Senior Manufacturing Engineer, Amazon Industrial Robotics

Senior Manufacturing Engineer, Amazon Industrial RoboticsJob ID: ******* | Amazon.com Services LLCAmazon Industrial Robotics is seeking exceptional talent to help bridge the gap between design and manufacturing for our next generation of advanced robotics systems.We're building revolutionary manufacturing processes that enable the production of cutting-edge robotic systems at Amazon's scale.In this role, you will design and optimize end-to-end motor manufacturing processes, from lamination stacking through final motor integration.You'll develop innovative solutions for gearbox assembly, stator winding, rotor manufacturing, and complete motor integration, working hands-on with our design teams to transform ambitious motor designs into manufacturable products at scale.This is a unique opportunity to pioneer vertically integrated motor manufacturing methods at an unprecedented scale, working with world-class teams to build the production systems that will bring next-generation robotic actuators to life.If you're passionate about creating the motor manufacturing processes of tomorrow rather than just optimizing those of today, this role offers the chance to make a lasting impact on the future of automation.Key Responsibilities- Design and implement manufacturing processes for complete motor assemblies including gearboxes, stators, rotors, and final integration- Develop stator lamination stacking processes including tooling design, stack bonding methods, and quality control procedures- Create and optimize stator winding processes for both automated and semi-automated production environments- Design rotor manufacturing and assembly processes including shaft integration, magnet placement, and balancing procedures- Develop gearbox assembly processes including gear manufacturing, housing integration, and lubrication systems- Provide Design for Manufacturing (DFM) and Design for Assembly (DFA) feedback to motor design teams to optimize producibility- Establish process controls and quality systems for critical motor parameters including stack height tolerances, winding resistance, air gap measurements, and dynamic balancing- Develop flexible manufacturing concepts that support motor design iteration and accommodate variable material quality- Assess, onboard and monitor motor component suppliers (laminations, magnets, windings, gears) with respect to quality and delivery performance- Create process documentation, manufacturing instructions, work instructions, and equipment specifications for motor production lines- Specify or develop data collection and dashboarding models for real-time motor manufacturing quality monitoring- Collaborate with hardware engineering teams to transition motor designs from prototype development into volume production- Identify and resolve mechanical, electrical, and assembly issues in motor production environments- Optimize manufacturing processes to maximize motor performance consistency and minimize cost- Work with cross-functional teams to ensure smooth product launches and production ramp-up for new motor variantsBenefits- Medical, Dental, and Vision Coverage- Maternity and Parental Leave Options- Paid Time Off (PTO)- 401(k) PlanBasic Qualifications- Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, or an equivalent field- Experience collaborating and influencing multiple teams across multiple organizations- Experience writing technical documents, project plans and progress reports to leadership and to stakeholders- Experience working in an Agile environment- Experience in motor manufacturing or electro-mechanical assembly processes- Knowledge of motor design principles including electromagnetic theory, stator/rotor construction, and gearbox mechanics- Experience in prototyping and production tooling development- Experience leading the detailed design of manufacturing processes for complex electro-mechanical systems- Thorough understanding and use of principles, theories and concepts in manufacturing engineering and ability to apply them to motor production- Experience with full lifecycle development- Experience evaluating design, performance and logistical tradeoffs for motor manufacturing systemsPreferred Qualifications- Master's degree in mechanical engineering or equivalent- Experience embedding design within product teams for agile design and development collaboration- Knowledge of Lean Manufacturing- Experience in high-volume motor manufacturing environments including lamination processing, winding operations, and final assembly- Experience with stator lamination stacking methods (bonding, welding, interlocking)- Experience with automated or semi-automated winding equipment and processes- Experience with rotor manufacturing including magnet insertion, shaft press-fitting, and dynamic balancing- Experience with gearbox design, gear manufacturing processes, and assembly methods- Proficiency in Design for Manufacturing and Assembly (DFMA/DFX) principles- Experience in taking a motor design from conception through engineering design and into high-volume production- Knowledge of motor testing methods including back-EMF testing, cogging torque measurement, and performance characterization- Experience with precision manufacturing processes and tight tolerance control (±0.05mm or better)- Experience with supplier management and quality systems for motor componentsAmazon is an equal-opportunity employer and does not discriminate on the basis of protected
