Supply Chain Engineer, Supply Chain Engineering and Operations
We are committed to furthering our culture of diversity and inclusion within Amazon. How do you get items to customers quickly, cost‑effectively, and—most importantly—safely, in less than an hour? And how do you do it in a way that can scale? Our teams of scientists, engineers, aerospace professionals and futurists have been working hard to do just that! We’re delivering to customers and are excited for what’s to come. Check out more information about Prime Air on Amazon’s blog. Prime Air is seeking an experienced Supply Chain Engineer who combines technical and analytical capabilities with the demonstrated ability to get the right things done quickly and effectively. You will own supplier performance across quality, cost, and schedule, partner with cross‑functional teams, and support new product introductions and sustaining operations. Key job responsibilities Own supplier performance across quality, cost, and schedule Develop and maintain manufacturing documentation (process flows, build instructions, PFMEAs, and control plans) to enable consistent and repeatable production. Assess and qualify supplier manufacturing capability to meet design intent, production rate, and scalability requirements through detailed process reviews and onsite audits. Build and own should‑cost models for key components and assemblies; partner with engineering, sourcing, and finance to identify cost drivers and opportunities for value engineering. Lead technical program management for supplier‑driven workstreams, aligning build readiness, material availability, and design milestones. Review and approve manufacturing process changes, ensuring design compliance, risk mitigation, and smooth implementation through structured change management. Plan and execute supplier ramp‑ups and new product introductions, coordinating technical readiness, pilot builds, and early production validation. Establish performance tracking mechanisms for yield, throughput, and process capability; leverage metrics to identify and close performance gaps. Drive root‑cause and corrective action activities to resolve quality, delivery, and process issues while enabling long‑term improvements. Collaborate cross‑functionally with design engineering, sourcing, quality, and operations to align supplier strategy with product and program objectives. Develop and deploy scalable mechanisms to monitor, report, and continuously improve supplier manufacturing performance. A day in the life Each day blends Day 1 innovation with disciplined execution. You’ll shift between solving urgent supplier issues, building scalable mechanisms, and aligning hardware production across teams. One hour you’re deep in yield data or a cost model; the next, you’re on the factory floor driving readiness. This role thrives in ambiguity—turning chaos into structure, and structure into scalable systems that deliver quality, cost, and schedule at speed. Basic Qualifications 3+ years of working in mechanical engineering or equivalent experience Experience in supplier relationship management (e.g., SLAs management, performance/scorecarding) Experience leading engineering design projects and interacting with cross‑functional teams Experience communicating across technical and non‑technical audiences, including executive level stakeholders or clients Ability to travel domestically and internationally up to 25% within 24 hrs notice Preferred Qualifications Experience with ERP and procurement tools, including Oracle, Coupa and Ariba 5+ years of experience in supplier management or manufacturing engineering for aerospace, automotive, robotics, or high‑precision hardware Experience developing and maintaining should‑cost models and supporting cost negotiations Knowledge of DFM/DFA principles, PPAP, PFMEA, control plans, and process validation Proven track record driving new product introductions (NPI) from prototype through volume production Proficiency in data analysis and reporting tools (Excel, Tableau, or equivalent) to track supplier and program performance Amazon is an equal opportunity employer and does not discriminate on the basis of protected veteran status, disability, or other legally protected status. Our inclusive culture empowers Amazonians to deliver the best results for our customers.

Applicants should apply via our internal or external career site.
