Redmond, Washington, United States Amazon Full time

At Amazon, we are committed to innovation and pushing the boundaries of what is possible. As a Senior Technical Program Manager for Project Kuiper, you will play a key role in defining and developing interfaces, managing requirements, and organizing technical efforts.

Company Overview

Project Kuiper is an ambitious initiative aimed at increasing global broadband access through a constellation of 3,236 satellites in low Earth orbit (LEO). Our mission is to bring fast, affordable broadband to underserved communities worldwide, helping to bridge the digital divide.

You will have significant influence over the design and test approach we take to develop the system, working with multiple technical teams across Amazon in different locations. You should be comfortable with ambiguity and relish solving problems that haven't been solved at scale before.

This position requires a program management background and direct experience developing relevant systems. You will create high-level strategic initiatives but also roll up your sleeves and contribute directly. A Senior TPM anticipates bottlenecks, uses great judgment to make trade-offs, and balances business needs with technical constraints.

Job Description

This position is responsible for driving complex cross-functional engineering trades to optimize performance, mass, cost, and reliability of high-performance systems. You will coordinate work with teams developing other systems, as well as assembly, integration, and tests.

You will develop and manage technical requirements and interfaces that tie to system-level requirements. Identify and manage trade studies and analyses necessary to understanding performance and other aspects of the design. Manage the development of complex hardware and software development, optimizing velocity through design and application of mechanisms.

You will manage timelines, dependencies, and deliverables, ensuring successful project completion. This role involves direct responsibility for program management of system-level development, integration, and test.

Required Skills and Qualifications
  • Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering or related field, or equivalent experience.
  • 5+ years of hardware, software, system integration and test development of complex systems across the full product life cycle – concept to production.
  • 3+ years of experience in a technical lead, systems engineer, or technical program management role with significant experience architecting and integrating HW and SW into a complex system.
  • 3+ years of experience leading cross-functional teams delivering products on schedule.
Salary

The base pay for this position ranges from $133,900/year in our lowest geographic market up to $231,400/year in our highest geographic market.
