DescriptionAmazon is seeking exceptional talent to help develop the next generation of advanced robotics systems that will transform automation at Amazon's scale. We're building revolutionary robotic systems that combine cutting-edge AI, sophisticated control systems, and advanced mechanical design to create adaptable automation solutions capable of working safely alongside humans in dynamic environments. This is a unique opportunity to shape the future of robotics and automation at an unprecedented scale, working with world-class teams pushing the boundaries of what's possible in robotic manipulation, locomotion, and human-robot interaction. We are looking for a Senior Industrial Engineer to own end-to-end site and factory layout management, building-level design through campus-level master planning for our manufacturing operations. In this role, you will design, optimize, and scale manufacturing facilities by integrating production systems, material flow, warehouse operations, and site infrastructure into a cohesive, efficient layout. You will combine industrial engineering expertise with data-driven analysis and cross-functional partnership to support large-scale manufacturing growth. This is a high-growth, fast-evolving environment, and you will need to be comfortable with ambiguity while building scalable systems and standards. You will work backwards from operational and business requirements, use data to drive layout decisions, and influence stakeholders from the shop floor to senior leadership. Key job responsibilities

• Lead factory layout design across manufacturing lines, warehouse/storage areas, material flow, people flow, and ancillary/support spaces.
• Develop long-term site master plans to support phased capacity expansion and future scalability.
• Define and implement layout governance and standards, including change management, visual factory standards, drafting standards, and layout processes.
• Create and maintain block layouts and detailed 2D/3D layouts aligned with the Plan of Record (POR) and business requirements.
• Design and optimize end-to-end material flow, including inbound, internal logistics (WIP), and outbound finished-goods flow.
• Own overall site layout, including building placement, external logistics flow (truck movement, dock doors, yards), utilities, and infrastructure planning.
• Optimize dock utilization, yard flow, and transportation interfaces to improve site-level logistics efficiency.
• Partner with cross-functional teams (Manufacturing, Operations, Supply Chain, Facilities, Construction, EHS) to align on layout requirements and ensure seamless execution. Perform data-driven analysis to optimize space utilization, flow efficiency, labor productivity, and cost.
• Develop and integrate Plan for Every Part (PFEP) into layout decisions, including storage strategy, packaging, and line-side delivery.
• Define and track layout performance metrics, including flow distance, aisle utilization, space density, throughput, and bottlenecks.
• Support capacity planning and modeling using OEE, cycle-time analysis, and throughput simulations.
• Drive factory densification initiatives by eliminating non-value-added movement and improving layout efficiency.
• Support installation, commissioning, and layout validation during site construction and production ramp-up.
• Translate complex layout and operational data into clear, executive-level insights to support strategic decisions.

Basic Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree or above in Industrial Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or other STEM field
• 7+ years of experience in site/factory layout planning, industrial engineering, or manufacturing systems.
• Experience in large-scale manufacturing environments (e.g., automotive, battery, energy, or heavy industry).
• Strong understanding of site planning, material flow, and facility design principles.
• Experience using data and analysis to drive decisions and influence cross-functional stakeholders.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience in site development and large-scale factory ramp-up.
• Proven experience in site master planning, including yard design, dock strategy, and infrastructure planning.
• Hands-on experience with PFEP, warehouse design, and material handling systems (AGVs, AMRs, conveyors).
• Proficiency with layout tools such as AutoCAD, Revit, Inventor, AutoCAD Construction Cloud (ACC), or similar 2D/3D design software.
• Experience with simulation tools (e.g., FlexSim) for factory and logistics modeling.
• Strong knowledge of capacity modeling and industrial engineering methodologies (OEE, line balancing, takt time, cycle-time analysis).
• Experience partnering with construction and facilities teams on site execution and infrastructure integration.
• Familiarity with safety, environmental, and regulatory considerations in site design.
• Excellent communication skills, with the ability to influence stakeholders from the shop floor to executive leadership.
