Simulation Engineer, Innovation and Design Engineering

Are you passionate about creating digital experiments that validate innovative automation technologies? Do you excel at using simulation tools to optimize mechanical designs and processes before they're built? Does collaborating with hardware development engineers to revolutionize logistics automation excite you? The Worldwide Innovation and Design team is seeking a Simulation Engineer to lead discrete-event simulations for our Last Mile (AMZL) network technologies. We offer the opportunity to shape the future of automation through digital experimentation while working with world-class engineering teams.

Key job responsibilities

• As a Simulation Engineer at Amazon, you will lead the creation of complex discrete-event simulations that validate new technologies early in their development cycle - focussing on process simulations to understand throughput requirements, bottlenecks and operator machine interactions.
• You will utilize your expertise in simulation software (FlexSim, Emulate 3D) and programming to create digital experiments that optimize processes and influence mechanical designs whether it be robotics, AGV's, conveyors or storage systems.
• You will have ownership of strategic modeling projects, establish best practices, and influence design decisions through data-driven insights.
• Your work will directly impact the success of revolutionary automation technologies in our logistics network.

About the team

• You will join the System Integration & Performance team within Innovation & Design Engineering, working alongside experts in Data Analytics, Physical Validation, and Integration.
• Together, these pillars provide essential tools for Hardware Developers to make informed design decisions.
• Innovation & Design's mission is to discover, test, and enhance new mechatronics technologies (Robots, Conveyors, Sorters) that transform Amazon's last mile logistics operations
