Electrical Hardware Development Engineer, One MHS

About the role

We are seeking an experienced and highly motivated Electrical Hardware Engineer to help develop the next generation of robotics, automation, and material handling systems for Amazon's operations. Our team owns end-to-end electrical system design and implementation for an emerging technology, integrating power distribution, controls, industrial networks, functional safety, and field devices.

Responsibilities

• Define hardware requirements and specifications
• Develop modular, connectorized electrical hardware for power distribution, control cabinets, cable assemblies, and field devices
• Select, specify, and qualify industrial components, and establish preferred-parts and approved-vendor standards
• Partner with internal teams, suppliers, and manufacturing partners to evaluate hardware manufacturability, make-versus-buy decisions, cost, quality, and production readiness
• Analyze components and assemblies, including sizing, derating, tolerance, and thermal performance
• Develop part libraries, macros, schematics, and 3D layouts in EPLAN
• Manage hardware configurations, bills of material, and engineering changes through PLM
• Build prototypes and test setups to validate designs early
• Plan and execute design verification and qualification testing, and use results to guide design decisions and improvements
• Own hardware reliability, including FMEA, accelerated life testing, and field failure analysis
• Apply relevant standards and produce qualification evidence for NRTL reviews and certification
• Support builds, installation, and commissioning
• Lead design reviews and provide technical guidance to other engineers

Qualifications

The ideal candidate is a curious, detail-oriented builder who moves comfortably between component selection, detailed electrical design, analysis, and hands-on testing and troubleshooting.

• Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering or equivalent
• 3+ years of experience developing electrical hardware for automation, robotics, material handling, or similarly complex electromechanical systems
• Experience developing electrical schematics using ECAD platforms such as EPLAN, AutoCAD Electrical, SolidWorks Electrical, or similar
• Experience with 3-phase, single-phase, and DC power distribution
• Hands-on experience building, testing, and troubleshooting industrial electrical hardware
• Experience applying industrial electrical standards such as UL 508A, NFPA 79, NEC, IEC 60204-1, or IEC 81346
• Ability to travel up to 25% domestically and internationally

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience specifying and qualifying industrial electrical components, and establishing preferred-parts or approved-vendor standards
• Experience owning hardware reliability, including FMEA, accelerated life testing, and field failure analysis
• Experience developing power conversion, motor drive, or power supply hardware
• Experience developing test setups and using Python scripting, SQL, and data analysis to support hardware development and validation
• Experience using 3D CAD and PLM systems for design, configuration, bills of material, revisions, and engineering changes
• Experience with industrial communication networks such as EtherCAT, PROFINET, EtherNet/IP, or similar

Pay

The base salary range for this position is $117,300.00 - $160,000.00 USD annually.

Benefits

Amazon offers comprehensive benefits including health insurance, 401(k) matching, paid time off, and parental leave.
