Key job responsibilities
Work cross-functionally with product, business, capacity planning, and various technical teams (satellite engineering, communications systems and network engineering, science, simulations, etc) to quantify the impact of various technical trades, what if scenarios, and customer requirements on the long-term vision, strategy, and business case for Amazon Leo.

Operate in ambiguous, fast-moving environments where speed of insight can matter as much as analytical precision.

Scale models to include B2B, B2C, B2G, & mobility (aviation, maritime, land mobile), across geographic and temporal grains, capturing both short range, and long range impacts in terms of bandwidth capacity, quality of service metrics, and overall business revenue targets.

Move prototypes to production environments, enabling scalable, repeatable analysis, and flexible frameworks for custom deal support.

Work closely with the capacity planning and applied science teams to ensure that models seamlessly integrate with upstream and downstream systems.

Synthesize and communicate insights and recommendations to audiences of varying levels of technical sophistication to drive decisions across Amazon Leo.

Export Control Requirement: Due to applicable export control laws and regulations, candidates must be a U.S. citizen or national, U.S. permanent resident (i.e., current Green Card holder), or lawfully admitted into the U.S. as a refugee or granted asylum.
