Description
Project Kuiper is Amazon’s low Earth orbit satellite broadband network. Its mission is to deliver fast, reliable internet to customers and communities around the world, and we’ve designed the system with the capacity, flexibility, and performance to serve a wide range of customers, from individual households to schools, hospitals, businesses, government agencies, and other organizations operating in locations without reliable connectivity.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.
To deliver on that mission, Amazon is looking for talented candidates who are intellectually curious, have solved complex problems, and have a demonstrated ability to get the right things done quickly and effectively.
In this role, you’ll join Kuiper's Satellite Battery Design and Test team as a Battery Pack/PCBA Manufacturing Engineer to innovate and solve engineering issues that arise during Kuiper's processing of its Satellite Battery Pack and Electronics (production, testing, storage, handling, shipping, etc.). You will be supporting the battery test operations line along side Design, Manufacturing, and Quality teams to improve operational efficiency, deploy new processes, and develop engineering dispositions related to non-conformances. You will work hard, have fun, and make history!
This Engineer may not require extensive battery (cell, pack, or PCBA) knowledge, but will require familiarity and expertise on manufacturing, electrical testing, operations, and industrial automation.
This position will work a typical M-F schedule, with rotating on-call weekend support and may be expected to travel up to 20% depending on business needs. Although not routine, this role may require standing for long periods of time, climbing up and down ladders, bending, grasping, sitting, pulling, pushing, stooping, and stretching. The role may require lifting up to 25lbs. unassisted.
Key job responsibilities
- Be the first point of contact between production, test, and design teams for operational support and triage of issues during battery pack and PCBA testing and manufacturing
- Work to implement new tests, processes, and tools to aid the manufacturing, shipping, and testing of battery cells (destined for satellite battery pack build)
- Identify and implement opportunities to improve quality, efficiency, and robustness of all processes
- Develop standard repairs, rework procedures, propose design for manufacturing and test (DFM/DFT) improvements, improved processes and work instructions; and training for new operators and technicians
- Develop reporting tools on manufacturing KPIs, lead small integrated product teams between customers, stakeholders, and suppliers
- Work with Quality, Manufacturing, and Engineering experts to provide root cause failure analyses;
- Travel to vendor sites as needed to support operational monitoring, ensuring production quality and uptime.
- Manage 3rd party vendors to install capital equipment, train technicians, and maintain quality of work.
A day in the life
This engineer will provide engineering support to keep battery pack (and associated electronics/PCBA) production test running smoothly. In addition, this engineer will resolve engineering issues that arise during manufacturing and assembly processes, quality inspection and acceptance tests, through the application of engineering and design principles, consulting the engineering development teams as needed.
About the team
The battery design organization is a product-oriented team that has been empowered to be entrepreneurial and nimble. The team owns the battery product life cycle from cell selection, to electrical interconnection, to pack structural design and test. We work with partner teams to define requirements, execute test campaigns to verify and validate our designs, and scale from new product introduction into full rate manufacturing.
Qualifications
- Bachelor's degree in engineering field, or equivalent experience;- 3+ years of demonstrated experience in a operations, design, or test role within the battery, energy storage, consumer electronics, automotive, aviation, or space industry
- Familiarity and expertise on manufacturing, electrical testing, operations, and industrial automation.
- Able to support occasional physical test activities (standing for long periods of time, climbing up and down ladders, bending, grasping, sitting, pulling, pushing, stooping, and stretching)
- Able to lift up to 25lbs. unassisted and assist in the move of large equipment
Extended Qualifications
- Experience working with interdisciplinary teams to execute product design from concept to production- Demonstrated ability to manage technical projects from inception through execution,
- Fundamental knowledge of battery electrochemistry and the test of Li ion battery cells and packs
- Experience with PCBA manufacturing, test, bring up, and debug
- Experience deploying solutions to solve complex and ambiguous problems in manufacturing, automation, and test
- Proficiency in data analysis tools and techniques (e.g., Python, MATLAB, or similar) to analyze test data, manufacturing metrics, and process performance for continuous improvement
- Experience with statistical process control and other quality engineering methods.
