About this role

Automation Engineer, Manufacturing Automation Design & Engineering Salt Lake City, Utah, USA Amazon Web Services' Hardware Engineering team is looking for experienced professionals to help build the world's premier cloud computing platform. Our Manufacturing Automation Design & Engineering team designs, validates, and deploys automation solutions - robotics, cobots, vision inspection, AI-powered quality systems, and automated assembly workflows - across contract manufacturer sites worldwide. About the Role: You will architect the controls backbone and intelligent inspection strategy that makes every automated station self-verifying. This means defining how PLCs, sensors, cameras, AOI algorithms, and MES data connections integrate across every automation cell - creating a standardized, replicable controls and inspection package that deploys across all CM sites without re-engineering. You combine deep expertise in machine vision (AI-based defect classification, force sensing, AOI model training) with industrial controls architecture (PLC platforms, safety systems, network protocols). Your work turns a mechanical robot into an intelligent quality gate - catching defects at the point of assembly rather than at test or in the datacenter. Our scope covers all server and rack assembly across all architectures and platforms - compute, AI/ML accelerators, storage, and networking. We design intelligent, predictive-analytics-driven production systems where every station is sensor-driven, AI-optimized, and self-correcting - turning assembly lines into programmable, data-generating platforms that scale capacity without scaling headcount.This role requires the engineer to operate in a fast-paced, multi-platform international manufacturing environment with travel to contract manufacturer sites (up to 25-30% travel anticipated). Key job responsibilities • Architect controls standard for all
