Amazon Robotics is seeking a Sr. Manufacturing Engineer with deep metal casting expertise to join our Advanced Manufacturing Engineering (AME) team in Westborough, MA. You will own manufacturing readiness for the cast structural and drivetrain parts in our robotic systems, from design-for-casting reviews through tool launch, qualification and production ramp at our global supplier base.
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.

Search Advanced Manufacturing Engineer Jobs in MassachusettsAdvanced Manufacturing Engineer Jobs in Massachusetts: Frequently Asked Questions
Which companies sponsor visas for advanced manufacturing engineers in Massachusetts?
Massachusetts has a strong base of employers with active sponsorship histories for engineering roles. Raytheon Technologies, GE Aviation, Boston Scientific, Thermo Fisher Scientific, and iRobot have all filed Labor Condition Applications for manufacturing engineer positions. Defense contractors along the Route 128 corridor and medical device firms clustered near Boston and Marlborough are particularly active sponsors for advanced manufacturing engineers.
Which visa types realistically fit advanced manufacturing engineer roles in Massachusetts?
Advanced manufacturing engineering is a specialty occupation requiring a directly related bachelor's degree, so H-1B visa is the primary path for most international candidates. Australian citizens can apply for the E-3 visa, which carries no lottery. Canadian and Mexican citizens holding an engineering degree may qualify under the TN visa's Engineer category. For candidates already in F-1 status, OPT or STEM OPT can bridge employment while an employer pursues longer-term sponsorship. EB-2 and EB-3 green cards are common long-term outcomes.
How to find advanced manufacturing engineer visa sponsorship jobs in Massachusetts?
Migrate Mate lists Massachusetts employers with verified sponsorship histories for engineering roles, letting you search specifically for advanced manufacturing engineer positions without sorting through companies that don't sponsor. Because the platform is built around Labor Condition Application filing data, you can see which Massachusetts employers have actively sponsored roles matching your background, saving significant research time compared to general job searches.
Which cities in Massachusetts have the most advanced manufacturing engineer sponsorship jobs?
The Route 128 corridor, spanning Waltham, Woburn, Lexington, and Burlington, is the densest concentration of advanced manufacturing employers in Massachusetts. Greater Boston and Cambridge anchor aerospace and biotech-adjacent manufacturing roles. Worcester has a growing industrial base supported by WPI graduates. Marlborough and Lowell are strong for medical device and semiconductor manufacturing, with several multinational employers holding consistent sponsorship track records in those areas.
Are there state-specific factors that affect visa sponsorship for advanced manufacturing engineers in Massachusetts?
Massachusetts' concentration of defense contractors means some advanced manufacturing engineer roles require security clearances, which international candidates on nonimmigrant visas typically cannot obtain. This narrows the field but doesn't eliminate sponsorship opportunities, as many commercial aerospace, medical device, and industrial automation employers in the state have no clearance requirements. The University of Massachusetts system and WPI produce a steady engineering pipeline that has normalized sponsorship processes among major regional employers.
What is the prevailing wage for sponsored advanced manufacturing engineer jobs in Massachusetts?
U.S. employers sponsoring a visa must pay at least the prevailing wage, which is what workers in the same role, area, and experience level typically earn. The Department of Labor sets this rate to make sure companies aren't hiring foreign workers simply because they'd accept lower pay than a U.S. worker. It varies by job title, location, and experience. You can look up current prevailing wage rates for any occupation and location using the OFLC Wage Search page.
