Job Description

Are you inspired by invention? Is problem solving through teamwork in your DNA? Do you like the idea of seeing how your work impacts the bigger picture? Answer yes to any of these and you’ll fit right in here at Amazon Robotics. We are a smart team of enthusiastic doers that work passionately to apply advances in robotics and software to solve real-world problems that will transform our customers’ experiences in ways we can’t even image yet. We invent new improvements every day. We are Amazon Robotics and we will give you the tools and support you need to invent with us in ways that are rewarding, fulfilling and fun. We are seeking a highly skilled Mechatronics Robot Analyst to join our team developing advanced robotic hardware technology. This role focuses on comprehensive performance evaluation, design validation, and optimization of robotic systems at scale. You will create detailed technical reports examining robot dynamics, kinematics, and performance characteristics to support the development and deployment of innovative automation solutions. A critical aspect of this role is producing data-informed insights for customer requirement negotiations and clarifying ambiguity in design specifications—you'll need to prioritize assessment efforts, establish what matters most, and continuously refine both the design and examination processes to improve our capability to deliver robotic systems over time. Key job responsibilities The Mechatronics Engineer will be accountable for: - Working with an interdisciplinary team to execute product designs from concept to production including specification, design, prototyping, validation and testing - Intake robotic concepts and high level requirements and create kinematic concepts based on a family of components - Capability to do some basic first-precepts examination of loads and feasibility checks - Generate URDF files - Drive dynamics evaluation using MATLAB dynamics examination tools - Interpret outputs of the assessment and feed back into further iteration on robot concepts - Be able to collaborate directly with customers to align on requirements, discuss tradeoffs, communicate concepts clearly, etc - Ability to code/script in Matlab - Exhibit role model behaviors of thorough engineering assessments and cradle to grave ownership - Design and adaptation of holistic hardware solutions for ambiguous problems with fluid requirements - Working with cross-functional teams, vendors and integrators to deliver automation solutions A day in the life Amazon offers a full range of benefits to support you and eligible family members, including domestic partners and their children. Benefits can vary by location, the number of regularly scheduled hours you work, length of employment, and job status such as seasonal or temporary employment. The benefits that generally apply to regular, full-time employees include: 1. Medical, Dental, and Vision Coverage 2. Maternity and Parental Leave Options 3. Paid Time Off (PTO) 4. 401(k) Plan If you are not sure that every qualification on the list above describes you exactly, we'd still love to hear from you!
