About the Role

As a Senior Technical Program Manager for Satellite Manufacturing at Amazon, you will be responsible for leading the production roadmap for production value streams that deliver end-to-end solutions for sourcing, building, testing, and integrating satellites.

You will establish the linkage between production roadmap and annual goals and objectives, creating and owning tools and mechanisms to measure, monitor, and optimize these value streams.

Key responsibilities include driving daily execution, working across supply chain, planning, fulfillment, and production teams, and representing the overall production roadmap in assessing technical trades related to innovation, speed, manufacturability, cost, stability, and trust.

You will translate strategic goals into actionable plans for specific projects and operations, understand dependencies between roadmap projects, synchronize milestones, identify constraints, and dive deep to unblock and deliver the roadmap.

Create new tools and business processes that simplify, standardize, and enable operational excellence across the entire production value stream.

Develop and own operational rhythms for all production operations teams, identify potential risks in manufacturing processes, and develop mitigation strategies and recovery plans.

Execute a strategic plan that defines how teams will deliver on forward-looking production plans, support the development and execution of Production Rate Ramp roadmaps, and partner with business teams on scalable, standardized approaches to meet their demand and enable growth.

Drive the creation, documentation, and adoption of scalable, standardized, and highly visible processes across all supply chain, manufacturing, and launch functions.

Drive executive communication cadence and deliver artifacts that provide insight into the activities, accomplishments, challenges, and risks of operations to senior leadership.

Measure, analyze, improve, and control KPIs across all aspects of the operation, work with software and analytics teams to develop reporting tools and applications that support operating rhythms, analyze production data to identify trends, issues, and opportunities for improvement.

Support implementation training on new processes or improvements identified through PDCA cycles, drive year-over-year optimization opportunities in all areas of operations, including manufacturing and sourcing.

Provide feedback/escalate systemic concerns to tech teams regarding approaches that are cost-inefficient or detrimental to scaling, advise production directors and senior managers on technology and execution decisions, unblock production teams, and increase the speed of delivery.

Negotiate resources and priorities across different technology stakeholders, create new tools and business processes that simplify, standardize, and enable operational excellence across the entire production value stream.

Ensure effective communication of changes and improvements across the organization, perform internal audits to assess adherence to procedures, systems, and standards.

A day in the life of this role will be highly collaborative, requiring partnerships with cross-functional production stakeholders to drive positive results.

This role requires the ability to advocate on behalf of our customers (internal and external) and an ability to push back without being adversarial.

This role will be supporting production of satellite operations across our facilities in Redmond and Kirkland, WA.

A typical day for this role will be working directly with production teams and value stream owners on plan execution and check process adherence.

Throughout the day, an Sr. Operations TPM for satellite manufacturing must balance strategic planning with hands-on oversight of project execution.

Communication skills are crucial, as they interact with various stakeholders including customers, suppliers, and internal teams.

The role requires strong leadership to motivate and coordinate teams towards achieving project goals while maintaining a focus on quality, efficiency, and adherence to timelines.

Overall, the role demands strategic thinking, effective leadership, and meticulous oversight to drive satellite manufacturing projects forward successfully.

This role will tackle challenging, novel situations every day and have the opportunity to work with multiple technical teams at Amazon in different locations.

You should be comfortable with a high degree of ambiguity and relish the idea of solving problems that haven't been solved at scale before.

Along the way, we guarantee that you will learn a lot, have fun, and make a positive impact on millions of people.
