Perform quality checks and workmanship verification on harnessing work produced by lab technicians, providing hands-on coaching and correction against workmanship standards
Support the full arc of harness development: prototyping, development builds, and test/qualification support
Maintain and troubleshoot harnessing-specific tooling (crimpers, calibration status, splice/solder equipment) and identify process or tooling gaps
Own harnessing material and lab stock — wire, connectors, backshells, splices, heat shrink, and consumables — including recommending what stock the lab should carry
Maintain accurate inventory levels, conduct regular stock audits, and flag shortages or obsolete/expired material (e.g., shelf-life-limited adhesives or solder)
Contribute to and help refine harness build documentation — work instructions, build travelers, inspection criteria
Operate within documented procedures and standards; escalate ambiguous or non-conforming conditions appropriately rather than making unilateral calls outside the standard
About the team
The Amazon Leo Development Operations (DevOps) team builds and maintains the labs and technical infrastructure that support hardware development across the program — from early prototyping through qualification testing. Our harnessing capability is a critical part of that infrastructure: nearly every subsystem that moves through our labs depends on a harness built right the first time.
We’re looking for someone who thrives in a fast-paced, hands-on development environment and takes real pride in workmanship. You’ll work side-by-side with engineering teams standing up new hardware and with lab technicians building it, so clear communication and a coaching mindset matter as much as technical skill.
Knowledge of tools and measurement devices (oscilloscope, frequency analyzer, or equivalent)
Can lift up to 49 pounds, stand/walk during shifts lasting up to 12 hours, and frequently push, pull, squat, bend, and reach
Experience fabricating, inspecting, and/or reworking wire harnesses or cable assemblies to a standardized workmanship specification such as IPC/WHMA-A-620, NASA-STD-8739.4, MIL-W-5088, or T.O. 1-1A-14 (or service equivalent)
Experience reading and interpreting wiring diagrams, ICDs, and harness drawings
Experience with hand tools and equipment used in harness fabrication (crimpers, strippers, splice/solder equipment)
Associate’s degree in Electronics, Manufacturing Technology, or a related technical field, or equivalent experience
Current IPC/WHMA-A-620 and/or IPC J-STD-001 (Space Addendum) certification
Experience supporting satellite, spacecraft, or other space-flight hardware programs
Experience conducting quality inspections or workmanship audits against IPC/J-STD/NASA/military wiring standards
Experience managing lab or shop material inventory, including stock audits and shelf-life-limited consumables
Experience mentoring or training technicians on harnessing techniques and workmanship standards
Familiarity with data acquisition, instrumentation, or test support in a development lab environment
