Senior Industrialization Engineer, Data Center Engineering

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. 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. BASIC QUALIFICATIONS - Bachelor's degree in Industrial Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or other STEM field - 6+ years of manufacturing or manufacturing engineering experience - Experience with process improvement techniques such as Kaizen, Lean Manufacturing or Six Sigma - 5+ years of experience managing large-scale contract manufacturer (CM) relationships - Experience defining manufacturing procedures, standards, or process packages PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS - Experience directly related to the design or construction of data centers or critical infrastructure or large-scale mechanical and electrical plants - Experience with DFx (Design for cost, test, manufacturing) - Experience in high-volume manufacturing operations or sourcing environments - Experience directly related to the design or construction of data centers The base salary range for this position is listed below. Your Amazon package will include sign-on payments and restricted stock units (RSUs). Final compensation will be determined based on factors including experience, qualifications, and location. Amazon also offers comprehensive benefits including health insurance (medical, dental, vision, prescription, Basic Life & AD&D insurance and option for Supplemental life plans, EAP, Mental Health Support, Medical Advice Line, Flexible Spending Accounts, Adoption and Surrogacy Reimbursement coverage), 401(k) matching, paid time off, and parental leave.
