Additional Information

Amazon is seeking exceptional talent to help develop the next generation of advanced robotics systems that will transform automation at Amazon's scale. We're building revolutionary robotic systems that combine frontier AI, sophisticated control systems, and advanced mechanical design to create adaptable automation solutions capable of working safely alongside humans in dynamic environments. This is a unique opportunity to shape the future of robotics and automation at an unprecedented scale, working with world-class teams pushing the boundaries of what's possible in robotic manipulation, locomotion, and human-robot interaction. As a Sr. Robotics Electrical Engineer in our team, you will be responsible for supporting product development functions across design, validation and manufacturing. We are looking for candidates who thrive in a fast-paced start-up like environment and want to invent the future. In this role, you will wear many hats working on system design down to quick turn prototypes, manufacturing production processes, design validation and debug. You will work at the integrated circuit and product systems level and drive the quality bar to ensure the products we ship are bug free. To be successful you need to be highly motivated, understand how to solve problems and dive deep while delivering to the highest standards. You will demonstrate a strong working knowledge of product electrical design with expertise in systems integration, the desire to learn from new challenges, and the problem-solving and communication skills to work within a highly interactive and experienced team. Key job responsibilities - Lead end-to-end electrical hardware design for robotic systems from system-level architecture and schematic capture through PCB layout, prototyping, and production release - Own schematic design and multi-layer PCB layout in Altium Designer, including stack-up definition, power delivery, and signal integrity - Drive Design for Manufacturability (DFM) in collaboration with fabrication and assembly vendors - Define system-level electrical architecture for robotic platforms encompassing power regulation, motor drive electronics, sensor interfaces, and compute modules - Contribute embedded firmware to bring up hardware, validate interfaces, and unblock system integration - Lead troubleshooting, root cause analysis, and redesign of electrical and electromechanical failures across prototype and production builds - Develop and execute board- and system-level validation test plans - Collaborate with cross-functional teams including controls, mechanical, firmware, and software A day in the life You start your morning reviewing motor controller schematics in Altium, refining gate-drive timing for an actuator in a robotic subsystem. After a quick stand-up with the mechanical and firmware teams, you head to the lab to validate a new sensor board, probing communication buses, tuning thresholds, and capturing data for the controls team. The sensor work might involve force feedback one week and depth sensing the next. By afternoon you're debugging a current loop on a prototype joint, flashing firmware tweaks to tighten the servo response, and updating your PCB layout to fix a routing issue found during testing. No two days look the same; you'll move fluidly between board design, bench work, and firmware across a range of robotic sensing and actuation challenges.
