Job description

As a Member of Technical Staff - Electronics Engineer on Amazon's Frontier AI & Robotics team, you will design and test motor drive electronics for robotic actuators. This role involves working on printed circuit board designs that are integral to next-generation robotic systems. You will collaborate with firmware and mechanical engineers to ensure the electronics meet the real-time control requirements of robotic actuation. The team focuses on developing advanced AI models that enable robots to perform various tasks in warehouse automation.

Requirements

  • Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Power Electronics, or a closely related technical field
  • 5+ years of professional experience in power electronics design
  • Expertise in inverter and motor drive circuit design
  • Experience with current sensing circuit design and PCB-level integration
  • Proficiency with electronics design tools including schematic capture and PCB layout
  • Hands-on experience with power electronics lab characterization
  • Experience designing motor drive electronics for robotic actuators or high-performance electromechanical systems
  • Familiarity with wide-bandgap semiconductor devices
  • Experience with integrated gate driver ICs and isolated power supply design
  • Knowledge of EMC design practices for motor drive electronics

Responsibilities

  • Conceptualize, design, and validate motor drive electronics for robotic actuators
  • Lead PCB-level design of compact, high-power-density motor drive boards
  • Characterize and optimize inverter switching performance and thermal behavior
  • Define and implement current sensing architectures and position/velocity sensing interfaces
  • Partner with firmware engineers to define hardware-software interfaces for motor drive control
  • Collaborate with motor design and mechanical engineers to specify electrical characteristics of motors
  • Lead hardware bring-up, functional testing, and failure analysis for new actuator electronics prototypes
  • Define electronics design standards and mentor junior engineers in best practices

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.
