Maintenance Supervisor - 2nd Shift, Project Kuiper

Project Kuiper is Amazon’s low Earth orbit satellite

broadband network. Its mission is to deliver fast, reliable

internet to customers and communities around the world, and we’ve

designed the system with the capacity, flexibility, and performance

to serve a wide range of customers, from individual households

to schools, hospitals, businesses, government agencies, and other

organizations operating in locations without reliable connectivity.

As a 2nd shift Maintenance Supervisor, you will be engaged in

installing, commissioning, and maintaining specialty equipment with

the ultimate goal of supporting satellites from the stages of early

testing, integration, through to launch and on to production

stability. You will maintain complex mechanical, electrical and

vacuum chambers to ensure their efficient operations and reliable

testing. You will work closely with colleagues throughout Project

Kuiper’s inter-disciplinary team to ensure that critical needs and

demands on second shift are being met. You will be essential in the

on-time delivery of hardware capable of achieving mission success

as you are directly responsible for all equipment supporting these

functions, and will have broad scope and autonomy to fill all gaps

between equipment concept and operations. You will work closely

with your 2nd shift team members to ensure critical pass downs and

communications are being provided daily. You will lead the charge

to develop, improve, review and maintain the preventative

maintenance program while ensuring appropriate procedures in place

to supporting spacecraft testing and builds.
