Amazon Manufacturing Engineer – Environmental Test Project Kuiper 

United States, Washington, Redmond 

477221461

As a Manufacturing Engineer within Project Kuiper's Environmental Test team, you will assist with environmental testing of hardware including vibration, shock, thermal, vacuum and acoustic.You will work with the hardware designers, systems engineers and engineering analysts to construct test processes for technicians performing environmental test operations. To be successful in this role you will need to define, procure, setup, and maintain test equipment, fixtures and test support hardware. You will partner with fixture and harnessing teams to ensure component standardization across the program. You will create the foundational production system standards and processes needed to achieve rate production.
Key job responsibilities
- Serve as the primary point of support for environmental test equipment and processes- Establish and increase the efficiency of environmental test procedures to maximize output and enable products to rapidly transition from engineering development to rate production
- Develop test automation, data acquisition, and data analysis software to improve test efficiency and cycle times
- Author, refine, and implement test procedures for environmental test equipment.
- Identify improvement opportunities and execute initiatives to maintain safe operations, ensure product quality, reduce lead time and increase productivity
- Troubleshoot and identify ultimate root cause of issues in environmental test processes and implement corrective actions to prevent recurrence- Enable production test autonomy by challenging requirements, simplifying work procedures, and automating actions- Specify, procure and set up environmental test cell layouts for the production floor.
- Define and implement solutions to optimize and automate environmental testing.
- Work with other engineers to refine test requirements and the methodologies to achieve those requirements.
- Must be willing to work off shifts and weekends as required.
Export Control Requirement:A day in the life
In this role, you will:
- Organize the various ground support equipment development initiatives across engineering and design functions.
- Support full development cycles of hardware through development, QTP (qualification test procedures), and flight hardware ATP (acceptance test procedures).

- Bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, aerospace engineering, physics, material science or other related discipline
- Highly familiar with QTP/ATP production test methods, and automated data acquisition and collection
- Experience developing software with Python, LabVIEW, or TestStand
- 2+ years experience with electrical test equipment, data acquisition, or control software
- 2+ years of test experience with mechanical/electrical systems, PCBA's and/or embedded software
- 2+ years experience with project management of technical projects

- 3+ years experience in component development testing within an aerospace testing environment
- 3+ years experience with Environmental Testing of ambient thermal and vacuum thermal per SMC-S-016, MIL-STD-1540D or MIL-STD-810G
- Experience with test instrumentation (i.e. thermocouples, accelerometers, pressure transducers, etc.)
- Experience with complex products in a fast-paced, ambiguous environment
- Experience working with interdisciplinary teams to execute product design from concept to production
