Manufacturing Engineer, Assembly
Job Description
Amazon is seeking a Manufacturing Engineer to support the concept, design, build, and scaling of assembly operations. This is a hands-on individual contributor role — you'll be developing assembly processes, supporting equipment bring-up, and helping to scale best practices. The ideal candidate brings 5+ years of experience in high-volume assembly environments, with solid skills in process engineering and a desire to grow into equipment deployment and production system design. You should be energized by ambiguity, comfortable iterating quickly, and motivated by the opportunity. This role requires solid technical execution, collaboration across disciplines, and the willingness to roll up your sleeves in a dynamic environment where the next problem is never the same as the last one. Key job responsibilities - Work closely with product design teams to provide DFM/DFA feedback, advocate for producible assembly processes, and iterate rapidly — especially as the product design itself is still evolving. - Develop and prove out assembly methods — joining, fastening, adhesive bonding, press-fits, for complex electromechanical products. - Support PFMEA development and contribute process knowledge upstream in product development. - Support manufacturing line concept, design, requirements, sizing/balancing/timing, material flow, equipment specification, and commissioning. - Contribute to line requirements including layout, work content, cycle times, rates, and headcount. - Support design of new assembly equipment and fixturing; assist with equipment specifications, vendor RFQ, selection, FAT, and deployment. - Coordinate with equipment OEMs, tooling suppliers, and automation integrators as directed. - Support end-to-end project execution - Support production readiness, including safety, quality, throughput, and scrap reduction. - Identify opportunities to reduce non-value-add operations and drive improvements from one build iteration to the next. - Develop and document assembly processes, work instructions, and control plans. - Apply Lean Manufacturing and data-driven problem-solving to drive continuous improvement.
