About this role
Amazon is seeking a Senior Mechanical Engineer / Electro-Mechanical Engineer to design, integrate, and launch robotic end effectors. The role centers on actuator design and integration, authoring verification artifacts, building prototypes, and debugging subsystems while collaborating across disciplines.
Key Responsibilities
- Author functional requirements, design verification plans and test procedures
- Execute product designs which meet the requirements
- Build and test electromechanical subsystem prototypes and integrated systems
- Support product releases to manufacturing and customer deployments
- Work efficiently to support rapid schedules
Technical Overview
The technical scope includes developing functional specifications, design verification plans, and functional test procedures, then executing product designs that satisfy those requirements. The engineer will build and test electromechanical subsystem prototypes and integrated systems, using SolidWorks CAD and deep knowledge of actuator components, efficiency, inertia, compliance, and life estimation, with documentation practices aligned to ANSI Y-14.5.
Ideal Candidate
The ideal candidate is a senior electro-mechanical/mechanical engineer with 10+ years of experience designing and integrating actuators into robotics systems. They are highly proficient with SolidWorks CAD, authoring functional requirements, design verification plans, and test procedures, and they have hands-on prototype building and subsystem debugging experience.
