DESCRIPTION
AWS Manufacturing & Repair operations is focused on automated assembly solutions where innovative solutions are needed to accelerate overall manufacturing time, working backwards from customers to increase critical capacity for AWS services by improving yield and reliability while reducing cycle time. This new highly cross-functional initiative brings together critical expertise from a wide-range of Amazon teams dedicated to meeting and exceeding customer expectations through innovative validation processes and Amazon operational excellence.
We are seeking a Process Engineer to own the operational workflow and design for a new manufacturing and repair program dedicated to innovating material movement workflow in and around automated assembly processes. In this role, you will design and implement end-to-end material flow strategies, develop operational processes from concept through execution, and establish the foundational workflows that enable efficient manufacturing and repair operations at scale. You will work in an ambiguous environment where the business problem is known, but the technical strategy and operational framework must be developed from the ground up. You will investigate and develop strategies and concepts to frame solution sets that optimize material handling, minimize bottlenecks, and integrate seamlessly with automated assembly systems. Your work will directly impact the efficiency, quality, and scalability of AWS's manufacturing and repair operations for business-critical platforms.
AWS Manufacturing & Repair is a part of the broader AWS Infrastructure Services team which owns the design, planning, delivery, and operation of all AWS global infrastructure. We are the teams who keep the cloud running. We support all AWS data centers and all of the servers, storage, networking, power, and cooling equipment that ensure our customers have continual access to the innovation they rely on. We work on the most challenging problems, with thousands of variables impacting the supply chain — and we're looking for talented people who want to help. You'll join a diverse team of software, hardware, and network engineers, supply chain specialists, security experts, operations managers, and other vital roles. You'll collaborate with people across AWS to help us deliver the highest standards for safety and security while providing seemingly infinite capacity at the lowest possible cost for our customers. And you'll experience an inclusive culture that welcomes bold ideas and empowers you to own them to completion.
Come join our team and be a part of history as we deliver results for the largest cloud services company on Earth!

Manufacturing Process Engineer Jobs in Austin: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get a manufacturing process engineer job in Austin?
Focus your search on Austin's semiconductor and advanced electronics employers clustered in Northwest Austin and the Domain area, plus the growing clean energy and electric vehicle manufacturing base in Southeast Austin near the Gigafactory corridor. Candidates with experience in cleanroom processes, surface mount technology, or lean manufacturing stand out locally. Targeting mid-size contract manufacturers and Tier 1 automotive suppliers that have expanded into the Austin metro in recent years also broadens your options.
Which companies hire manufacturing process engineers in Austin?
Employers hiring manufacturing process engineers in Austin right now include Amazon, Amazon Web Services, and Applied Materials, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of June 2026. Austin's hiring mix leans toward semiconductor fabs, defense electronics contractors, and high-growth EV and clean energy manufacturers that have established or expanded operations here over the past several years.
Are there remote manufacturing process engineer jobs in Austin?
Yes, though remote options are limited by nature since most manufacturing process engineer work requires direct hands-on access to production lines, equipment, and cleanroom environments. About 0% of manufacturing process engineer openings tied to Austin are remote or hybrid as of June 2026, and those tend to be process documentation, supplier quality, or continuous improvement roles where the analytical and reporting work can be done off-site.
How can I get a manufacturing process engineer job in Austin with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path in Austin is through a process technician or manufacturing engineer associate role at one of the semiconductor or electronics contract manufacturers in Northwest Austin, which regularly hire recent engineering graduates and promote from within. University of Texas engineering co-op and intern pipelines feed directly into these employers. Familiarity with statistical process control, AutoCAD, or Six Sigma fundamentals, even at a coursework level, gives Austin applicants a concrete edge over candidates without that exposure.
Which industries hire the most manufacturing process engineers in Austin?
The sectors hiring the most manufacturing process engineers in Austin are Retail, Technology & Software, and E-Commerce & Online Marketplaces, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of June 2026. Austin's rapid expansion as a domestic semiconductor and electric vehicle production hub has driven sustained demand from both established fabs and newer entrants building out local manufacturing capacity.
