Job Description
DESCRIPTION
Amazon Industrial Robotics is seeking exceptional talent to help develop the next generation of advanced manufacturing facilities that will transform production at Amazon's scale. We're building revolutionary factory systems that combine cutting-edge automation, sophisticated process engineering, and advanced simulation modeling to create adaptable manufacturing solutions capable of meeting dynamic production demands. This is a unique opportunity to shape the future of manufacturing and automation at an unprecedented scale, working with world-class teams pushing the boundaries of what's possible in factory design, process optimization, and production flow.
As Senior Industrial Engineer, you will develop innovative and complex factory layouts using simulation modeling to optimize our manufacturing operations and enhance production efficiency. The ideal candidate has demonstrated experience designing and optimizing manufacturing systems from the ground up. They enjoy analytical problem solving and possess practical knowledge of factory design, process engineering, and discrete event simulation. They thrive in an interdisciplinary environment and have led the development of efficient manufacturing systems in highly automated environments.
Key job responsibilities
- Work with an interdisciplinary team to execute factory designs from concept to production including specification, layout, simulation, validation and implementation
- Own the detailed design and performance of manufacturing systems through simulation modeling and process engineering
- Develop and analyze discrete event simulations to validate factory designs and capacity requirements
- Apply Lean/Six Sigma methodologies to optimize manufacturing processes and material flows
- Design and implement efficient material flow systems for automated production environments
- Create and maintain factory simulation models and digital twins to support capacity planning and optimization
- Work with the Operations, Manufacturing, Supply Chain and Quality organizations as well as vendors to ensure a smooth factory launch
- Collaborate with automation teams to integrate robotic systems into factory design
- Write functional specifications, design verification plans, and process validation procedures
- Exhibit role model behaviors of industrial engineering best practices, thorough and predictive engineering analysis and cradle to grave ownership
BASIC QUALIFICATIONS
- Experience using advanced simulation modeling tools (Flexsim, Arena, Simio, etc.)
- Experience in complex work environments, including (but not limited to robotics, automation, diagnostic and test equipment)
- Experience in creating process improvements with automation and analysis
- Experience collaborating and influencing multiple teams across multiple organizations
- Experience working in an Agile environment
- Bachelor's degree in Industrial Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, or related field
- Experience applying Lean/Six Sigma principles in manufacturing environments (VSM, Kaizen, DMAIC, Poka-Yoke, etc.)
- Experience designing factory layouts or production lines
- Experience writing technical documents, project plans and progress reports to leadership and to stakeholders
- Experience with full lifecycle development of manufacturing systems
- Demonstrated ability to translate simulation insights into practical implementation plans
