manager role with broad organizational influence.
You’ll drive alignment and execution, leveraging your technical domain knowledge, strong program management fundamentals, and trusted partnerships with all teams throughout the organization.
Key job responsibilities
* Own end-to-end Avionics and power systems development programs from concept through production, managing initiatives that span multiple engineering disciplines and directly impact Leo's satellite constellation deployment.
* Force multiply through the team to ensure delivery, while upholding and insisting on the highest standards.
* Develop strategic and tactical plans for the team to continuously increase development velocity, quality, and delivery for Amazon customers.
This includes optimizing technical program management approaches and development methodologies, tools, and applications.
* Hire and onboard the team;
Develop plans and strategies to train, develop, and grow team capabilities and increase performance.
* Field escalations and negotiate priorities across the Leo program.
Drives resolution across workstreams and stakeholder groups.
* Partners closely with engineering (electrical, software, reliability, thermal, test, mechanical, manufacturing), driving engineering trades and technical solutions.
(system, sub-system, and component level) * Develop and coach structured risk management approaches, maintaining a high bar of accountability across design and production teams to ensure program commitments are met.
* Develop and coach integrated schedule development, dependencies, risks, and tradeoffs in a high-speed, high-complexity, agile environment.
* Apply understanding of concept of operations, system budgets, and lifecycle considerations for satellite avionics and power systems.
* Translate engineering concepts into executable plans.
(hardware and software) * Formulate plans with engineering and manufacturing for new product introductions including DFM, manufacturing processes, test strategies, and automated test system development.
* Drive cross-team alignment on ownership, sequencing, and delivery while adapting quickly as conditions change, ensuring deliverables meet customer, mission and program requirements.
* Write and present data-driven narratives (quarterly business reviews, post-mortems, etc.) to influence and inform key decision makers.
