Senior Electrical Engineer, Amazon Industrial Robotics

Job ID: 10543775 | Amazon.com Services LLC

Amazon Industrial Robotics is seeking exceptional talent to help develop the next generation of advanced robotics systems that will transform automation at Amazon's scale. We're building revolutionary robotic systems that combine cutting-edge AI, sophisticated control systems, and advanced mechanical design to create adaptable automation solutions capable of working safely alongside humans in dynamic environments. This is a unique opportunity to shape the future of robotics and automation at an unprecedented scale, working with world-class teams pushing the boundaries of what's possible in robotic manipulation, locomotion, and human-robot interaction.

Amazon is seeking a talented and motivated Senior Electrical Engineer to work on system design, implementation and release to manufacturing. The ideal candidate will have extensive experience in system design, complex analog and digital circuit design, power electronics, possess good communication skills, own a large component of a system, and lead a team of Electrical Engineers. This candidate must have the ability to work well both independently and in a team setting.

Key job responsibilities

• Working with an interdisciplinary team to execute product designs from concept to production including design, prototyping, validation, testing and certification
• Leading and supporting a technical team on multiple projects in parallel
• Coordinate all activities within the engineering discipline for the project.
• Ensure coordination with other disciplines is effective for each project.
• Thorough understanding of technical principles and concepts in Electrical Engineering

Basic Qualifications

• Experience in developing functional specifications, design verification plans and functional test procedures
• Expert in schematic entry, layout tools and design for manufacturability (familiarity with OrCAD Capture and Cadence Allegro tool flow is a plus)
• Experience designing high volume printed circuit boards with design-for-cost targets
• Experience designing complex schematics containing analog and digital electronics including boards with FPGA’s, microcontrollers or microprocessors.
• Experience with mixed signal designs
• Experience with serial communication interfaces (CAN, SPI, Ethernet, USB, etc.).
• Proficient with PSPICE for analog circuit simulation
• Demonstrated strong ability to move seamlessly between levels of abstraction – from system to the “nuts and bolts” implementation
• Extensive system design interfacing to a wide array of electro-mechanical subsystems and debugging experience
• Commitment to rigorous testing practices and design process flows

Preferred Qualifications

• Master's degree in electrical engineering, computer engineering, or equivalent
• Experience working with interdisciplinary teams to execute product design from concept to production
• Experience with the project management of technical projects
• Strong organizational and planning skills.
• Excellent written (white papers) and oral communication skills
• Ability to support domestic and international travel as required by the program
