Job Overview

Amazon Robotics is seeking a skilled Test Engineer to join our hardware test engineering team. As a key member of our team, you will work closely with program teams and development engineering to create test strategies that inform development and verify requirements.

This role is ideal for test engineers with a mechanical engineering foundation or mechanical engineers who want to work hands-on in the labs with the newest products developed at Amazon Robotics.

You will need a strong basis in mechanical engineering, but be ready to work in mechatronics, robotics, fixture design and development, and test strategy.

In this role, we are looking for an engineer who can tackle tasks at hand but also look around the corner to help prepare the team for what's coming next.

Key Responsibilities

  • Improve existing test methodologies, create new techniques, and develop new fixtures and equipment.
  • Ensure that our development teams are delivering safe, high-quality, and robust solutions on time to improve the Amazon fulfillment network.
A Day in the Life

You will work daily with our development team throughout the development cycle, providing data to inform design decisions and ultimately verifying that all product requirements are met.

This happens at your computer writing test plans, in the labs gathering data, designing and building new fixtures, helping to debug early prototypes, developing new methodologies, and looking into the future.

This role requires adaptability as you work in an ever-evolving environment.

Benefits
  • Medical, Dental, and Vision Coverage
  • Maternity and Parental Leave Options
  • Paid Time Off (PTO)
  • 401(k) Plan

Amazon offers a full range of benefits for you and eligible family members, including domestic partners and their children.

  • Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering
  • Experience working in new technology or product development
  • Experience in 3D CAD (SolidWorks preferred)
  • Design experience of simple parts, assemblies, and fixtures
  • Excellent verbal and written communication skills
  • Experience with Electro-Mechanical systems
  • Ability and desire to work hands-on in lab environments
Preferred Qualifications
  • Experience with the project management of technical projects
  • Experience designing and planning test conditions, test scripts, and test data sets to ensure appropriate and adequate coverage and control
  • Deep hands-on technical expertise in testing of electro-mechanical systems
  • Experience writing test reports analyzing data
  • Experience in automation or robotic systems
