Hardware Design Engineer II, Vulcan Stow

Job description

As a Hardware Development Engineer II on the Amazon Robotics team, you will design, develop, validate, and sustain electromechanical hardware for robotic systems deployed at scale in fulfillment centers. You will own component-level design through full product lifecycle — from concept and prototyping through volume production and field support. You will work with an interdisciplinary team of mechanical, electrical, controls, software, perception and manufacturing engineers to deliver robust, cost-effective hardware that meets the demands of 24/7 fulfillment operations. This role requires a hands-on engineer who exhibits thorough engineering analysis and cradle-to-grave ownership of their designs. You will balance new product introduction (NPI) development work with keep-the-lights-on (KTLO) sustaining engineering responsibilities for fielded systems. Key job responsibilities - Product Design Development - Work with an interdisciplinary team to improve and maintain existing product designs including specification, design, prototyping, validation, and testing of electromechanical robotic components and assemblies - Design parts for volume manufacturing methods including sheet metal fabrication, injection molded plastics, high-pressure die casting, stamping, extrusion, and machining — understanding the trade-offs between each method - Apply Design for Excellence (DfX) principles throughout the design process: design for manufacturability (DFM), design for assembly (DFA), design for maintenance, design for reliability, and…
