Job description

Please note that this posting is for a contract assignment and is not a full-time employment opportunity with Amazon. Candidates selected for roles will be employed as contract workers through Amazon’s approved 3rd party Direct Source provider for the duration of the specified project and will not be an employee of Amazon.

The Boston Development Center is our rapid prototyping and low-rate production facility where we take products from early prototype through pre-production builds, accelerating development through fast iteration and hands‑on validation.

We are seeking skilled Electromechanical Build Technicians to execute build campaigns for products under development. In this role, you will assemble products, performing mechanical and electrical integration, preparing assemblies for end‑of‑line testing, and collaborating closely with design and manufacturing engineers. This is a hands‑on role for builders who take pride in craftsmanship and thrive in a fast‑paced environment where designs evolve rapidly.

Key Responsibilities:

Build Campaign Execution

• Execute build campaigns for subassemblies and full system integration across multiple products.
• Perform mechanical and electrical assemblies
• Complete final integration of subassemblies into full systems.
• Interpret engineering drawings, 3D CAD models, wiring schematics, and assembly work instructions to build products to design intent
• Support the varying development builds and maintain quality and throughput targets
• Track build progress against production schedule, flag parts shortages or design issues, and communicate status to production leadership

Testing & Quality

• Prepare assemblies and subassemblies for end‑of‑line (EoL) functional testing and performance characterization
• Prepare completed robot assemblies for system‑level testing and safety validation
• Perform in‑process quality inspections during assembly: verify fit, alignment, torque specifications, electrical continuity, and connector seating
• Conduct dimensional checks using hand tools (calipers, micrometers, height gauges, go/no‑go gauges, torque wrenches)
• Document build deviations, non‑conformances, and quality incidents per established procedures
• Support firmware and software integration by verifying hardware readiness and cable/connector integrity prior to software loading
• Collaborate directly with mechanical, electrical, and systems engineers throughout the build process
• Provide design‑for‑assembly (DFA) feedback to engineering, identifying opportunities to simplify builds, reduce cycle time, or improve reliability
• Work with production planners and material handlers to ensure parts kitting and staging support build schedules
• Contribute to the development and refinement of assembly work instructions, process documentation, and standard operating procedures
• Maintain organized workstations, tools, and build areas following 5S principles
• Support multiple concurrent build programs as product lines evolve
• Participate in build readiness reviews and after‑action reviews to capture lessons learned

Basic Qualifications:

• High school diploma or equivalent
• 3+ years of hands‑on experience in mechanical and/or electrical assembly of prototype or low‑volume hardware products
• Experience with precision mechanical & Electrical assembly
• Familiarity with common assembly tools: torque wrenches (calibrated), crimpers, soldering irons, hand tools, power tools, pneumatic tools
• Ability to work in an engineering and production environment with build rate targets and quality standards
• Ability to lift up to 50 lbs and stand for extended periods

Preferred Qualifications:

• Associate degree or technical certification in electromechanical technology, mechatronics, robotics, or related field
• Proficiency reading and interpreting mechanical drawings, wiring diagrams, and 3D CAD models
• 5+ years of experience in robotics, aerospace, automotive, or consumer electronics prototyping/pre‑production environments
• Experience assembling actuator systems: motors, gearboxes, encoders, brakes, and related drive components
• Experience assembling articulated multi‑axis robotic systems or similar complex electromechanical products
• Familiarity with GD&T and basic metrology tools; CMM or 3D scanner experience a plus
• Experience working in low‑rate initial production (LRIP) environments with ramp‑up targets
• Track record of working collaboratively with cross‑functional engineering teams in a fast‑paced development environment
