Amazon Robotics has a dedicated focus on research and development to continuously explore new opportunities to extend its product lines into new areas.
Amazon Robotics internship/co-op/full-time opportunities will be based out of the Greater Boston Area in our two state-of-the-art facilities in Westborough, MA and North Reading, MA. Both campuses provide a unique opportunity to have direct access to robotics testing labs and manufacturing facilities.
Must be eligible and available for a full-time (40h / week) 6-month internship between January 2025 to June 2025 or July 2025 to December 2025
Within Amazon Robotics, the Robotics Deployment Engineering team oversees the installation, troubleshooting, and commissioning of Amazon Robotics equipment within new and existing fulfillment centers. This field engineering-based role requires technical skills related to the deployment of robotic equipment including work with mechanical, electrical, networking, and software systems during a deployment. Training is provided on the specific systems that the engineers will be working on, though candidates should possess existing knowledge on the basic operations of robotics and networked mechanical and electrical systems prior to taking the position.
The robotics systems that the Deployment Engineering Co-Op will be deploying may be in various phases of a product life cycle. The candidate will be expected to work to develop process documentation and modify the existing processes in partnership with project and program managers to drive business performance and sustainability. Proven technical knowledge, a love of field work, and a keen interest in diving deep into the workings of the many robotics systems that Amazon uses are critical to success in this role.
This position requires up to 75% travel. Valid US drivers license required.
