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 Senior Supply Chain Engineer within Amazon Prime Air, you will lead supplier performance and manufacturing readiness across multiple product lines. You will drive scalable mechanisms that improve quality, cost, and delivery, while influencing sourcing strategy, design decisions, and supplier capability. Partnering closely with engineering, quality, and operations, you will enable suppliers to achieve rate, yield, and reliability targets—balancing Day 1 agility with the structure needed to scale Prime Air’s hardware production globally.
Export Control License: This position may require a deemed export control license for compliance with applicable laws and regulations. Placement is contingent on Amazon’s ability to apply for and obtain an export control license on your behalf.
Key job responsibilities
- Define supplier performance strategy across Prime Air programs—driving quality, cost, and delivery improvements through scalable mechanisms and structured governance.
- Influence design, sourcing, and manufacturing strategies through data-backed should-cost models and capability insights, shaping long-term supply decisions.
- Lead multi-supplier readiness and rate-scaling initiatives, ensuring alignment to roadmap, capacity, and launch objectives across product lines.
- Govern complex technical changes and manufacturing validations, ensuring design intent, reliability, and rate readiness across multiple suppliers.
- Own cross-functional program integration, coordinating engineering, quality, and operations deliverables to ensure synchronized ramp and readiness milestones.
- Establish global supplier health and risk frameworks, driving standardization, visibility, and accountability across the supply base.
- Drive systemic improvement programs that eliminate recurring issues and raise overall supplier maturity.
- Mentor and develop engineers and partner teams, embedding scalable mechanisms and operational rigor into daily execution.

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.
