Sr. Solutions Architect, Aerospace & Satellite

This role is within the Amazon Web Services (AWS) Aerospace and Satellite Services organization.

This role can be based in any AWS office in EMEA.

Do you get excited by aerospace, space exploration, satellites, and/or earth observation? If so, then we would love to talk.

AWS is looking for an experienced and self-starter Solution Architect to drive adoption of AWS services for aerospace and satellite solutions globally. Industry segments include launch services, human spaceflight, robotic/autonomous systems, mission control center operations, space stations, satellite constellations, ground segment (ground stations, earth stations, teleports), emergency response services, IoT solutions (smart/digital cities), earth observation, broadcast communications, and various government capabilities.

Solutions Architects work hand in hand with AWS customers to help them make the most of the Cloud. They are at the crossroads of business and technology and engage with organisations at all stages of cloud adoption. Solutions Architects are responsible for creating and presenting technical content and sharing best practices.

Solutions Architects are responsible for the overall technical relationship between customers and AWS and make recommendations on security, cost, performance, reliability, and operational efficiency. They work to understand the customer's needs and give prescriptive guidance on how to create solutions with AWS technology. Solutions Architects lead activities such as architecture reviews, white-boarding sessions, demos, and technical workshops. They collaborate with other teams such as account management, professional services, support, product teams, and the AWS partner ecosystem.

In this role, you will have the opportunity to practice your creativity, linking technology to tangible solutions and educating AWS customers about the art of the possible. You will implement or document cloud-native reference architectures for various use cases. The Solutions Architecture team is diverse, with technologists from various backgrounds. Practical knowledge of the AWS platform is desired but not required, provided you have a sound technical foundation and a desire to learn.

You will have support to grow your expertise in industry and technology areas of depth. Every day, you will learn something new from your customers, peers, and experiments.

At Amazon, you will be encouraged and rewarded for doing what is right for the long-term success of the customer. We value your passion to discover, invent, and build on behalf of customers.

Amazon is committed to diversity and inclusion. We seek builders from all backgrounds and encourage employees to bring their authentic selves to work.

Key job responsibilities

  1. Work directly with customers to accelerate their projects and recommend best-practice architectures aligned with their long-term business outcomes.
  2. Build technical relationships with customers and operate as their trusted advisor.
  3. Share the voice of the customer to inform AWS feature development.
  4. Create and share best practices, technical content, and reference architectures.
  5. Educate about AWS technology through workshops, meetups, public speaking, online videos, or conferences.
  6. Contribute to the growth of the Solutions Architecture organization through interviewing, hiring, and mentoring.
  7. Develop areas of depth in technical domains relevant to your interests and customer outcomes.

Space Sector Jobs Skills Radar 2026: Emerging Tools, Technologies & Platforms to Learn Now

From launch vehicles and CubeSats to space-based communications, climate monitoring, and lunar exploration—UK space jobs are entering a bold new era. With government investment, private capital, and ESA partnerships driving growth, demand is surging for professionals with the right skills to build and sustain this expanding space economy. Welcome to the Space Sector Jobs Skills Radar 2026—your annual guide to the engineering tools, simulation platforms, programming languages and mission technologies that UK employers are prioritising. Whether you're an aerospace graduate, software engineer, or systems integrator, this radar helps you target the future of UK space careers.

How to Find Hidden Space Jobs in the UK Using Professional Bodies like the RAeS, UKSpace & More

The UK space sector is enjoying rapid growth—driven by satellite constellations, launch services, Earth observation, space science, and defence applications. But while demand for engineers, scientists, mission designers, and space analysts is high, many of the most compelling roles are never advertised publicly. Instead, these opportunities are often filled through professional networks, working groups, innovation clusters, and academic-industry partnerships. This guide will show you how to access hidden UK space jobs by engaging with bodies like the Royal Aeronautical Society (RAeS), UKSpace, British Interplanetary Society (BIS), and regional space clusters. By leveraging membership directories, special-interest groups (SIGs), CPD events, and funded projects, you can position yourself to be first in line—even before roles are posted.

How to Get a Better Space Sector Job After a Lay-Off or Redundancy

Being made redundant from a role in the UK space sector can be disheartening. Whether your work was tied to satellite design, launch services, ground systems, mission operations, or Earth observation analytics, the experience and specialist knowledge you've gained is still highly valuable. The UK government’s Space Strategy, increased commercial investment, and new launch initiatives across Cornwall, Scotland, and Wales continue to drive opportunities in upstream and downstream space technologies. This guide will help you relaunch your career in the UK space sector after redundancy.
