Job description

Amazon is seeking a talented and motivated Senior Mechanical Engineer to drive the design, development, and launch of novel robotics hardware. The role focuses on developing advanced robotics systems that integrate AI and sophisticated control systems to create adaptable automation solutions. The ideal candidate will work closely with multidisciplinary teams to push the boundaries of robotic manipulation and human-robot interaction. This position offers a unique opportunity to shape the future of robotics at Amazon's scale.

Requirements

  • BS degree in mechanical engineering or equivalent
  • 5+ years of professional experience in mechanical design and product development of complex electromechanical systems
  • Strong proficiency in 3D CAD (SolidWorks, CREO, or equivalent) with demonstrated ability to manage large assemblies
  • Experience with DFM/DFA, tolerance analysis, and GD&T (ASME Y14.5)
  • Experience managing vendor/supplier relationships for precision machined or injection-molded components
  • Master's degree in electrical engineering, computer engineering, or equivalent is a plus

Responsibilities

  • Define mechanical requirements and allocate them to components while performing trade studies to select architectures
  • Collaborate closely with electrical, firmware, and controls engineers on electromechanical integration, cable routing, and thermal management
  • Lead CAD design, tolerance stack-ups, FEA, and design reviews
  • Build and test electromechanical subsystem prototypes and integrated systems
  • Support product releases to manufacturing and customer deployments
  • Coordinate with external partners on statements of work, design reviews, and deliverable tracking
  • Drive DFM/DFA and work with contract manufacturers and vendors to bring designs from prototype to low-rate production
  • Develop functional specifications, design verification plans, and functional test procedures

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.
