Job summary

Amazon Web Services (AWS) is seeking a Senior Industrialization Engineer to lead manufacturing and industrialization activities for New Product Introductions (NPI) from prototype to high‑volume production. You’ll translate design intent into scalable workflows, consult on DFx, and partner with internal teams and external suppliers to meet volume targets.

You will drive factory floor optimization, stand up CM lines, and ensure lines hit takt time, OEE, and yield goals across sites, with 30–50%

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Industrial Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or other STEM field
• 6+ years of manufacturing or manufacturing engineering experience
• Experience with Kaizen, Lean Manufacturing or Six Sigma
• 5+ years of experience managing large-scale contract manufacturer (CM) relationships
• Experience defining manufacturing procedures, standards, or process packages

Responsibilities

• Manufacturing Process Development: Develop and document the detailed manufacturing process, workstation definition, work content, line balancing, and takt time.
• Capacity & Scale Planning: Build the capacity models and scaling approach for each product, deciding how the process ramps from low-volume builds to serialized production across sites.
• Production Line Build & Ramp: Stand up production lines at contract manufacturers and lead ramp-up from low-volume builds to serialized production, maintaining presence on the factory floor until OEE targets are met.
• Tooling, Fixturing & Automation: Specify and validate tooling, fixturing, and automation/robotics appropriate to the volume and product, and confirm they perform on the line.
• Process Analysis & Optimization: Use simulation, process flow analysis, and ergonomics to identify bottlenecks and drive yield improvement, cost reduction, and throughput gains.
• CM Execution & Qualification: Partner day‑to‑day with CM engineering teams to qualify processes against defined standards and ensure consistent, repeatable output across lines and sites.
• Design‑for‑Manufacturability Feedback: Work with the product design team to flag manufacturability risks early and feed line‑level constraints back into design before high‑volume commitment.
• Issue Resolution: Lead the resolution of production issues on the floor, partnering with Quality and Reliability to separate design defects from process/line inefficiencies and restore stability
