Role summary
Amazon is seeking an innovative and experienced Design Engineering professional to design the next generation of global fulfillment and logistics systems. This role involves owning multiple projects from concept to approval, collaborating with internal and external teams, and serving as the primary technical contact for suppliers. The engineer will work on diverse projects including green-field, brown-field, and retrofit facilities, leveraging expertise in automated material handling, packaging technologies, and robotics. The position requires a Bachelor's degree in Engineering and 3+ years of relevant experience, with a preferred Master's degree and knowledge of system architecture, optimization, and Lean Principles. This is a hybrid role based in Bellevue, WA.
We’re looking to add a handful of high-impact engineers to our team. In this role, you will collaborate with internal and external teams to design high quality, cost effective solutions for our fulfillment and distribution systems. You will own multiple projects simultaneously, from concept realization through design approval. You will be our suppliers’ primary point of technical contact for your projects. Then, once the design is completed and approved, you will hand-off the project to our Ops Engineering team who will oversee the installation and commissioning of the project. You’ll support that team to ensure that the system you’ve designed is successfully installed, commissioned and launched.
Your projects may include green-fields, brown-fields, and retrofits, including highly automated fulfillment centers, cross-dock facilities, and transportation centers. Your projects will be a variety of template-based and designed-from-scratch.
You will work with a team of highly skilled and highly engaged engineers in a fast-paced and often ambiguous environment. Our team works on hundreds of projects each year. You will be challenged; you will learn; you will work on high impact, high visibility projects; you will grow.
