Are you inspired by invention? Is problem solving through teamwork in your DNA? We apply advances in robotics and software to solve real-world problems that delight our customers' experiences in ways we can't even imagine yet.
Amazon Robotics (AR) is located in the greater Boston area, the epicenter of robotics innovation. Our diverse team of engineers come from all over the world to design, test and build our dynamic fleet of robots and mechatronic systems. Having our offices, labs, test floors and factories all co-located means that we can design the hardware, write the code, test, build and watch it all come to life. This allows us to innovate quickly and on limitless ideas. Current advancements are underway in robotic movement and mobility, artificial intelligence and machine learning, manipulation, simulation, robotic management software, predictive data, and much more.
The Robotics Manufacturing and Technical Operations (RMTO) organization builds and scales the production systems that bring Amazon's robotic fleet to life. We operate across multiple manufacturing sites, working cross-functionally with engineering, supply chain, and operations teams globally to deliver high-quality robotic systems at the pace innovation demands.
The Process Engineer will be responsible for the development, installation, validation, and optimization of complex manufacturing processes and systems used to produce robotics. This role collaborates cross-functionally within Operations and cross-geographically to define process requirements, procure and validate equipment, and drive optimization and cost-reduction initiatives. The Process Engineer will be expected to clearly communicate project status, risks, and change control to senior management.
Key job responsibilities
- Develop and validate manufacturing processes to meet product technical requirements for New Product Introduction (NPI) programs from prototype through production release.
- Drive process optimization and cost reduction initiatives across scaling production lines.
- Author business cases and operational planning documents for capital equipment and plant infrastructure investments.
- Develop and implement technology and tooling improvements that deliver measurable impact to Safety, Quality, and Cost targets.
- Conduct process reviews including Failure Mode, Risk, and Hazard assessments to ensure production readiness.
- Travel approximately 25% to support project scoping and cross-site collaboration.

About the team
The Process Engineering Team partners with new product design teams to develop assembly sequences, provide design for assembly feedback, and author work instructions. We lead the identification, acquisition, and validation of tools, fixtures, and equipment for NPI and other programs within our AR factories, and prepare the facility infrastructure to support production. The team also leads technical assessments for internally assembled products, evaluating and implementing new technical skills, capabilities, and infrastructure to meet future needs. - Bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, material science, physics or equivalent
- 1+ years of hardware design and validation of components, subsystems and systems experience
- Ability to manage and deliver projects with accelerated schedules.
- Experience and proven skill in written and verbal business communications, including writing white papers, designing organizational communications, reporting metrics.
- Experience with process analysis and optimization methods including process mapping, time studies, line balancing, or simulation tools.
- Experience in New Product Introduction environment including Phase-Gate process experience.
- Experience using industry Problem Solving Tools such as 8D, Fishbone/Cause-Effect, or CAPA methodology.
- Experience with process risk identification and mitigation tools such as PFMEA, DFMEA, or Fault Tree Analysis.
- Experience reviewing and generating product/fixture designs in SolidWorks.
