## Description

Amazon is seeking a talented, enthusiastic, and motivated Interdisciplinary Senior Systems Engineer to join a dynamic team that provides leadership for concept development, architecture, and design of robotics systems and industrial equipment. This candidate should be motivated to adapt well-tried systems engineer principles into a new and emerging industry. The preferred candidate would have demonstrated experience in robotics, mechatronics, experience with machine safety and/or functional safety standards, and possess excellent communication skills. This position reports directly to the System Architect., The Senior Interdisciplinary Systems Engineer will:

 * Define, expand, and explore the design space for complex, multidisciplinary robotics and automation problems
 * Identify and analyze the cross-functional tradeoffs between design alternatives, including impact on performance, schedule, cost, risk, complexity, and scale
 * Break down and frame problems using con-ops, use cases, structural/functional decompositions, and other system representations to clarify needs and align technical teams
 * Identify design choices to ensure our products are safe, reliable, and usable, and can be deployed and supported at Amazon scale
 * Build quantitative models and analyses (Excel, MATLAB, Python, internal tools) to conduct trade studies, refine requirements, and understand key system drivers across the integrated systems of systems
 * Perform technical risk assessments (such as TRL, Gap Analysis, FMEDA, HARA, etc.), devise mitigation plans, and create system test strategies
 * Develop and communicate system integration and evaluation strategies and plans in support of program learning, technical risk reduction, verification, and validation
 * Drive and prioritize execution of system test campaigns that span lab and field testing environments in collaboration with subsystem development and test teams (test readiness reviews, test execution, post-test analysis and reporting)
 * Guide and inform, via analyses, cross-functional architecture definition
 * Mentor junior engineers in engineering best practices, and participate in hiring of new team members
