Senior Manufacturing Test Engineer

Manufacturing Test Engineer

Amazon is seeking a Manufacturing Test Engineer to design, deploy, and own the in-process and end-of-line test systems for a product line scaling from prototype builds toward high-volume manufacturing. This is a hands-on technical role at the intersection of manufacturing, test engineering, and data — you'll architect test stations that generate structured data designed for effortless dashboarding, and sit at the seam between validation and production — translating what engineering needs to prove into what the floor can execute  ideal candidate brings 7+ years of experience designing and deploying manufacturing test systems for complex electromechanical products — subassembly testing, in-line functional test, and parametric data collection.

You should be equally comfortable specifying fixtures and instrumentation, writing test sequences, and partnering with software teams to ensure a streamlined data pipeline from station to output and learning. This role demands an exceptionally strong partnership with engineering and validation teams to translate design-intent verification requirements into robust, operator-friendly production test solutions that scale.

Key job responsibilities include:

• Design and deploy manufacturing test systems — electromechanical subassembly test stations, in-line functional/parametric test, and end-of-line (EoL) acceptance test — sized for medium-to-high throughput.
• Partner with Engineering and Validation to translate design verification and V&V requirements into production-grade test procedures that run at rate with high repeatability and clear pass/fail determination.
• Own the test data pipeline end-to-end — from sensor/instrument output through structured data export. Define and iterate data schemas and pass/fail logic, and export data that enables real-time production visibility without post-processing.
• Design operator-friendly test setups at medium-to-high throughput that inform high-volume line requirements — intuitive UIs, clear pass/fail indicators, guided error recovery, and work.
• Specify and procure test instrumentation, as in some combination of DAQ hardware, sensors, power supplies, electronic loads, motion controllers and communication interfaces (CAN, EtherCAT, SPI, UART), making smart build-vs-buy decisions.
• Design test fixtures and mechanical interfaces for device-under-test (DUT) handling and testing. Balance speed (quick turn processing techniques) and precision appropriately for the build stage.
• Develop and maintain test sequences/software and/or partner with software/controls teams to ensure proper version control, configuration management, and calibration procedures.
• Analyze test data to drive quality and design improvements — identify trends, correlate test failures to root cause, and feed actionable insights back to design and process engineering. Close the loop between test floor observations and the next design iteration.
• Define and evolve test coverage strategy as builds shift from development to production scale. Own "ready to test" as part of the broader build readiness process.
• Drive test system reliability and uptime — manage calibration schedules, develop troubleshooting guides, and train technicians and operators on test execution and basic fault recovery.
• Lead and build the manufacturing test culture as we grow the team
