Front-End Engineer, Manufacturing Systems Engineering, Project Kuiper

Project Kuiper is Amazon's ambitious low Earth orbit satellite broadband network initiative, aimed at delivering fast, reliable internet to customers and communities worldwide. The Manufacturing Systems Engineering (MSE) team plays a crucial role in building standardized, automated, and scalable manufacturing systems for this groundbreaking project.

As a Front-End Engineer in the MSE team, you'll be at the forefront of developing software solutions that improve the speed and quality of Kuiper manufacturing systems. The role involves building large-scale web applications using modern JavaScript frameworks like React, while working closely with engineering and production teams to enhance reliability and repeatability in manufacturing processes.

The position offers an exciting opportunity to work on cutting-edge space technology while solving complex manufacturing challenges. You'll be responsible for developing production-quality web applications that are both secure and accessibility compliant, while collaborating with various stakeholders including factory planners and technicians.

The MSE team serves as the critical interface between engineering and production teams, ensuring seamless integration of software and hardware components in developing production-ready systems. The team focuses on four key areas: automated testing for chambers, calibration and provisioning of manufacturing systems, shop floor management tools, and optimized test station design and infrastructure.

This role offers competitive compensation ranging from $129,300 to $223,600 per year, depending on location, plus additional benefits including equity, sign-on payments, and comprehensive medical coverage. The position requires U.S. citizenship or permanent residency due to export control laws.

Working at Amazon's Project Kuiper means joining a team that's pushing the boundaries of what's possible in satellite communications while maintaining the highest standards of manufacturing excellence. You'll have the opportunity to mentor fellow engineers, contribute to building a strong engineering culture, and make a significant impact on a project that aims to bring internet connectivity to underserved communities worldwide.
