Project Kuiper is an initiative to increase global broadband access through a constellation of 3,236 satellites in low Earth orbit (LEO). Its mission is to bring fast, affordable broadband to unserved and underserved communities around the world. Project Kuiper will help close the digital divide by delivering fast, affordable broadband to a wide range of customers, including consumers, businesses, government agencies, and other organizations operating in places without reliable connectivity. This role includes direct responsibility for program management of planning, manufacturing, integration, and test of production value stream. This is a highly technical role requiring experience with integrated hardware and software as well as some appreciation for complex applications and manufacturing systems. Candidate superpowers should include bias for action, ownership, insist on high standards, stakeholder management, innovation, creating clarity out of ambiguity, and enabling productive collaboration across different organization. As a Senior Technical Program Manager, you will own the production roadmap for production value streams that delivers the end-to-end solutions necessary to source, build, test and integrate satellites. You will establish the linkage between production roadmap and annual goals & objectives, creating and owning tools and mechanisms to measure, monitor and optimize these value streams. Your role will involve driving daily execution working across supply chain, planning, fulfillment, and production teams, 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 where necessary to unblock and deliver the roadmap. This position requires a high degree of collaboration, as you will partner with cross-functional production stakeholders to drive positive results. You will advocate on behalf of our customers (internal and external) and push back when necessary without being adversarial. The role demands strategic thinking, effective leadership, and meticulous oversight to drive satellite manufacturing projects forward successfully. You 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.
