Description 
Amazon's is building next-generation robotics systems for multi-purpose use, and we need hands-on lab engineers to own and operate the test environments that prove these robots are ready for production. With multiple new test labs coming online in the months ahead, this is a chance to join a growing System Verification and Validation team at a pivotal moment and directly shape how we build, test, and scale our robotics prototypes. As a Lab Engineer, you will operate and maintain test fixtures, lab equipment, and motion capture systems while also performing robot repairs to keep test uptime high. As the team grows, you will have the opportunity to mentor new technicians and associates, and potentially step into a lab manager role. If you are energized by working with robotics and automation hardware, solving hands-on problems, and helping a small team grow, we want to hear from you. 

Key job responsibilities 
• Operate, maintain, and troubleshoot test environments, fixtures, and lab equipment to ensure high availability and uptime for prototype development and verification and validation efforts. 
• Perform robot repairs and hardware rework to maintain test readiness, diagnosing root causes and implementing corrective actions efficiently. 
• Build, test, analyze, and validate robotic prototypes and subsystems using tools such as motion capture systems, test fixtures, and standard lab instrumentation. 
• Deliver high-quality engineering artifacts including test reports, work instructions, and lessons-learned documents that support team knowledge and reproducibility. 
• Assess lab operations proactively, identify process improvements, and lead initiatives that simplify workflows and remove bottlenecks as new lab spaces come online. 

A day in the life 
You might start your morning running a motion capture session to validate robot movement, then pivot to repairing a prototype that failed during an overnight test run. After documenting your findings and updating test records, you could spend the afternoon setting up a newly delivered test fixture and calibrating equipment in one of our expanding lab spaces. You will partner closely with hardware and software test engineers to keep verification activities on track, and as the lab team scales you will help onboard and guide new team members.
