About the Team
Our Hardware Development Engineering team operates in a highly collaborative, multi-disciplinary environment. We work alongside software engineers, controls engineers, data scientists, reliability engineers, and operations teams to design, prototype, and develop packaging automation systems. Our focus spans the entire product development lifecycle—from early concept generation and design down-selection through continuous improvement of deployed systems across hundreds of fulfillment centers in North America and Europe.
What sets our team apart is our hands-on approach to solving complex technical challenges. We design and build custom mechanisms, develop novel automation solutions, and create robust mechanical and electromechanical systems. We work directly in lab environments and fulfillment centers to bring our designs from prototype to production at scale. Our contributions directly impact Amazon's sustainability goals, operational efficiency, and the customer experience for millions of packages shipped daily.
About the Role
The Mechanical Engineer is the technical owner responsible for the refinement and execution of automated packaging platforms and supporting systems. In this role, you will enable faster and more efficient delivery to Amazon's customers by designing and manufacturing in-house packaging machinery and automation. You will collaborate closely with Electrical and Controls teams to execute projects that optimize for customer experience, supply chain efficiency, and sustainability. Your work ensures that all systems meet rigorous customer experience, safety, regulatory, and business requirements before deployment.
