Description

The Electrical Engineer designs and supports custom PCBA to be used in automated packaging platforms.

The Electrical Engineer will work on system design, implementation and release to manufacturing. The Electrical Engineer will be responsible for integrating all electronics into the system PCBA, including safety, wireless, sensors, motor drive, and power systems. The Electrical Engineer will own the electrical architecture for the custom PCBA in a machine and help look for opportunities to bring design in house for future development. The Electrical Engineer will be involved in all phases of development and production, including triage and resolution of field issues.

Key job responsibilities

• Work with an interdisciplinary team to execute electrical system designs from concept to production including design, validation, testing and certification

• Assist other electrical engineers with design elements, simulation, testing, documentation and troubleshooting on next generation designs

• Own the electrical implementation and design of electric system

• Own developing control schemes and supporting calibration development

• Evaluate new technologies and industry trends for inclusion in future programs

A day in the life

• Work with interdisciplinary teams to architect and execute electrical designs from concept to production, including prototyping, validation, testing, and certification.

• Design of industrial electrical systems and work closely with the Mechanical and Software team.

• Write, develop and execute on functional specifications, design verification plans and test procedures.

• Support production release to manufacturing and customer deployments.

• Establish development processes to meet industry standards for functionally safe control systems (IEC 61508).

• Be a bridge between the US and EU based Electrical Engineering teams.

• Travel to development sites to support commissioning and troubleshoot field issues.

About the team

Aligning mechatronics and packaging into one organization, (Mechatronics and Sustainable Packaging, MSP) enables Amazon to develop, deploy and scale automated solutions across the Amazon Fulfillment Network, especially from Pick to SLAM for the Automated Robotics Sortable (ARS) network. This group works backwards from deep customer insights to deliver solutions that seamlessly integrate into brownfield and greenfield deployments with safety as a top priority. In addition, Sustainable Packaging solutions are a thread that impacts and connects all parts of the Amazon Stores supply chain and customer experience. They take ownership for the entire packaging experience including selling partner design, first/middle/last mile and total customer experience. They eliminate waste and packaging wherever possible. Where Amazon added packaging is required, they are transitioning from single-use plastics to curbside recyclable paper-based materials.
