Job summary

Amazon.com Services LLC is seeking a Sr. Manufacturing Engineer for the Advanced Manufacturing Engineering team in Westborough, MA, focusing on advanced CAD modeling, 2D drafting, and DfX to transition complex robotic solutions from design to production.

The role requires expert CAD proficiency, cross-functional collaboration with Hardware Engineering, Supply Chain, Quality, and Program Management, and up to 30% travel.

Qualifications

• 4+ years of working in mechanical engineering or equivalent experience.
• Experience with prototyping and implementation.
• Knowledge of SolidWorks simulation or Ansys Finite Element analysis tools.
• Experience in the design of complex mechanical products and equipment at volume.

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 and feedback on electromechanical designs at concept and detailed design phases, leveraging modeling expertise to validate design intent.
• Develop detailed manufacturing-intent drawings and model-based definitions (MBD) to communicate critical-to-quality features to suppliers.
• Guide best practices on 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 clearly define supplier requirements.
• Qualify production processes based on dimensional data, control plans, and process capability (Cpk) requirements.
• Drive internal and external PFMEA and DFMEA reviews, referencing model geometry and drawing specifications.
• Solve technical problems across a broad set of manufacturing commodities (mechanical and electrical).
• Guide manufacturing readiness assessments (MRL) for NPI programs through production ramp.
• Evaluate and approve Engineering Change Orders (ECOs) across mechanical and electrical commodities, assessing manufacturing, supply chain, and cost impacts — authoring or revising drawings and models as needed.
• Evaluate production, supplier, and field failures for root cause analysis and resolution using 8D, 5-Why, and Fishbone methodologies.
• Mentor team members and design engineers on producibility best practices, drafting standards, and modeling techniques.
• Propose design changes that will enhance product sustainability and scalability, producing updated models and drawings to support implementation.
• Shepherd Statistical Process Control (SPC) implementation at suppliers; conduct Gauge R&R and process capability studies.
