·FY 2025Job description
We are looking for a hands-on Electrical Engineer to lead the design and integration of electrical systems for high-degree-of-freedom robotic platforms. This role involves working closely with mechanical, controls, and software engineers to ensure reliable operation of complex electromechanical systems. The team, Frontier AI & Robotics, is focused on developing advanced AI models for robotics in Amazon's operations. The engineer will be responsible for the full electrical system design, including power distribution, sensing, and embedded infrastructure.
Requirements
- Bachelor's or Master's in Electrical Engineering or a related field.
- 6-10+ years of experience designing and integrating electrical systems in robotics or complex electromechanical platforms.
- Proficient in PCB design using Cadence OrCAD/Allegro or similar tools.
- Experience in embedded controls, high-speed differential signaling, and power electronics.
- Hands-on experience testing and debugging hardware using oscilloscopes and logic analyzers.
- Familiarity with high-speed data protocols such as CAN and EtherCAT.
- Understanding of thermal design and safety considerations in high-power robotic systems.
Responsibilities
- Act as the electrical system architect for power electronics and communication protocols.
- Design and integrate power distribution and embedded electronics for robotic systems.
- Own board layout of PCBAs and oversee their bring-up and validation.
- Specify and design custom power electronics and power distribution boards.
- Design and route cabling and wire harnesses across the robotic platform.
- Architect and integrate the robot's battery system, including protection circuitry.
- Define and implement wiring and electrical interfaces for sensors and compute modules.
- Lead prototyping and validation of electrical designs and test rigs.
Benefits
- Employees at Amazon are often offered comprehensive health benefits—including multiple medical plan options (no pre-existing condition exclusions, 100% covered in-network preventive care), dental and vision plans, a 24/7 medical advice line from day one, expert second-opinion services, and broad mental-health support with several free counseling sessions (including pediatric). Financial wellness typically includes a 401(k) with company match (up to 2%), Restricted Stock Units (equity), FSAs, an emergency savings program, product and partner discounts, and even college-savings and home-purchase programs. Overall, the package is designed to support employees and their families’ health, finances, and day-to-day life.
