About the team

The Systems Architecture Team at Amazon Robotics works across disciplines to balance technical priorities and business drivers, simplify and ensure correctness of system design, and ensure efficient integration of subsystems across disparate domains.

Our team focuses on concept and new product programs for complex systems that have concurrent development and tightly-coupled integration across disciplines, important safety requirements, or long hardware lead times or architectural constraints that inhibit rapid design iterations.

The team adapts traditional systems engineering tools and best practices for the speed of development and evaluation at Amazon.

We use multidisciplinary analysis, integrated modeling, and systems engineering frameworks to simultaneously increase performance and robustness, while reducing cost, timeline, and the number of iterations required to deliver value to the customer.

BASIC QUALIFICATIONS

• Experience with eliciting and clarifying business and end user needs, and connecting those needs to system concepts, requirements, and designs
• Experience leading technical collaborations and creating alignment across diverse groups (e.g., technical disciplines, subsystem teams, development partners)
• Experience identifying and analyzing dependencies, tradeoffs, and sensitivities across multi-disciplinary systems
• Understanding of systems engineering tools and best practices, and the ability to tailor the processes to help new product development teams go fast
• Experience developing test strategies and plans for complex hardware / software systems or system of systems.
• BS or equivalent in Electrical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Systems Engineering, Operations Research, Mathematics, Physics, or another STEM discipline
• 7+ years of experience

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS

• Experience developing and supporting hardware / software systems or systems across the product life cycle
• Experience developing structured systems engineering artifacts (e.g., requirements, test cases, etc.) using requirements management tools (e.

g., Jama, DOORS, Helix)

• Experience with developing safety-critical systems and supporting related regulatory compliance needs
• Experience with 1 or more relevant domains : Industrial Automation, Robotic Vehicles / Manipulation, Automotive, Medical Devices, Enterprise and / or Embedded Software, Autonomy, Perception and Controls, Human Centered Design
• 9+ years of experience in system design
