You will collaborate with cross-functional teams - including propulsion, structures, firmware, software, safety, certification, production - to design, develop, and implement mechanical solutions at the hardware level and meet the highest standards of safety and reliability at the drone level. This role requires strong mechanical design knowledge, expertise, ownership, and judgement to balance cost, reliability, manufacturability and serviceability. ### Key job responsibilities - Design mechanical hardware, assemblies, fixtures, or test equipment for avionics hardware. - Create and release 3D models, drawings, specifications, and other engineering documentation. - Perform engineering analysis and calculations to support design decisions and verify performance. - Develop and execute tests to characterize mechanical hardware, validate designs, and investigate failures. - Participate in design reviews and communicate technical decisions, risks, and tradeoffs. - Drive Design for Manufacturability (DFM) and Design for Reliability (DFR) with fabrication, assembly, and qualification vendors. - Drive manufacturing, in-service, and reliability initiatives for avionics hardware in production. - Troubleshoot hardware issues using data and first-principles engineering. - Support hardware development from early prototype through qualification, production, and flight stages. - Work directly with engineers, technicians, machinists, suppliers, and other partners. - Develop increasing technical ownership of hardware and engineering decisions as experience grows. ### A day in the life Our team is empowered to assess, judge, decide and move between analysis, design, and validation challenges with bias to action. The goal is to make sound engineering decisions throughout the product lifetime. You might begin the morning analyzing requirements, review test data, update a CAD model based on what you learned. You could work alongside peers to evaluate a design change, or resolve competing packaging requirements. You may spend the afternoon troubleshooting a hardware failure, preparing for a design review, working with a supplier, or developing a test fixture. ### About the team Prime Air is Amazon's autonomous drone delivery service. Our mission is to build a safe, ultra-fast, and convenient drone delivery system that transforms the way packages are delivered to customers worldwide. Avionics Hardware Team at Prime Air develops and sustains Electrical and Electronics (EE) Hardware for the avionics systems of autonomous drones - including flight computers, air data sensors, cameras, radars, lighting systems, and electrical wiring interconnect systems - at Amazon's delivery scale. ## At a glance - Posted by the employer: Sep 28, 2026 - First seen by OpenNash: Oct 11, 2026 - Last checked: Oct 18, 2026 - Listed for: 20 days - Location: US, WA, Seattle[Apply on Amazon’s careers site →](https://www.amazon.jobs/en/jobs/10562244/mechanical-hardware-engineer-prime-air-avionics-hardware) ## More jobs at Amazon ### [Director of Maintenance, Prime Air, Drone Delivery](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/amazon/jobs/08910a685899ab8e2642/) US, WA, Seattle ### [GPV Lab Metrology Technician, PQ (Program)](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/amazon/jobs/1da23bb1f131b1c1bef6/) US, WA, Seattle ### [Manufacturing Engineer; Mechanical Component, Hardware Engineering Thermal & Mechanical](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/amazon/jobs/ba0f28ee00e6a84d25a1/) US, WA, Seattle ### [Mechanical Engineer - Thermal Analysis, Amazon Prime Air, Drone Delivery](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/amazon/jobs/42389638ee00e80d0a65/) US, WA, Seattle ### [Product Lifecycle Mechanical Engineer, DCE - Mechanical Products & Services (MPS)](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/amazon/jobs/9f668859dcaccd2ab087/) US, WA, Seattle ## Similar jobs at other companies ### [Mechanical Design Engineer: Robotics Hardware Engineering, DFMA](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/meta-platforms/jobs/de356fd45662fb35e041/) Meta Platforms · Redmond, WA ### [Intern Hardware Engineer (Electronics Engineer)](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/qualcomm/jobs/3b814255d6d8bcedb667/) Qualcomm · Tijuana, Baja California, Mexico ### [Hardware Engineer](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/lockheed-martin/jobs/54f225748c329b795f11/) Lockheed Martin · Littleton, CO ### [Mechanical Engineer, Data Systems Hardware](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/meta-platforms/jobs/a824cfe63ca43d805c31/) Meta Platforms · Pittsburgh, PA +1 more ### [Hardware, Mechanical Power Engineer - Federal Customer](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/dell-technologies/jobs/f16531675a476b221d70/) Dell Technologies · Mclean, VA, United States [Jobs in Seattle, WA](/locations/us/wa/seattle/)[Jobs in Washington](/locations/us-wa/)[Skilled Trades & Maintenance jobs](/functions/skilled-trades-maintenance/) OpenNash lists jobs from employers’ own careers sites and does not handle applications.
