DESCRIPTION
The Amazon Robotics (AR) Operations organization manufactures high-quality robotics and gets the right materials to the right place at the right time to enable our automated solutions. It's a fast-paced operation that works cross-functionally with teams across Amazon globally, and is powered by data and performance indicators.
Are you inspired by invention? Is problem solving through teamwork in your DNA? Do you like the idea of seeing how your work impacts the bigger picture? Answer yes to any of these and you'll fit right in here at Amazon Robotics. We are a smart team of doers that work passionately to apply manufacturing technology in robotics and software to solve real-world problems that will transform our customers' experiences. We invent new improvements every day. We will give you the tools and support you need to invent with us in ways that are rewarding, fulfilling and fun.
This role will report to the Head of Advanced Manufacturing Engineering. You will be AME's technical owner for castings across multiple new product introduction (NPI) programs. You will choose the right casting process for each part, set the requirements our suppliers build to, launch die-cast and cast tooling on aggressive schedules, and drive root cause on casting defects in production and the field. The successful candidate brings years of hands-on time at foundries or die casters and is willing to "roll up sleeves and do what needs to get done" to consistently deliver results.
The strongest candidates bring 5+ years of casting process or tooling engineering at a die caster, foundry or OEM casting program, covering high-pressure die casting (HPDC) or another production casting process, plus hands-on tool launches through production part approval process (PPAP).
Key job responsibilities
- Own casting manufacturing readiness from NPI through production ramp across high-pressure die casting (HPDC), low-pressure, gravity, investment and sand casting in aluminum, magnesium, zinc and ferrous alloys.
- Lead process selection and make-vs-convert trade studies (casting vs. billet, fabrication, extrusion or molding) on cost, lead time, tooling investment and capability.
- Provide design for casting feedback on draft, wall thickness, ribbing, parting lines, gating, ejector placement, datums and machining stock.
- Review mold-flow and solidification simulation (MAGMASOFT, ProCAST, FLOW-3D CAST) before tool steel is cut.
- Launch die-cast and cast tooling on accelerated schedules: tool design reviews, press tonnage, trim tooling, fixtures and T0/T1 trials.
- Qualify casting processes through first article inspection, PPAP, control plans and process capability (Cpk), including machining, heat treatment, impregnation and finishing.
- Set casting quality requirements: porosity classes, X-ray or CT acceptance, mechanical testing, leak testing and CMM inspection.
- Drive failure analysis and corrective action on porosity, cold shuts, hot tears, soldering and distortion using 8D and 5-Why.
- Lead PFMEA and DFMEA reviews, and evaluate Engineering Change Orders (ECOs) on cast and machined parts.
- Develop casting suppliers across North America, Mexico and Asia.
- Up to 30% travel required, including international supplier sites.
A day in the life
You might start the day reviewing a solidification simulation for a new aluminum housing and pushing back on a thick boss that will shrink. Mid-morning, you join a design review with Hardware Engineering to move a parting line and add draft before the part releases. After lunch, you could walk a die caster through T1 X-ray results, disposition an ECO on a machined casting, or lead a PFMEA on a new trim process.

Tips for Your Manufacturing Engineering Technician Job Search
Tailor your resume to process keywords
Manufacturing engineering technician job postings screen heavily for terms like GD&T, FMEA, SPC, and 5S. Pull the exact process and tool names from each posting and match them to your resume so your application clears automated screening before a human ever reads it.
List certifications in a dedicated section
Certifications like ASQ CQT, SME CMTFG, or OSHA 10 carry real weight on a manufacturing engineering technician resume. Put them in their own section near the top so hiring managers spot them immediately rather than hunting through your work history.
Apply early to roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists manufacturing engineering technician openings from across the United States in one place, so you can find roles that match and apply directly to each listing.
Target roles by industry segment carefully
A background in medical device manufacturing and one in automotive stamping look different to hiring managers even when the job title is identical. Filter your search by industry segment and emphasize the quality standards that match, whether that's ISO 13485, IATF 16949, or AS9100.
Prepare for a hands-on skills assessment
Many manufacturing engineering technician interviews include a bench test, blueprint reading exercise, or a walk-through on the shop floor. Brush up on reading tolerances, identifying datum references on a drawing, and explaining a time you caught a process deviation before it reached the customer.
Negotiate total compensation, not just base pay
Manufacturing roles often include shift differentials, tool allowances, and tuition reimbursement that meaningfully affect your total package. Ask specifically about those items during the offer stage, since they're negotiable separately from your hourly rate or salary.
