Full Job Description
Amazon Web Services’ Hardware Engineering team is looking for experienced professionals to help build the world’s premier cloud computing platform. Our Manufacturing Automation Design & Engineering team designs, validates, and deploys automation solutions — robotics, cobots, vision inspection, AI-powered quality systems, and automated assembly workflows — across contract manufacturer sites worldwide. About the Role: You will architect the robotic and collaborative robot cells that form the core of AWS's automation IP — from concept through production validation. These are the systems that eliminate manual assembly variability: automated fastening with 100% torque verification, precision component insertion with force-feedback and vision inspection, and multi-platform assembly cells that serve multiple product families through recipe-based changeover. You own the end-to-end cell design — robot selection, motion planning, end-of-arm tooling, safety architecture, and the replication package that allows a proven cell to deploy at any CM site globally without re-engineering. You lead external automation solution providers through design, build, and acceptance — ensuring solutions meet AWS specifications for global scalability. Our scope covers all server and rack assembly across all architectures and platforms — compute, AI/ML accelerators, storage, and networking. We design intelligent, predictive-analytics-driven production systems where every station is sensor-driven, AI-optimized, and self-correcting — turning assembly lines into programmable, data-generating platforms that scale capacity without scaling headcount.This role requires the engineer to operate in a fast-paced, multi-platform international manufacturing environment with travel to contract manufacturer sites (up to 25–30% travel anticipated). Key job responsibilities • Design robotic work cells from concept: cell layout, robot selection, tool / Fixture design, safety zone definitions • Program and optimize
