Senior Test Engineer, Amazon Robotics

In this role you design, commission, and operate test benches for electrical-drive systems, turning measurement data into actionable insights that influence actuation hardware design. You work closely with mechanical, electrical, firmware, and systems engineers to align testing with product goals and milestones. You will process signals from torque and encoder sensors, apply MATLAB-based analysis, and document clear evaluations to guide the design cycle. This position combines hands-on bench work with data-driven decision making in a fast-paced robotics environment.

• Design, commission, and operate test benches for motors, inverters, and gear units
• Select, integrate, and calibrate torque cells and encoders, understanding error sources
• Process and analyze test data with MATLAB to extract performance metrics
• Compile structured test reports comparing results to specifications and derive engineering learnings
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to align test strategies with product requirements and milestones

• Bachelor in Electrical Engineering or Mechanical Engineering (related field)
• Experience with test plan development and building test bench infrastructure
• Experience reviewing test plans, test cases, and results with QA background
• Practical knowledge of torque cells and rotary encoders and their calibration
• Proficiency in MATLAB for measurement data processing and signal processing fundamentals

• collaboration with cross-functional teams
• attention to detail
• strong problem-solving mindset
• MATLAB
• test bench design
