Key job responsibilities
As a Mechanical Engineer for Amazon Mechatronics and Sustainable Packaging team, you will work in an interdisciplinary team to develop, design, prototype, and test innovative automation solutions for Amazon’s fulfillment network. You will own key aspects of the architecture of complex and integrated electro-mechanical systems from concept to production and deployment. You will drive the technical details and pragmatic feasibility of mechatronic systems that integrate mechanical, electrical, and software components. You will work closely with cross-functional teams, both internal and external, to deliver reliable and scalable systems.A day in the life
As a Mechanical Engineer, you will:
• Lead the design and integration of mechatronics systems, considering mechanical, electrical, and software components.
• Build, test and validate prototypes to prove path to viable, manufacturable and scalable solutions.
• Design electro-mechanical components, create detailed designs in CAD, generate drawings and release documentation for manufacturing through a PLM software
• Collaborate with program and engineering disciplines to ensure seamless integration with existing systems.
• Use your experience in mechatronics or robotics to improve the overall system efficiencies and performance
• Your design and implementation decisions demonstrate mechanical engineering best practices
• Independently create proof-of-concepts that include mechanical, electrical and software components
• Work with the Safety, Regulatory, Operations, Manufacturing, Supply Chain, Quality teams as well as outside partners to ensure smooth product launches
• Travel domestically and internationally to troubleshoot your designs in early field applications.Bellevue, WA, USA
