Amazon Sr Controls Systems Engineer Mechatronics 

United States, Massachusetts 

27368419

The primary role of the Sr. Controls Engineer is to execute advanced motion control systems design and programing that enable Amazon’s scaled packaging platforms (designs) to meet or exceed our external customers’ expectations for the products that they buy yet works flawlessly through the internal supply chain delivering the lowest total cost and highest level of sustainability. To achieve this goal, the Controls Engineer will have deep knowledge of advanced motion control systems, system architecture integration across HMI, PLC, Motion Control and the incorporation subsystems critical to the design requirements including but not limited to safety systems, adhesive application, labeling, date coding and vision systems. Also core to the role is the programing of these subsystems (HMI, PLC, Motion, Safety, ancillary systems) required for the machinery and automation to deliver against the design requirements. At the core, the controls engineer will execute platform specific control systems design, integration and programing at the project / platform level of Amazon’s packaging machinery and automation resulting in the improvement of the sustainability and total cost position of our packaging. Overall, the Controls System Development Engineer is responsible for programming, technical writing tasks, electrical schematic interpretation to IO lists, parts BOM creation, full system development, scaling system design (operational performance & scalability), networking, OS configuration, operational excellence, as well as performing in depth root cause analysis of current automation systems.Key job responsibilities
