Test Lab Engineer

Amazon Leo, a part of Amazon, is seeking a Test Lab Engineer to join the Space Simulation Test Lab (SSL) supporting satellite production. The successful candidate will work on high-throughput environmental testing of satellite sub-assemblies, focusing on structural dynamic testing.

The role involves working closely with the Dynamics Engineering team and lab operations to sustain and improve current production test processes while supporting the development, validation, and deployment of new test methodologies.

Key responsibilities:

• Support high-throughput vibration testing of satellite sub-assemblies using electrodynamic shaker systems.
• Partner with Dynamics Engineering and lab operations to sustain and improve production test processes.
• Troubleshoot and resolve issues with shaker systems, controllers, amplifiers, fixturing, and instrumentation.
• Create and execute maintenance plans for electrodynamic shaker systems.
• Assist in the development, validation, and deployment of new vibration test methods and procedures.
• Analyze test data and investigate off-nominal behavior.
• Ensure test readiness by verifying instrumentation setups, fixturing, and test configurations.
• Contribute to continuous improvement initiatives.
• Promote a safe working environment.

The ideal candidate has a strong fundamental understanding of vibration testing principles, experience troubleshooting and maintaining electrodynamic shaker systems, and experience working in a fast-paced production environment.

Basic qualifications:

• 2+ years of hardware development, test lab, space/aerospace maintenance or hands-on engineering environment experience
• Experience operating or troubleshooting electrodynamic shaker systems and vibration control systems.
• Fundamental understanding of vibration testing principles and vibration test instrumentation

Preferred qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, or an equivalent field
• Experience with vibration control and data acquisition systems such as m+p, Data Physics, or equivalent vibration equipment.
• Experience authoring and maintaining operator procedures, and best-practice documentation for environmental or vibration testing.
