How often have you had an opportunity to be a
founding member of a team that is tasked with
solving a huge everyday problem through
innovative technology? Would you like to know
more about how we are using the internet of
things to enable a brand new marketplace and
disrupt an entire industry? If this sounds
intriguing, then we’d like to talk to you about a
role on a new Amazon team tackling a set of
problems requiring significant innovation.

Everyone on the team needs to be entrepreneurial,
wear many hats and work in a highly collaborative
environment that’s more startup than big company.
We’ll need to tackle problems that span a variety
of domains: real-time, embedded, and distributed
systems. You should be comfortable with a degree
of ambiguity that’s higher than most projects and
relish the idea of solving problems that,
frankly, haven’t been solved at scale before -
anywhere. Along the way, we guarantee that you’ll
learn a ton, have fun and make a positive impact on millions of people.

As a Hardware Development Engineer, you will lead
the hardware design of this program from concept
to mass production. In addition, you will also
act as system integrator, leading the
cross-functional engineering team through the
development process. You will be responsible for
the overall hardware performance including audio,
RF, power, display, etc; as well as leading the
team through all the usual integration challenges
ESD, EMC, EMI, antenna performance, etc.

You must be responsive, flexible and able to
succeed within an open collaborative peer
environment. You will work closely with an
internal inter-disciplinary team, and outside
partners to drive key aspects of product definition, execution and test.

In this role, you will:

Performm schematic design and the PCB layout
Manage the eBOM within thhe PLM system
Drive the team through the concept / design /
opttimize & validate phases of a project
Work with Software teeams on device bring-up and development
Work with the product ddesign team on mechanical integration
Work with the operations team on manufacturing
test development and Contract Manufacturers
* Travel to support engineering builds
Be accountable for deelivering on schedule and
meeting the performance, features and quality requirements for the project

This is a brand new Amazon project and this is
your chance to get in on the ground floor of a
game-changing initiative. While you’ll be able to
use existing Amazon systems when possible, you’ll
be working on hard challenging problems that most
likely have no off-the-shelf solutions within
Amazon, and most likely haven’t been solved
anywhere else in the world to the requirements we need.

BASIC QUALIFICATIONS

· Master’s Degree in EE or related field and 3+
years of relevant work experience
· Experience with hardware/software integration and real time systems
· Strong Mathematical/Statistical/Physics fundamentals
· Proficiency with industry standard PCB design
tools (schematic capture & layout)
· Proficiency in firmware development/programming
languages such as C/C++ & Assembly

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS

· Experience building complex hardware/embedded
systems that have been successfully delivered to customers at scale
· Practical experience with RF PCB designs in industrial environments
· Knowledge of embedded engineering practices and
patterns for the full software/hardware/networks development life cycle
· Ability to take a project from scoping
requirements through rapid prototyping/iteration
to actual launch and SLA-driven operations
· Experience in communicating with end users,
technical and business teams and management to
collect requirements, describe product features, and refine technical designs
