Please note that by applying to this role you would be considered for Robotics Systems Engineer 2026 summer intern, spring co-op, and fall co-op roles on the Robotics Deployment Engineering team.
The Robotics System Engineer Intern/Co-op plays a crucial role in the Amazon Robotics deployment team. They work alongside a team who oversees the installation, troubleshooting, integration, and commissioning of Amazon Robotics equipment in new and existing fulfillment centers (FCs).

This field engineering based position demands strong technical skills for deploying robotic equipment, including working with mechanical systems, electrical, configuring networking, and coordinating software systems. While training is provided on the specific systems that the engineers will be working on, a candidate should have foundational knowledge of robotics, networked mechanical systems, and electrical systems.
The Robotics System Engineer Intern/Co-op will work with a team of 1-5 engineers and collaborate with an on-site project manager to provide technical oversight on the installation of both third party and Amazon designed robotics equipment.

These deployments require extensive collaboration with various stakeholders, including third-party installers, contracted engineers, construction, hardware, software, IT, and other partner teams. Strong communication skills are essential for interacting with both internal and external partners and customers. As an Amazonian the candidate must demonstrate independent initiative to identify and solve problems in real time during deployments.

They will also drive continuous improvement initiatives to avoid recurrences.
The Robotics System Engineer Intern/Co-op will be deploying the robotic systems in various phases of a product life cycle. When supporting new products, the candidate is required to lead the development of process documentation and modifying the existing processes.

Strong technical understanding, love for field work, and a keen interest in diving deep into the understanding of Amazon's robotics systems are key attributes for this role. As an Amazonian, the ability to recognize process gaps and take ownership in developing solutions are important. Project duration can range from a few days to several months and include travel across the US.

International work is available for candidates interested in pursuing. This position requires 75% travel. Valid US drivers' license required.
