Industrial Engineer II, Layout

Amazon is seeking exceptional talent to help develop the next generation of advanced robotics systems that will transform automation at Amazons scale. Were 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 whats possible in robotic manipulation locomotion and human-robot interaction.

We are looking for an Industrial Engineer to own site and factory layout management building-level design through campus-level master planning for our manufacturing 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.

- Help 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 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.
- 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.

- Bachelors degree or above in Industrial Engineering Mechanical Engineering or other STEM field
- 5 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).
- Understanding of site planning material flow and facility design principles.
- Experience using data and analysis to drive decisions and influence cross-functional stakeholders.

- Experience in site development and large-scale factory ramp-up.
- Experience in site master planning including yard design dock strategy and infrastructure planning.
- 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.
