Senior Industrialization Engineer, Data Center Engineering

Amazon Web Services is seeking a Senior Industrialization Engineer to lead

manufacturing and industrialization activities for New Product Introductions

(NPI) from prototype to high-volume production. You will own the translation of

product design intent into scalable manufacturing workflows, consult on Design

for Manufacturability (DFM), and partner with internal partners and external

suppliers to achieve volume output based on business demands.

AWS Infrastructure Services owns the design, planning, delivery, and operation

of all AWS global infrastructure. In other words, we’re the people 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. We work on the most challenging

problems, with thousands of variables impacting the supply chain — and we’re

looking for talented people who want to help.

As a Senior Industrialization Engineer, you work within the strategy and

standards set by the team’s Principal Engineers, you develop the detailed

manufacturing process, stand up production lines, and lead ramp-up activities at

large-scale contract manufacturers (CMs). You are measured on getting real

product out the door: lines that hit their takt time, OEE, and yield targets,

and a repeatable process that scales across sites.

You will spend meaningful time on the factory floor diagnosing bottlenecks,

balancing lines, and partnering directly with CM engineering teams to resolve

the issues that stand between a design and dependable high-volume output.

Amazon has a global presence. Travel to our data centers (located throughout

AMER region), contractor manufacturer visits, and yearly team off-sites are

required. Domestic travel is ramp-driven: 30–50% during active production ramps,

tapering between platform launches. International support will be part of the

job and some international travel may be necessary.

Key job responsibilities

- Manufacturing Process Development: Develop and document the detailed

manufacturing process, workstation definition, work content, line balancing, and

takt time, translating the team’s manufacturing strategy into executable

production plans.

- Capacity & Scale Planning: Build the capacity models and scaling approach for

each product, deciding how the process ramps from low-volume builds to

serialized production across sites, then validate the plan against real line

performance.

- Production Line Build & Ramp: Stand up production lines at contract

manufacturers and lead ramp-up from low-volume builds to serialized production,

maintaining presence on the factory floor until OEE targets are met.

- Tooling, Fixturing & Automation: Specify and validate tooling, fixturing, and

automation/robotics appropriate to the volume and product, and confirm they

perform on the line.

- Process Analysis & Optimization: Use simulation, process flow analysis, and

ergonomics to identify bottlenecks and drive yield improvement, cost reduction,

and throughput gains.

- CM Execution & Qualification: Partner day-to-day with CM engineering teams to

qualify processes against defined standards and ensure consistent, repeatable

output across lines and sites.

- Design-for-Manufacturability Feedback: Work with the product design team to

flag manufacturability risks early and feed line-level constraints back into

design before high-volume commitment.

- Issue Resolution: Lead the resolution of production issues on the floor,

partnering with Quality and Reliability to separate design defects from

process/line inefficiencies and restore stability.
