Employer job description
From Amazon's posting. “We” and “our” refer to the employer.
We are seeking a Member of Technical Staff — Mechanical Engineer to lead the structural and electromechanical design of advanced high degree-of-freedom robotic systems within a frontier AI and robotics research lab. You will own the mechanical architecture of our robotics platform end-to-end: actuator selection, joint design, thermal management, cable routing, sensing integration, and structural optimization — all under the demanding constraints of a high-DoF system that must be lightweight, robust, and production-viable.
This is a unique opportunity to define the physical design direction of a next-generation robotics platform from first principles.
The ideal candidate has deep experience designing complex robotic systems and scaling hardware from concept through prototyping to production. You thrive on analytical problem solving, possess strong intuition for structural and electromechanical tradeoffs, and are equally comfortable in CAD and on the shop floor.
You will be the technical lead of a small team of talented mechanical engineers while collaborating closely with electrical, firmware, controls, and AI research teams to set the mechanical and structural direction of the platform.
