·FY 2025Job 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.
