Senior Industrial Engineer, Layout

Amazon is seeking exceptional talent to help develop the next generation of advanced robotics systems that will transform automation at Amazons scale. Were building revolutionary robotic systems that combine cutting-edge AI sophisticated control systems and advanced mechanical design to create adaptable automation solutions capable of working safely alongside humans in dynamic environments. This is a unique opportunity to shape the future of robotics and automation at an unprecedented scale working with world-class teams pushing the boundaries of whats possible in robotic manipulation locomotion and human-robot interaction.

We are looking for a Senior Industrial Engineer to own end-to-end site and factory layout management building-level design through campus-level master planning for our manufacturing this role you will design optimize and scale manufacturing facilities by integrating production systems material flow warehouse operations and site infrastructure into a cohesive efficient layout. You will combine industrial engineering expertise with data-driven analysis and cross-functional partnership to support large-scale manufacturing growth.

This is a high-growth fast-evolving environment and you will need to be comfortable with ambiguity while building scalable systems and standards. You will work backwards from operational and business requirements use data to drive layout decisions and influence stakeholders from the shop floor to senior leadership.
