ProcessSimulationEngineer

Tech Transformation is building a new capability to evaluate the deployability of Amazon Robotics products virtually — before the first physical prototype is built. This role is the founding engineer for that capability. You will use Tecnomatix Process Simulate to build physics-based simulations of field installation processes: modeling rigid body kinematics to validate assembly sequences, analyzing force and load distributions during lifting and rigging operations, and verifying that mechanical interfaces achieve required fits under real-world tolerance conditions. Your work will directly influence hardware design decisions by providing data-driven feedback on spatial fit, tool accessibility, assembly feasibility, and ergonomics — shifting deployment engineering from reactive to proactive. Key job responsibilities - Build and execute assembly simulations of robotic workcells using Tecnomatix Process Simulate to evaluate installation sequences, tool clearance, material movement paths, and assembly feasibility - Develop scalable simulation workflows and templates for DfD reviews across multiple product programs - Review hardware CAD models against deployment requirements, providing actionable DfD feedback at Prototype and Alpha phases - Build and maintain a 3D library of common deployment tools (alignment tools, impact drills, rigging equipment, forklifts) with spatial operating envelopes for automated accessibility analysis - Collaborate with Reality Capture engineers to integrate building envelope data (VRC dimensions, MHE clearance, floor flatness, column positions) into deployment simulations - Support Dimensional Variation Analysis (DVA) efforts by providing simulation inputs and collaborating with the systems engineering team on tolerance chain modeling - Partner with Hardware, Tech Deploy, and Manufacturing teams to establish DfD as a core accountability within TfX - Design and execute field experiments to characterize construction tolerances (floor flatness,
