Lead Technical Program Management of DTD Payload and Device Integration: Drive the program from early architecture and design through integration and qualification testing, ensuring these critical systems meet performance, reliability, and schedule requirements. Your leadership will directly influence how the payload features and functions, and devices are integrated and deployed as part of Amazon's global non-terrestrial network (NTN). You'll develop mechanisms and processes connecting multi-disciplinary payload engineering, business, product management, device vendors and partners, test equipment vendors to manage the payload and device integration efforts in creating Amazon Leo's 3GPP-based NTN solution. Success requires deep technical judgment, strong program leadership, and the ability to drive alignment across complex engineering organizations. You will align teams across organizations, remove obstacles, bring structure to the program, and ensure complex technical programs move forward with speed, clarity, and accountability. The role involves working closely with engineering leadership to drive technical trade studies and design decisions that balance performance, schedule, and interoperability. You will collaborate with engineering teams, device hardware and software vendors, chipset vendors, and test equipment vendors to scale the DTD device integration with D2D payload and NTN network. Own Program Planning, Milestones, and Risk Management. Develop and maintain program plans that track major milestones across D2D payload and device feature integration, qualification testing, device certification and deployment for end-to-end network readiness. You will proactively identify technical and programmatic risks, build mitigation strategies, and communicate clear status updates to engineering leaders and stakeholders to ensure alignment across the organization. Enable Successful Integration and Test Campaigns. Partner with test and validation teams to develop strategies that demonstrate system performance and service launch readiness. You will coordinate complex testing activities, including subsystem integration, system-level validation, and connectivity across the end-to-end network, to ensure devices in the Leo DTD network are ready for customers. Help transition from early DTD payload development into a large-scale device ecosystem that interoperates with D2D payloads across the Leo DTD constellation. ## Related Videos - [Remote Driving on Plant Grounds with State-of-the-Art Cloud Technologies](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/251-remote-driving-on-plant-grounds-with-state-of-the-art-cloud-technologies) - [Swapping a Data Warehouse at Runtime: Zero-Downtime Migration Without Changing a Single Client](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100311-swapping-a-data-warehouse-at-runtime-zero-downtime-migration-without-changing-a-single-client) - [WeAreDevelopers LIVE - Building The World’s Worst Image Editor™](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1836-wearedevelopers-live-building-the-world-s-worst-image-editor) - [From Bedside Beeps to Interoperable Bytes – Getting your medical devices ready to talk the IEEE 11073 language](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/771-from-bedside-beeps-to-interoperable-bytes-getting-your-medical-devices-ready-to-talk-the-ieee-11073-language) - [Coffee with Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/341-coffee-with-developers) - [Location Verification without GPS?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1184-location-verification-without-gps) ## Related Articles - [How We Built a Worry-Free System That Runs for 10+ Years – And What We’d Do Again](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/751-how-we-built-a-worry-free-system-that-runs-for-10-years-and-what-we-d-do-again) - [From developer to manager – what does it take to become an engineering manager?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/42-from-developer-to-manager-what-does-it-take-to-become-an-engineering-manager) - [Should Tech Managers Be Developers First?
