Job summary

Amazon Robotics in Massachusetts seeks a Sr. Manufacturing Engineer to lead advanced CAD modeling and 2D drafting efforts for complex robotic systems.

You will drive producibility, GD&T, and DFMEA across a global supply chain, guiding ECOs and supplier qualifications. As a senior member of the Advanced Manufacturing Engineering team, you’ll mentor engineers, analyze root causes with structured methods, and push design improvements to scale production.

Qualifications

• 4+ years of mechanical engineering or equivalent experience.
• Experience with prototyping and implementation.

Responsibilities

• Create, review, and redline complex 3D parametric models and 2D production drawings to ensure manufacturability, proper tolerancing, and compliance with GD&T standards.
• Provide Design for Excellence (DfX) guidance on electromechanical designs at concept and detailed design phases.
• Develop detailed manufacturing‑intent drawings and model‑based definitions (MBD) to communicate critical‑to‑quality features to suppliers.
• Guide manufacturing tolerances using GD&T; perform tolerance stack‑up analyses using 3D models to identify interference and assembly risks.
• Launch tooling with accelerated schedules; assess project risk and drive mitigation plans using model‑based simulations.
• Review external production processes; identify risk, and mitigate using 2D drafting deliverables to define supplier requirements.
• Qualify production processes based on dimensional data, control plans, and process capability (Cpk) requirements.
• Drive PFMEA and DFMEA reviews referencing model geometry and drawing specifications.
• Resolve technical problems across mechanical and electrical commodities.
• Guide MRAs for NPI programs through production ramp.
• Approve ECOs across commodities, assessing manufacturing, supply chain, and cost impacts.
• Analyze production, supplier, and field failures for root cause using 8D, 5-Why, Fishbone.
• Mentor team on producibility, drafting standards, and modeling techniques.
• Propose design changes to enhance sustainability and scalability with updated models and drawings.
• Oversee SPC implementation at suppliers; conduct Gauge R&R and process capability studies.
• Up to 30% travel required.
