The Vulcan Stow Hardware Team at Amazon Robotics builds high-performance robotic manipulation systems that stow millions of items alongside humans—at Amazon scale. We invent, build, and deploy electromechanical systems including end‑of‑arm tools, workcells, induct stations, and perception hardware that enable robots to interact safely and efficiently with the clutter and uncertainty of real‑world fulfillment centers. Our team specializes in mechanism design, automation, and scaling robotic systems.
We are seeking a hands‑on Hardware Development Manager to lead a team of engineers as we scale Vulcan Stow from initial deployments into a worldwide fleet. You will own hardware delivery across design, build, test, and production cycles—driving technical decisions that determine system cost, reliability, and performance at scale. Collaborating with cross‑functional teams across controls, perception, motion planning, and fulfillment operations, you will deliver hardware systems that are ready for volume manufacturing and global deployment.
Key job responsibilities
As a manager, you will be responsible for delivering and scaling critical robotic hardware across the fulfillment network.
You will recruit, retain, and develop top talent—motivating and coaching a diverse team through day‑to‑day people and performance management.
You will keep your technical skills current to drive hardware through production releases, owning DFX (cost, manufacturing, assembly) trade‑offs that enable volume scaling.
Regularly take part in deep‑dive troubleshooting and drive technical post‑mortem discussions to identify root cause of hardware failures and corrective actions.
Set a vision for your team and create hardware roadmaps that balance reliability, cost reduction, and next‑generation capability development as the program grows.
You will partner closely with controls, perception, software, and motion planning teams to drive cross‑domain integration and ensure hardware decisions align with full‑system performance.
