Robotics Systems Engineer II, Amazon Robotics - Tech Deployment

About the role

Join Amazon's Robotics (AR) Technology Deployment team within Amazon Robotics (AR) organization to deploy robotics across North America's fulfillment network. In AR TD, we have the unique role and privilege of deploying leading edge industrial robotics and customer fulfillment technologies across the North America Stores operations. We raise the bar on the speed, quality and cost of deploying industrial technologies at scale across North America, functioning as the field team who plan, execute, and launch the technologies that our internal design and product strategy partners in AR develop.

Responsibilities

• Oversee large scale project planning, installation, and launch of industrial automation technologies across Amazon's growing Stores network.
• Deploy robotic equipment, including mechanical and electrical systems, network configurations, and software coordination.
• Work with cross-functional partners across the Amazon Fulfillment Technology & Robotics engineering, safety, product strategy, software, supply chain, third-party installers, contracted deployment engineers, construction teams, and internal operations customer teams, functioning as the lead on-site project manager to provide technical oversight on installation Amazon-designed automation equipment.
• Manage the tactical deployment of large scale industrial automation technologies, ranging in technical complexity and product maturity from early alpha/beta to mature Generally Available.
• Collaborate with hardware engineering, technical program managers, product managers, and internal customers including site maintenance and operations teams to convert technical requirements into refined deployment execution documents (schedules, Standard Operating Procedures, dependencies, etc.).
• Drive continuous improvement ideas into both the deployment cycle time (safety, quality and productivity), and share engineering design improvements feedback to the hardware engineering and product teams, to simplify the installation.
• Manage the day-to-day project execution, and work on continuous improvement activities to improve deployment execution first pass yield.
• Develop subject matter expertise in one or more deployment domains.
• Mentor junior engineers and participate in technical assessment.
