Senior Factory Manufacturing Engineer – Process & Yield

Amazon; Redmond (WA); On-site; USD 137,000 - 186,000; Full time

Job summary

Amazon Kuiper Manufacturing Enterprises LLC is seeking a Senior Manufacturing Engineer (Factory Operations) to apply deep manufacturing engineering expertise to internal production environments in Redmond, WA. You will act as an embedded technical problem-solver across build, test, and integration, driving improvements in yield, throughput, and producibility.

The role requires leading structured problem solving (DMAIC, DOE), collaborating with cross-functional teams, and owning production

Qualifications

• 5+ years of manufacturing, process, industrial engineering experience.
• 5+ years of industrial engineer, operations engineer, manufacturing engineer, or project engineer in a manufacturing environment experience.
• Demonstrated experience leading structured problem-solving (DMAIC, 8D, A3, or equivalent) from problem definition through sustained corrective action
• Hands-on experience with GD&T, tolerance analysis, and engineering drawing interpretation in a production or supplier-facing context

Responsibilities

• Independently identify production problems through data analysis and cross-functional dialogue; lead structured investigations from scope to corrective action.
• Analyze and optimize internal manufacturing and assembly processes to improve yield, throughput, and quality across multiple product lines.
• Hold PLM release authority to author, revise, and release engineering drawings and specifications where changes resolve production-surfaced design conflicts or improve producibility.
• Coordinate with suppliers on incoming material issues affecting the build, translating factory-floor observations into actionable technical feedback.
• Leverage production data systems (MES, ERP, test databases) to characterize problems, validate hypotheses, frame issues in terms of cost/throughput/capacity impact, and measure improvement effectiveness.
• Provide manufacturing readiness assessments for new product introductions and rate transitions, evaluating process feasibility, tooling needs, and risk.
• Serve as the escalation point for production teams needing deeper technical investigation, taking ownership of cross-discipline problems without a clear single owner and driving resolution.
• Present findings and recommendations to director-level stakeholders with clear problem framing, proposed path, and required support
