Sr. Process Engineer, AWS Manufacturing and Repair

Sr. Process Engineer, AWS Manufacturing and Repair

Job  | Amazon Data Services, Inc.

AWS Manufacturing & Repair operations is focused on automated assembly solutions where innovative solutions are needed to accelerate overall manufacturing time, working backwards from customers to increase critical capacity for AWS services by improving yield and reliability while reducing cycle time. This new highly cross‑functional initiative brings together critical expertise from a wide range of Amazon teams dedicated to meeting and exceeding customer expectations through innovative validation processes and Amazon operational excellence.

We are seeking a Sr. Process Engineer to own the operational workflow and design for a new manufacturing and repair program dedicated to innovating material movement workflow in and around automated assembly processes. In this role, you will design and implement end‑to‑end material flow strategies, develop operational processes from concept through execution, and establish the foundational workflows that enable efficient manufacturing and repair operations at scale.

AWS Manufacturing & Repair is a part of the broader AWS Infrastructure Services team which owns the design, planning, delivery, and operation of all AWS global infrastructure. We are the teams who keep the cloud running. We support all AWS data centers and all of the servers, storage, networking, power, and cooling equipment that ensure our customers have continual access to the innovation they rely on.

• Operational Workflow Design & Strategy
  • Own end‑to‑end operational workflow design for manufacturing and repair processes, from material receipt through final product delivery.
  • Develop and implement material movement strategies that optimize flow in and around automated assembly processes.
  • Design operational processes that balance throughput, quality, cost, and safety requirements.
  • Create process maps, standard operating procedures (SOPs), and workflow documentation that enable scalable operations.
  • Investigate and resolve complex operational problems, implementing effective and efficient solutions.
  • Make strategic decisions on process architecture with implications for program deliverables and long‑term operational excellence.
• Material Flow Innovation
  • Innovate material handling solutions that integrate with automated assembly systems, robotics, and manufacturing equipment.
  • Design material flow patterns that minimize handling, reduce cycle time, and eliminate waste.
  • Develop strategies for managing work‑in‑process (WIP) inventory, buffer locations, and material staging areas.
  • Partner with automation teams to ensure material movement workflows align with equipment capabilities and constraints.
  • Apply Lean manufacturing principles and continuous improvement methodologies to optimize material flow.
  • Identify opportunities for automation and mechanization of material handling processes.
• Cross‑Functional Leadership & Influence
  • Lead high‑impact, large‑scale, cross‑functional projects involving manufacturing engineering, facilities, automation, quality, and supply chain teams.
  • Facilitate teamwork and lead discussions to unpack and decompose complex operational challenges.
  • Build cross‑functional support by demonstrating ownership, being Right A Lot, and maintaining a strong backbone when presenting unpopular positions.
  • Influence design teams to adopt Design for Manufacturing (DFM) and Design for Assembly (DFA) principles that enable efficient material flow.
  • Partner with suppliers and equipment vendors to develop material handling solutions and establish operational requirements.
  • Communicate operational strategies clearly to senior leadership, providing data‑driven recommendations.
