Deployment & Ramp-up Engineer, Mechatronics & Sustainable Packaging Customer Experience

Amazon is at the forefront of innovation within the space of fulfillment technology and robotics. We are
seeking an innovative and solutions-oriented Operations Engineer to be a part of our global effort to
develop and deliver the next generation of world-class technology systems inside our fulfillment centers.
In the Mechatronics & Sustainable Packaging Customer Experience organization, we have the unique
role and privilege to work backwards from our customer needs and represent their voice through the
entire products’ lifecycle (from product development, to deployment, to support & service), embodying
Amazon’s leadership principle: Customer Obsession. We raise the bar on the readiness of new
technologies in deployment and on the performance of those already in production; our mission is to
transform “stand-alone work-cells” into “end-to-end integrated solutions” that are safe, easy-to-operate,
easy-to-maintain, easy-to-deploy, and easy-to-service.
This position is responsible for the schedule, scope and cost planning for large scale fulfillment
technology and robotics projects into both live and new fulfillment centers across Europe. As an
operations engineer, your primary role is to own the coordination and execution of installation,
commissioning, and performance ramp up of the product in the field allowing the engineering and
product team to focus on the system performance improvement and optimization. In parallel to the
execution, you will be responsible for driving continuous improvement ideas into both the deployment
cycle time (safety, quality and productivity), and will be responsible for detailing engineering design
improvements to the hardware engineering and product teams, to simplify the installation. This role will
require the ability to build relationships and capture and synthesize the voice of the customer.

About the team
The CX (Customer Experience) team within Mechatronics & Sustainable Packaging
works backwards from Internal Customer insights to (1) Validate, (2) Deploy and (3) Support MSP
solutions globally, maximizing solutions readiness and customer satisfaction. MSP CX maintains unified
accountability in the field towards our internal Customers (Maintenance, Operations, ACES, Process
Engineering, GES Ops Engineering, etc.), enabling vertical integration and life-cycle management of MSP
solutions across 3 pillars: (1) Quality Assurance, (2) Deployment & Ramp-up, and (3) Support. (1) MSP CX
Quality Assurance is a new team under establishment that will own qualifying and testing MSP solutions,
and validating they are ready to launch; it will adopt a comprehensive and continuous approach to
qualification, beginning at the earliest stages of one’s lifecycle to represent Customer requirements and
continues through all future changes towards the latest stage of deprecation, working backwards from
Customer needs. This team will tightly partner both within MSP (with the product, development and
scale teams) and outside MSP (with Ops, RME, PE, ACES, GES, etc.). (2) MSP CX Deployment & Ramp-up
leads on-site implementation activities providing continuity from early field-Alphas/prototypes, through
Betas, and up to General Availability (GA) through the first few months of site ramp-up. (3) MSP CX
Support provides Technical, Safety, Operations, and Maintenance Support for MSP solutions that have
graduated to Production.
