The Sustaining Test Development Engineer role at Amazon Robotics focuses on developing and improving manufacturing test systems for electro-mechanical sub-assemblies. The team is dedicated to enhancing the production lines across internal factories and contract manufacturing sites. This position requires a creative and detail-oriented engineer with experience in sustaining automated test systems in a high-volume manufacturing environment. The role involves troubleshooting, optimizing test solutions, and driving continuous improvement initiatives.

• Bachelor's degree or foreign equivalent in robotics, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, or a related field
• 3+ years of professional experience in manufacturing test engineering, automated test development, or sustaining test support within a production environment
• Proven experience developing, debugging, or maintaining automated test systems using frameworks such as NI TestStand, LabVIEW, or equivalent
• Strong background in troubleshooting electro-mechanical assemblies, including the ability to read and debug electrical schematics and interpret mechanical engineering drawings
• Demonstrated experience performing root cause analysis (RCA) and driving corrective actions

• Provide sustaining engineering and troubleshooting for manufacturing test systems across internal factory and contract manufacturing sites to maximize Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) and minimize downtime
• Design, develop, and validate automated test sequences and custom test fixtures for electro-mechanical sub-assemblies
• Define test strategies, evaluate product testability, and establish strict acceptance criteria to deliver robust test solutions
• Own and resolve escalated test-floor incidents, serving as the technical point of contact and participating in on-call rotations
• Maintain, debug, and optimize automated test sequences utilizing standard frameworks for assigned product lines
• Analyze product yield, coverage, and reliability metrics to identify failure trends, driving Root Cause and Corrective Action
• Drive continuous improvement initiatives to enhance test processes, reduce false reject rates, and optimize test coverage
• Execute test script updates, instrument calibrations, and fixture deployments or retrofits with minimal supervision
• Document and maintain standard operating procedures, test specifications, preventive maintenance plans, and troubleshooting guides
• Propose engineering change orders to improve product manufacturability and testability
• Mentor junior engineers, test technicians, and peers on best practices in test automation and fault isolation
• Promote a safe working environment by strictly adhering to all facility and equipment safety procedures
• Travel up to 30% to support global manufacturing sites
