Process Engineer, Robotics Manufacturing and Technical Operations (RMTO) Process Engineering
Are you inspired by invention? Is problem solving through teamwork in your DNA? We apply advances in robotics and software to solve real-world problems that delight our customers' experiences in ways we can't even imagine yet.
Amazon Robotics (AR) is located in the greater Boston area, the epicenter of robotics innovation. Our diverse team of engineers come from all over the world to design, test and build our dynamic fleet of robots and mechatronic systems. Having our offices, labs, test floors and factories all co-located means that we can design the hardware, write the code, test, build and watch it all come to life. This allows us to innovate quickly and on limitless ideas. Current advancements are underway in robotic movement and mobility, artificial intelligence and machine learning, manipulation, simulation, robotic management software, predictive data, and much more.
The Robotics Manufacturing and Technical Operations (RMTO) organization builds and scales the production systems that bring Amazon's robotic fleet to life. We operate across multiple manufacturing sites, working cross-functionally with engineering, supply chain, and operations teams globally to deliver high-quality robotic systems at the pace innovation demands.
The Process Engineer will be responsible for the development, installation, validation, and optimization of complex manufacturing processes and systems used to produce robotics. This role collaborates cross-functionally within Operations and cross-geographically to define process requirements, procure and validate equipment, and drive optimization and cost-reduction initiatives. The Process Engineer will be expected to clearly communicate project status, risks, and change control to senior management.
Key job responsibilities
- Develop and validate manufacturing processes to meet product technical requirements for New Product Introduction (NPI) programs from prototype through production release.
- Drive process optimization and cost reduction initiatives across scaling production lines.
- Author business cases and operational planning documents for capital equipment and plant infrastructure investments.
- Develop and implement technology and tooling improvements that deliver measurable impact to Safety, Quality, and Cost targets.
- Conduct process reviews including Failure Mode, Risk, and Hazard assessments to ensure production readiness.
- Travel approximately 25% to support project scoping and cross-site collaboration.
A day in the life
Amazon offers a full range of benefits that support you and eligible family members, including domestic partners and their children. Benefits can vary by location, the number of regularly scheduled hours you work, length of employment, and job status such as seasonal or temporary employment. The benefits that generally apply to regular, full-time employees include:
1. Medical, Dental, and Vision Coverage
2. Maternity and Parental Leave Options
3. Paid Time Off (PTO)
4. 401(k) Plan
If you are not sure that every qualification on the list above describes you exactly, we'd still love to hear from you! At Amazon, we value people with unique backgrounds, experiences, and skillsets. If you’re passionate about this role and want to make an impact on a global scale, please apply!
About the team
The Process Engineering Team partners with new product design teams to develop assembly sequences, provide design for assembly feedback, and author work instructions. We lead the identification, acquisition, and validation of tools, fixtures, and equipment for NPI and other programs within our AR factories, and prepare the facility infrastructure to support production. The team also leads technical assessments for internally assembled products, evaluating and implementing new technical skills, capabilities, and infrastructure to meet future needs.
