  • Expertise in robotic actuators, including motors, mechanical transmissions, bearings, encoders, and lubrication
  • Hands-on experience building prototypes and debugging subsystems
  • Proficiency with Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) software and Engineering Change Orders (ECOs)
  • Experience designing and debugging tooled components such as sheet metal, cast, and injection molded parts

Responsibilities

  • Author functional requirements, design verification plans, and test procedures
  • Execute product designs that meet specified requirements
  • Build and test electromechanical subsystem prototypes and integrated systems
  • Support product releases to manufacturing and customer deployments
  • Work efficiently to support rapid schedules
  • Collaborate with Electrical and Controls engineers to execute product design from concept to production
  • Document designs in accordance with ANSI Y-14.5

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.
