Senior Mechanical Engineer, Manipulation Robotics

Job description

Manipulation robots increasingly need to execute contact-rich grasping within cluttered containers, requiring compliant mechanisms that grip a wide range of items securely without damaging them. At Amazon, our end effectors must also survive continuous, high-cycle contact in facilities that run around the clock. Given the scale of our operations, these mechanisms must be simple to manufacture, deploy, and support. We are looking for a Senior Mechanical Engineer to own compliant grasping mechanisms and end-of-arm tooling from concept through production, with reliability, fatigue life, and serviceability designed in from the start.

The Manipulation Robotics team develops robotic workcells to…
