Job Description
DESCRIPTION
Amazon LEO is an initiative to launch a constellation of Low Earth Orbit satellites that will provide low-latency, high-speed broadband connectivity to unserved and underserved communities around the world.
You will join a multi-discipline team responsible for development for optical communication system between satellites. You will be responsible for design, build and verification of custom optical metrology stations used to design, build, test and manufacture optical Inter-satellite link systems.
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.
Key job responsibilities
• Design, build and qualify optical metrology stations for build, test and manufacturing of optical Inter-satellite link system.
• Develop clear understanding of optical tests needed for qualifying optical systems
• Conduct optical module design validation test and prepare optical test engineering report for Program Reviews as requested.
• Analyze technical problems arising in optical testing and manufacturing and develop optimal strategies for solving them.
• Develop new and improve existing optical measurement methods, using optical metrology equipment like interferometer, camera, imaging systems, Hart-Mann sensor for optical module integration, alignment, and testing.
• Write MATLAB/Python scripts to analyze and plot data required for stakeholder review.
• Develop measurement process and procedures for volume manufacturing and transfer it production team.
A day in the life
You will tackle challenging, novel situations every day and have the opportunity to work with multiple technical teams at Amazon in different locations.
