Sr Mechanical Test Engineer

Job description

DESCRIPTION

Amazon is focused on protecting the health and safety of our employees while continuing to serve people who need our services more than ever. Regular testing on a global scale across all industries would both help keep people safe and help get the economy back up and running. But, for this to work, we as a society would need vastly more testing capacity than is currently available.
Unfortunately, today we live in a world of scarcity where COVID-19 testing is heavily rationed. Until we have an effective vaccine available in billions of doses, high-volume testing capacity would be of great help, but getting that done will take collective action by NGOs, companies, and governments.

For our part, Amazon has begun the work of building incremental testing capacity.

The Role:
This role is part of an engineering test and automation team that develops and supports systems and processes that make planning, manufacturing, launching and supporting devices as efficient and frictionless as possible. This role works closely with the parallel software-focused MTE, and related cross functional teams. Candidates for this role will generally have an Information Systems, Computer Science or Electrical Engineering background.

We are looking for a talented test development engineer to help lead the development of software, test, and automation control systems that drive test standardization. Utilizing a variety of languages (e.g. C, C++, Python, Java, MATLAB, LabVIEW), this engineer will be responsible for contributing to the vision, architecture, and implementation of tools and solutions that will simplify and automate manufacturing systems while eliminating special knowledge requirements for system setup and operation. This individual should be skilled in developing modular system
