Electrical Engineering, Systems Engineer, Automation & Mechatronics Engineer
Job : | Services LLC
As an Electrical Engineer on our team, you will design industrial control panels, select and integrate sensors and components, and develop electrical systems for packaging and sortation automation equipment. You will work directly in our engineering lab alongside mechanical engineers, controls engineers, and technicians to bring new automation concepts from prototype to production.
Key Responsibilities- Design industrial control panels using EPLAN, selecting and specifying components including PLCs, IPCs, motor drives, sensors, and safety devices
- Research, evaluate, and select sensors, actuators, motors, and other electrical components for integration into automation systems
- Perform system‑level electrical design and integration, ensuring electrical subsystems work cohesively with mechanical and software components
- Create wiring harness designs with connector specifications, wire routing, and cable management for prototype and production systems
- Build and assemble prototype wiring harnesses and control panels in the lab, iterating quickly based on test results
- Interface with industrial automation sensors, PLCs, IPCs, and fieldbus networks (Ether Net/IP, EtherCAT, IO-Link) to integrate electrical systems into complete automation platforms
- Conduct electrical testing and validation using standard lab equipment including oscilloscopes, function generators, multimeters, and power supplies
- Generate electrical documentation including schematics, wiring diagrams, panel layouts, and bills of materials
- Collaborate with mechanical engineers on space claims, thermal management, and cable routing within machine enclosures
- Support field deployment and troubleshooting of electrical systems at fulfillment centers as needed
Our Hardware Development Engineering team operates in a highly collaborative, multi‑disciplinary environment working alongside software engineers, controls engineers, data scientists, reliability engineers, and operations teams. We focus on the design, prototyping, and development of packaging automation systems — from early concept through production‑ready integrated systems — ensuring they meet customer experience, safety, regulatory, and business requirements before deployment. Our work spans the entire product development lifecycle — from concept generation and design down‑selection through continuous improvement of deployed systems across hundreds of fulfillment centers in North America and Europe.
What sets our team apart is our hands‑on approach to solving complex technical challenges. We design and build custom mechanisms, develop novel automation solutions, create robust mechanical and electromechanical systems, and work directly in lab environments and fulfillment centers to bring our designs from prototype to production contributions directly impact Amazon's sustainability goals, operational efficiency, and the customer experience for millions of packages shipped daily.
Qualifications
