Amazon Prime Air Supply Chain Engineer

Here at Amazon, we embrace our differences. We are committed to furthering our culture of diversity and inclusion of our teams within the organization. How do you get items to customers quickly, cost-effectively, and—most importantly—safely, in less than an hour? And how do you do it in a way that can scale? Our teams of hundreds of scientists, engineers, aerospace professionals, and futurists have been working hard to do just that! We are delivering to customers, and are excited for what's to come.

If you are seeking an iterative environment where you can drive innovation, apply state-of-the-art technologies to solve real world delivery challenges, and provide benefits to customers, Prime Air is the place for you. Come work on the Amazon Prime Air Team!

Prime Air is seeking an experienced Supply Chain Engineer who combines technical and analytical capabilities with a demonstrated ability to get the right things done quickly and effectively. We're looking for people who innovate and love solving hard problems. You will work hard, have fun, and of course, make history!

As a Supply Chain Engineer within Amazon Prime Air, you will own supplier performance across quality, cost, and schedule. You will partner closely with cross-functional teams to ensure our suppliers can meet production rate, scale, and quality targets while supporting new product introductions and sustaining operations.

Key job responsibilities:

• Own supplier performance across quality, cost, and schedule
• Develop and maintain manufacturing documentation (process flows, build instructions, PFMEAs, and control plans) to enable consistent and repeatable production.
• Assess and qualify supplier manufacturing capability to meet design intent, production rate, and scalability requirements through detailed process reviews and onsite audits.
• Build and own should-cost models for key components and assemblies; partner with engineering, sourcing, and finance to identify cost drivers and opportunities for value engineering.
• Lead technical program management for supplier-driven workstreams, aligning build readiness, material availability, and design milestones.
• Review and approve manufacturing process changes, ensuring design compliance, risk mitigation, and smooth implementation through structured change management.
• Plan and execute supplier ramp-ups and new product introductions, coordinating technical readiness, pilot builds, and early production validation.
• Establish performance tracking mechanisms for yield, throughput, and process capability; leverage metrics to identify and close performance gaps.
• Drive root-cause and corrective action activities to resolve quality, delivery, and process issues while enabling long-term improvements.
• Collaborate cross-functionally with design engineering, sourcing, quality, and operations to align supplier strategy with product and program objectives.
• Develop and deploy scalable mechanisms to monitor, report, and continuously improve supplier manufacturing performance.

A day in the life:

Each day blends Day 1 innovation with disciplined execution. You'll shift between solving urgent supplier issues, building scalable mechanisms, and aligning hardware production across teams. One hour you're deep in yield data or a cost model; the next, you're on the factory floor driving readiness. This role thrives in ambiguity—turning chaos into structure, and structure into scalable systems that deliver quality, cost, and schedule at speed.

About the team:

Our team thrives on collaboration, ownership, and technical excellence. We're a group of self-motivated leaders with deep manufacturing expertise who take on complex challenges, work together to remove obstacles, and deliver meaningful results at scale.
