About the role
Our Hardware Development Engineering team operates in a highly collaborative, multi-disciplinary environment working alongside software engineers, controls engineers, data scientists, reliability engineers, and operations teams. We focus on the design, prototyping, and development of packaging automation systems - from early concept through production-ready integrated systems - ensuring they meet customer experience, safety, regulatory, and business requirements before deployment. Our work spans the entire product development lifecycle - from 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, create robust mechanical and electromechanical systems, and 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.
