About this role

Mechanical Engineer, Propulsion, Amazon Leo Redmond, Washington, USA Amazon Leo is Amazon's low Earth orbit satellite network. Our mission is to deliver fast, reliable internet connectivity to customers beyond the reach of existing networks. From individual households to schools, hospitals, businesses, and government agencies, Amazon Leo serves people and organizations operating in locations without reliable connectivity. As a mechanical engineer within the propulsion team you will sustain and improve propulsion hardware across high-volume production and on-orbit operation, designing upgrades, resolving anomalies, and driving hardware reliability at scale. You will combine analytical rigor with hands-on ownership to conduct root-cause investigations and design corrective solutions that keep hardware lightweight, cost-effective, and performing consistently at scale. This is a hands-on role which requires collaboration across functional boundaries to disposition non-conformances, design and release engineering changes, and maintain the structural, thermal-mechanical, fluid, and packaging hardware that underpins the propulsion system. 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 - Solve mechanical, thermal, structural, and fluid system problems on space-grade hardware using first-principles analysis to drive decisions - Design and analyze hardware upgrades informed by production data, fleet telemetry, and failure trends - Produce design documentation - drawings, tolerance analyses, and test plans - at a level of detail that drives qualification and production without ambiguity - Design for structural and
