About the Team

OTS Design Execution (ODX) is an internal telecoms design team within Operations Technology Solutions (OTS), and is a mix of program managers, BIM technicians, wireless design engineers, and technical specialists. Our mission is to provide physical telecoms and wireless design expertise across all programs — new builds, retrofits, expansions, and initiatives — increasing the quality of physical deployments against OTS engineering standards and reducing post-deployment defects. We work closely with internal Amazon teams and external design vendors globally to optimise designs, set standards, and drive innovation. The team is focused on telecoms design optimisation, design quality assurance, and vendor management. We are actively investing in AI-driven automation and tooling to streamline our workflows, reduce manual effort, and allow our engineers to focus on solving complex design problems rather than repetitive tasks.

A Day in the Life

The successful candidate will work on ODX initiatives and goals to optimise the telecoms designs for our fulfilment centre network. You will work with internal Amazon and external vendor design key stakeholders globally to innovate and set standards. You will lead workshops to drive unity to our goals and deliver results. You will be a technical leader and a key point of contact for telecoms design technical escalations from within DPM but also the wider business. No two days look the same: you might be resolving a technical design query from a vendor in APAC in the morning, reviewing AI-flagged QC exceptions over lunch, and presenting a design standard update to a cross-functional forum in the afternoon. You will collaborate daily with BIM technicians, external design partners, TIPMs, and engineering teams across the globe.
