Amazon Leo 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. Amazon Leo 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.

You will drive difficult trade-off decisions and communicate the solutions clearly to stakeholders across tech and business organizations to help them understand decisions and options. You will need to dive deep with the development team and challenge the design as needed to drive technical trade-off decisions.
High judgment, ability to influence, analytical talent, exceptional communications, the ability to partner with technical and non-technical stakeholders and leadership are essential to success in this role.

- Influence techs design in partnership with engineering teams in Leo and in Amazon to make sure technology choices are aligned to our needs, and ensure product re-usability and avoid redundancies.
- Develop testing and communicate plans for feature releases.
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.
