Operations Engineer, Last Mile Engineering Solutions

Job ID: 10585211 | Amazon.com Services LLC

Application deadline: Oct 26, 2026
Are you energized by solving real-world engineering challenges that directly improve safety, quality, and productivity for customers? As an Operations Engineer at Amazon, you will manage the lifecycle of greenfield and brownfield projects — from initial design through installation and qualification. You will collaborate with cross-functional partners including Engineering, Safety, Supply Chain, Finance, and Operations to deliver solutions on time and within budget. This is a great opportunity to join a growing team that is expanding its project portfolio, where your ability to navigate change, solve problems, and drive results will have a visible impact on how Amazon serves its customers.

Key job responsibilities

• Manage the lifecycle of facility projects from design through installation and qualification, delivering building and system solutions such as racking, shelving, storage, and work cells per established standards


• Collaborate with cross-functional stakeholders — including Engineering, Safety, Supply Chain, Finance, vendors, and Operations — to set priorities, establish milestones, and drive project schedules


• Validate stakeholder designs and customer requirements, identify technical deficiencies, and resolve basic system problems while learning root cause analysis techniques


• Provide clear and timely project status updates, risk analyses, and mitigation plans to leadership, ensuring the right information reaches the right audience at the right time

A day in the life

You start your day reviewing project schedules and coordinating with operations teams and contractors on active installation or qualification activities. You might spend the morning facilitating a planning meeting with stakeholders, aligning on objectives and next steps, then publishing detailed notes to drive accountability. In the afternoon, you could be on-site validating equipment designs against customer requirements, identifying a gap, and working with a vendor to develop a practical workaround. Between meetings, you use tools like Smartsheet and Autodesk to update timelines, track milestones, and flag risks before they become blockers.
