Are you an engineer looking for more challenging and impactful work? Do you thrive on solving complex technical problems while keeping customer success at the forefront? If so, Amazon has the perfect opportunity for you!

Amazon Robotics is growing its Technical Support Engineering team in London, and we’re looking for talented engineers to join us. Our team brings together deep technical expertise, a passion for problem-solving, and a commitment to operational excellence—keeping over one million Amazon Robotics systems running 24/7.

New to robotics? No problem! We value your strong technical expertise in other domains and provide the training you need to succeed. Join us at Amazon Robotics and see how your work can drive innovation and make a real impact!

Key job responsibilities:

1. Service Restoration: Investigate and resolve technical issues through our in-house ticketing system. Leverage data sources and logs to diagnose hardware or software faults within the Amazon Robotics environment, including robotics performance issues, server disruptions affecting robot navigation, and robotic station malfunctions.
2. Collaboration: Work closely with on-site robotics technicians and engineers, guiding their troubleshooting efforts. Partner with software development engineers to ensure seamless integration and functionality of the code that powers our robotic systems.
3. High-Severity Calls: Play a key role in resolving critical issues impacting the customer experience. Participate in live troubleshooting sessions via conference bridge, coordinate resolution efforts, and escalate when necessary. Use logs, dashboards, and data dumps to pinpoint problematic components and develop mitigation strategies.
4. Process Improvement & Automation: Drive continuous improvement by refining processes and procedures, contributing to internal projects, and identifying opportunities for automation—enhancing efficiency for both our team and our customers.

About the team:
We are Amazon’s top-tier robotics problem solvers. As a global team of robotic systems specialists across the US, EU, and APAC, we are expanding our presence in London to support our 24/7 global operations.

In this role, you will provide remote technical support through tickets and voice communication, ensuring the reliability and performance of our robotics systems. To set you up for success, we offer comprehensive internal training, hands-on mentorship both onsite and remotely, and additional training at customer locations.
