The Role:

Amazon Design Technologies is a multi-disciplinary group within Amazon Devices that builds and provides engineering tools and workflows, software systems and integrations, automations, and design services to hardware engineering teams across Amazon. We manage enterprise engineering systems, CAD tools, PDM/PLM systems, High Performance Compute (HPC) environments, and license management/procurement.

We are looking for an MCAD Application Engineer with deep expertise in the PTC Creo suite of applications - specifically Creo Parametric, Creo Simulation Live, Creo View, and Windchill - to play a key role in customizing and extending the MCAD applications used at Amazon. Our team is uniquely positioned at the intersection of hardware design and artificial intelligence, pioneering AI-based design review and design generation capabilities that will transform how engineers create next-generation products.

This role will be instrumental in developing and evangelizing industry best practices in mechanical product design, driving collaboration with manufacturing partners, and optimizing processes across hardware engineering workflows. You will partner closely with cross-functional teams to ensure design intent is maintained from concept through production.
