Sr Technical Program Manager - 3GPP Stack, Amazon Leo

About the position

At Amazon, we’re inventing on behalf of customers, and with Amazon Leo, we’re

redefining what global connectivity looks like. Our mission is to deliver fast,

affordable connectivity to unserved and underserved communities around the world

through a constellation of low Earth orbit (LEO) satellites. Every system we

build helps connect people to education, healthcare, opportunity, and each

other.

We are seeking a Senior Technical Program Manager (TPM) to lead integration and

development of our next generation satellites. This role sits at the

intersection of hardware, software, manufacturing, and systems engineering,

driving complex programs that ultimately become part of the LEO satellite

infrastructure powering global connectivity.

In this role, you will lead design, implementation, deployment and operations of

a 3GPP 5G NTN and Open RAN based networking and management stack functions for

the satellite payloads. You will work closely with software, test and

validation, reliability, RF hardware, and custom silicon development teams to

optimize low-latency high-reliability payload connectivity solution.

This is an individual contributor role with broad organizational influence.

You’ll drive alignment and execution through technical depth, strong program

fundamentals, and trusted partnerships, driving work across engineering,

operations, and production.
