Customer Solutions Manager, Aerospace and Satellite

Application deadline: Oct 5, 2026

Are you passionate about helping aerospace and satellite organizations harness the power of cloud technology and AI to accelerate their missions — from orbit to the edge? Amazon Web Services (AWS) is seeking a Customer Solutions Manager (CSM) to join our Aerospace & Satellite team. In this role, you will serve as a trusted advisor to commercial space, satellite, and aerospace companies navigating their cloud adoption and AI transformation journey — helping them translate ambitious space missions into measurable business outcomes through modern cloud solutions.

Amazon Web Services (AWS) is seeking a Senior Customer Solutions Manager (CSM) to come join our Worldwide Public Sector team to help customers realize sustained business value by accelerating their cloud transformation journey.

As a CSM in the AWS Worldwide Public Sector (WWPS) Aerospace & Satellite division, you will guide customers through multi-year cloud adoption, migration, modernization, and AI transformation initiatives. You will work backwards from customer goals — whether that's deploying agentic AI workflows to automate satellite anomaly resolution, building generative AI-powered ground system operations assistants, modernizing telemetry and command platforms to fuel AI/ML insights, or accelerating launch readiness with intelligent automation — and drive execution across AWS teams to deliver results.

We help aerospace and satellite companies understand best practices around adopting cloud-based solutions, migrating existing ground systems and mission-critical workloads, implementing AI/ML capabilities for space data processing, and building organizational cloud and AI fluency. The opportunity to guide space companies through the AI revolution — from foundational data readiness to deploying agentic systems that autonomously execute complex satellite operations workflows — is unprecedented. At AWS we value critical thinking, self-motivation, and the ability to deal with ambiguity. We love people who innovate, use data to make decisions, and can express themselves thoughtfully.

This position requires 25% - 40% travel dependent on geo and time of year.

This position requires that the candidate selected be a US Citizen and obtain and maintain an active TS/SCI security clearance.

Accelerate Value: Identify opportunities for large-scale migrations, data & analytics, generative AI, agentic AI, and modernization that advance space missions and operational efficiency — from intelligent satellite imagery processing to autonomous ground system operations agents

Enable & Govern: Design education programs, AI readiness assessments, governance frameworks, and executive briefing sessions that prepare aerospace customers for responsible AI adoption, successful cloud transformation, and long-term operational excellence

Advocate & Coach: Serve as the customer's cloud coach and their voice within AWS, communicating customer needs to AWS leadership, product, and engineering teams — including AWS Ground Station and aerospace-specific service teams • Collaborate & Coordinate: Act as the connective tissue between account managers, solutions architects, technical account managers, and professional services — ensuring all teams execute cohesively against customer cloud strategy

Build & Scale: Contribute to the CSM function by developing scalable mechanisms, AI-powered automation strategies, and best practices that accelerate customer adoption across the aerospace & satellite segment — including agentic frameworks that can be replicated across space operators and launch providers

• A day in the life
• A day in the life As a CSM on the AWS Aerospace & Satellite team, you' are the customer trusted advisor, and will serve as the central connector between our space industry customers and AWS teams, ensuring everyone moves in sync toward shared goals. Your day might include facilitating strategy sessions with customer leadership to align their AI and cloud adoption roadmap with mission objectives, coordinating between Sales, Support, Solutions Architecture, and AI/ML specialist teams to remove blockers, and tracking progress against key milestones. You'll develop comprehensive enablement plans that prepare organizations for generative AI adoption and successful workload migrations — such as transitioning on-premises ground segment infrastructure to the cloud — lead executive briefing sessions that showcase how agentic AI and AWS capabilities serve aerospace use cases — such as autonomous satellite health monitoring, AI-driven orbital maneuver planning, intelligent Earth observation data pipelines, or generative AI copilots for mission operations — and manage go-live events that mark critical transitions. Beyond these structured activities, you'll identify emerging customer challenges and proactively develop innovative AI-first solutions that address the unique needs of aerospace and satellite organizations, helping them move from AI curiosity to production-grade agentic systems.
