Job Description

Amazon Lab126’s Device Postponement Operations (DPO) team supports in-region postponement, customization, and pack-out for Amazon devices. In this onsite role in Dallas, TX, you will own the design, development, and delivery of automation controls systems across U.S. and EU/UK locations, helping enable configurable device assembly at low cost and high quality.

As a senior controls engineer, you will work end-to-end on automation programs that connect PLC/HMI logic, motion, robotics, and machine vision, while also driving MES/SCADA integration for production visibility and OEE improvement. You will collaborate with engineering, operations, and leadership, including working with external integrators and vendors during critical project phases.

What you’ll do

Own controls system architecture for complex manufacturing automation lines, including PLC/HMI programming, motion control, robotics integration, and vision systems
Design and develop end-to-end automation systems from concept through commissioning: define requirements, design the controls solution, validate through FAT/SAT, document specifications, select suppliers, and drive production deployment
Design and deploy machine vision for automated inspection, including cosmetic inspection, defect detection, dimensional verification, and barcode or label validation, selecting cameras, lighting, and software platforms and validating accuracy against quality standards
Lead the full automation program lifecycle by developing and maintaining schedules, decomposing functional requirements, managing budgets, tracking milestones, and sharing status across stakeholders
Manage external automation integrators, contractors, and vendors by negotiating technical approaches, managing deliverables and timelines, and holding partners accountable to cost, quality, and schedule targets across multiple geographies
Travel to manufacturing sites and vendor facilities across the U.S. and EU/UK for equipment FATs, line commissioning, production support, and integrator oversight as on-site technical authority during critical phases
Drive MES/SCADA integration strategies, including data collection architecture, real-time production visibility, and OEE improvement via controls optimization and predictive maintenance strategies
Contribute hardware and CAD expertise in fixture, tooling, and layout design by reviewing CAD models and engineering drawings and supporting hardware design decisions impacting controls architecture and integration
Create comprehensive test and validation plans to validate controls designs and address system integration challenges across mechanical, electrical, and software interfaces
Identify, assess, and mitigate program-level technical risks with pragmatic trade-offs between short-term needs and long-term system roadmaps
Design project strategies that decompose complex programs for parallel work, then reassemble into a cohesive system design
Create mechanisms to reduce repeat issues by standardizing controls platforms, improving manufacturing involvement in design, and driving best practices
Collaborate cross-functionally across hardware, software, manufacturing, automation, and quality disciplines to support extensible solution development and integration
Mentor and develop junior engineers, contributing to hiring, performing technical assessments, and participating in design reviews to improve delivery quality

Minimum qualifications
