Sr Configuration Analyst/Manager, Mechanical Engineering, Configuration Management

Amazon Leo is Amazon's low Earth orbit satellite network. Our mission is to deliver fast, reliable internet connectivity to customers beyond the reach of existing networks. From individual households to schools, hospitals, businesses, and government agencies, Amazon Leo will serve people and organizations operating in locations without reliable connectivity. We are seeking an experienced Configuration Change Analyst/Manager with deep expertise in Configuration Management and Systems Engineering to join the Engineering Practice & Configuration Management team. This is a highly technical engineering role requiring hands-on experience with integrated hardware development programs and a strong appreciation for complex satellite systems architecture. You will carry direct responsibility for engineering change analysis across system and subsystem design, ensuring alignment of changes with technical design, interface specifications, requirements, and programmatic schedule, cost, and production constraints. You will perform impact analysis across the full satellite system—spanning satellite bus, payload, electrical engineering, phased array antenna, radio frequency, and structural subsystems—and maintain configuration baselines across multiple vehicle configurations and evolving product lines. This role requires someone who has established data hierarchies and structures for aerospace systems, understands the physical architecture of spacecraft, and can translate complex change impacts into data-driven technical packages for leadership decision-making. You will tackle challenging, novel situations every day and collaborate with multiple technical and production manufacturing teams across Amazon locations. You should be comfortable with a high degree of ambiguity and energized by the opportunity to solve problems that have not been solved at this scale before.
