The Aerospace Manufacturing Engineer keeps aerospace environmental test production running smoothly. You will be the front-line technical resource for our production test floor-troubleshooting issues technicians encounter during daily testing and resolving problems spanning test setup, equipment, and IT infrastructure. You will develop deep expertise in our Automated Test Equipment (test racks) used across TVAC, HASS, and thermal chamber testing, becoming the go-to expert when racks go down and production is waiting.

Drawing on your knowledge of environmental testing procedures, test equipment, and Python scripting, you will identify root causes, implement corrective actions, and prevent recurrence-maximizing rack availability, productivity, and product quality. You will develop scripts and tools to automate redundant tasks, improve monitoring, and raise operational efficiency, and you will work cross-functionally with Development, QA, Manufacturing, and Support teams to continuously improve the availability and performance of Amazon LEO's production Automated Test Equipment.

Key job responsibilities

Serve as first responder to technician escalations during production testing, troubleshooting electrical, mechanical, software, and network-related problems on the fly to minimize downtime
