The Hardware Engineer II (Mechanical) will lead the mechanical design and integration of delivery robots into Amazon's last-mile delivery ecosystem, focusing on modifications for delivery vans and station infrastructure. This role requires strong mechanical design expertise and the ability to balance various factors such as robustness and cost in a high-volume logistics environment. The engineer will work closely with teams across vehicle engineering, robotics hardware, and operations to translate operational requirements into production-ready designs. The position emphasizes safety, reliability, and efficiency in supporting robot docking and deployment systems.

• 4+ years of working in mechanical engineering or equivalent experience
• Experience with prototyping and implementation
• Knowledge of SolidWorks simulation or Ansys Finite Element analysis tools
• Experience in the design of complex mechanical products and equipment at volume

• Own the mechanical design and integration of robot-related systems within delivery vans.
• Design in-van charging solutions for robots, including mechanical interfaces and thermal considerations.
• Lead mechanical design for robot ingress/egress mechanisms that enable safe deployment and retrieval.
• Define and implement station-side infrastructure such as cart docking and robot staging.
• Translate operational and autonomy requirements into clear mechanical requirements and design constraints.
• Partner with electrical, firmware, robotics, and vehicle engineering teams for system integration.
• Drive designs through concept, prototyping, validation, and production.
• Ensure solutions meet safety, ergonomics, and regulatory requirements.
• Optimize designs for cost, manufacturability, durability, and ease of maintenance.
• Support pilot deployments and field testing, iterating designs based on real-world feedback.

• 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.
