Job summary

Amazon is seeking a Reliability Engineer within the New Technology Introduction (NTI) team to serve as the reliability SME for emerging automation and robotics across the North American network. You will shape reliability standards, work with development teams to improve maintainability, and help evolve standards for scalable, supportable systems.

You will partner with engineering teams, vendors, and operations partners to ensure designs meet RME reliability requirements, while balancing

Qualifications

Bachelor's degree in mechanical or electrical engineering (or equivalent) or 5+ years of professional experience.
3+ years of reliability or maintenance engineering experience in manufacturing, logistics, automation, or industrial environments.
3+ years applying reliability engineering principles including FMEA, reliability modeling, and life cycle analysis.
Experience developing and implementing maintenance programs for complex technical systems.

Responsibilities

Lead reliability assessments and design reviews for new automation and robotics technologies, identifying gaps in maintainability, serviceability, and reliability and working with development teams to resolve them before deployment.
Define and maintain reliability standards, maintenance strategies, and serviceability requirements — updating them as new technology types reveal gaps.
Conduct FMEA, reliability modelling, and life cycle cost analysis, tracking MTBF, MTTR, availability, and maintainability KPIs.
Partner with engineering teams, vendors, and stakeholders to represent RME reliability requirements during design, pilot, and full-scale rollout phases.
Develop preventive maintenance programs, spare parts strategies, and maintenance documentation for new technologies.
Investigate equipment failures and performance degradation to identify root causes, drive solutions with development teams, and update standards to prevent re-occurrence across the network.
Monitor reliability performance metrics, identify recurring issues, and drive improvements back into standards and readiness criteria.
Identify where maintenance processes are overly complex or inconsistent, and drive simplification through updated standards and common requirements.
