Amazon is looking for a Senior Manufacturing Engineer to contribute to the design and scaling of assembly operations at a new prototyping facility. This hands-on role involves working closely with product design teams and developing assembly methods for complex electromechanical products. The ideal candidate will have extensive experience in high-volume assembly environments and will thrive in a dynamic, problem-solving atmosphere. The position emphasizes collaboration, technical execution, and continuous improvement through Lean Manufacturing and Six Sigma methodologies.
Requirements
- Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, Industrial Engineering, or equivalent technical discipline.
- 7+ years of direct manufacturing engineering experience in high-volume assembly environments for complex electromechanical products.
- Experience supporting commissioning, startup, and ramp-up of integrated assembly operations.
- Strong knowledge of assembly methods including mechanical joining, fastening, adhesive bonding, press-fits, human-assisted automation, and robotic assembly.
- Solid understanding of Lean Manufacturing principles and Six Sigma methodologies (Green Belt preferred).
- Ability to work effectively across cross-functional teams in fast-paced, high-ambiguity environments.
- Experience working with interdisciplinary teams to execute product design from concept to production.
- Experience with the project management of technical projects.
Responsibilities
- Partner with product design teams to incorporate DFM/DFA considerations and advocate for reliable assembly processes.
- Develop and prove out assembly methods for complex electromechanical products.
- Drive PFMEA considerations upstream in product development.
- Drive manufacturing line concept, design, requirements, sizing, balancing, timing, material flow, vendor selection, equipment specification, automation strategy, installation, and commissioning.
- Define line requirements including layout, work content, cycle times, rates, and headcount.
- Support detailed design of assembly equipment and fixturing.
- Engage with equipment OEMs, tooling suppliers, automation integrators, and key production partners.
- Drive project scope from concept through production launch.
- Drive production readiness and operational performance, including safety, quality, throughput, and scrap reduction.
- Identify opportunities to densify and reduce non-value-add operations.
- Develop and standardize assembly processes, control plans, maintenance strategies, and operational documentation.
- Apply Lean Manufacturing, Six Sigma, and data-driven problem-solving to drive continuous improvement.
- Mentor junior engineers and contribute to a culture of technical excellence, safety, and operational discipline.
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).
