Manager III, Hardware Development - Regulatory Compliance Lab, Amazon Robotics (AR) Regulatory Compliance Team
Posted Updated
Amazon Robotics is seeking a Manager III, Hardware Development to lead our compliance laboratory testing operations across two A2LA-accredited laboratories located at BOS12 and BOS27. This role carries dual responsibility as both the operational manager and overseeing management of the lab's independent ISO 17025 accreditation. The successful candidate will oversee certification maintenance, quality policy development, and continuous improvement while leading a team of engineers specializing in electromagnetic compatibility (EMC/EMI), radio frequency testing, and electrical product safety testing. These disciplines are critical to ensuring every Amazon Robotics product meets global regulatory requirements ahead of General Availability (GA) release.
Compliance testing is a critical-path activity for all Amazon Robotics hardware products, so this role directly influences the organization's ability to launch products on schedule. The manager partners closely with the product compliance engineering team, who define the compliance strategy, test requirements, and submit work requests to the labs. The manager and lab team execute against those requests, providing expert feedback on test standards and test methodologies.
Key job responsibilities
- Laboratory operations and accreditation. Lead day-to-day operations of two geographically separated, independently accredited ISO 17025 laboratories. Serve as Quality Manager, maintaining A2LA accreditation, developing quality policy, and driving continuous improvement so that lab results are accepted by third-party certification agencies.
- Team leadership. Manage and develop a team of engineers across EMC/EMI, RF, and electrical product safety disciplines. Assign and re-prioritize work based on business impact, and grow technical capability across both sites.
- Prioritization and capacity planning. Balance competing priorities across the Amazon Robotics product portfolio (and supporting FTR and broader Amazon business units). Make strategic decisions on resource allocation, project prioritization, and capacity planning, accommodating urgent testing requests while honoring scheduled commitments.
- Strategic capability expansion. Define problems and develop strategies in ambiguous situations that impact long-term organizational goals. Plan for new testing capabilities. Coordinate with facilities, procurement, and technical teams to execute multi-year expansion roadmaps.
- Operational excellence and metrics. Drive efficiency improvements, develop metrics systems to track laboratory performance, and implement automation solutions that reduce cycle times without adding headcount.
- Business planning and communication. Navigate budget processes, identify and justify equipment needs for capability expansion, and articulate growth opportunities, resource needs, and strategic initiatives to senior leadership.
- Cross-functional partnership. Build strong relationships with the product compliance engineering team, program management, and executive stakeholders. Serve as the labs' technical authority on test standards and methodology, communicate complex technical and regulatory concepts clearly to diverse audiences, and maintain credibility through reliable delivery.
