Job description

Description

Amazon’s One Material Handling System (OMHS) team is seeking a Senior Industrial Design Engineer (IDE III) to serve as the design authority for complete facility material handling systems. In this role, you will own the end-to-end Firm Engineering (FE) package for ARS Gen14 or SSD facilities—resolving all integration challenges across mechanical, electrical, controls, and structural disciplines for Amazon’s most advanced fulfillment technologies, including Matrix Storage and Advanced Material Transport & Sortation. As an IDE III, you are the single-threaded technical owner for a complete building’s material handling system (LOD 300–400). You ensure the design is constructable, operable, and scalable—partitioning work across junior IDEs while maintaining architectural coherence, leading cross-functional design reviews, driving design standardization across the portfolio, and serving as the primary technical interface with WWDE, Electrical Engineering, I&D installation teams, and service provider engineering partners.

Key job responsibilities

• You will serve as the single-threaded technical owner ensuring the design is constructable, operable, and scalable for your assigned facility.
• You will take end-to-end ownership of full-site MHE system design—resolving all integration challenges across mechanical, electrical, controls, and structural disciplines.
• You will partition design work so that junior IDE team members can work in parallel on sub-systems while you maintain architectural coherence and lead the integration of their outputs into a unified site design.
• You will serve as the primary technical interface with WWDE, Electrical Engineering, I&D installation teams, and service provider engineering partners for your assigned projects.
• You will lead design reviews with cross-functional stakeholders and translate business requirements into actionable engineering specifications that accommodate both Amazon standards and site‑specific constraints.
• You will drive design standardization—taking lessons from each site to improve templates and reduce engineering hours for subsequent projects.
• You will produce designs that pass Quality Engineering (QE) gates with high first-pass quality, demonstrating the "Quality by Design" principle.
• You will resolve conflicts between disciplines (e.g., structural steel interfering with transport routing, electrical capacity limiting storage configuration, structure placement constraining conveyance paths).
• You will contribute to product roadmap decisions for OMHS technologies and stay current on MHE industry trends, evaluating which technologies are appropriate for Amazon's scale.
• You will actively mentor IDE IIs and provide technical assessments for promotions.
• You will leverage intelligent design tooling (CADalyst) and engineering documentation standards to deliver validated, standards‑compliant design packages.

A day in the life

Lead the technical design of Amazon's next-generation material handling systems—owning the full Firm Engineering package from concept through construction-ready documentation. Collaborate daily with WWDE, Electrical Engineering, and service provider partners to resolve cross-discipline integration challenges. Conduct design reviews, validate solutions against equipment specifications and site constraints, and partition work across your IDE team to deliver high‑quality designs on schedule. Interface with cross‑functional stakeholders to ensure designs meet operational requirements while driving standardization that scales across the OMHS portfolio.

About The Team

One Material Handling System (OMHS) is building Amazon's in‑house material handling capabilities, transforming how Amazon designs, builds, and operates its fulfillment facilities. As Amazon's internal material handling system integrator, we combine precision in technical design engineering with the vision needed to revolutionize our material handling capabilities. Our IDE team owns the design authority—determining what gets built through engineering drawings, specifications, and system architectures for Amazon's most advanced fulfillment technologies, including Matrix Storage and Advanced Material Transport & Sortation. We are building the engineering capability to design, integrate, and deploy material handling systems at network scale with predictable quality and timeline.

Basic Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Engineering or a foreign equivalent
• 7+ years of experience in MHE system design, industrial engineering, or systems integration
• Experience designing full‑site material handling systems at construction‑ready level of detail (LOD 300–400)
• Experience in management of engineering design projects with cross‑discipline coordination
• Experience using CAD software (AutoCAD, Revit, SolidWorks, or CREO) and engineering analysis tools

Preferred Qualifications

• Master's degree in Engineering or a foreign equivalent
• Experience with complex automated material handling equipment including conveyance, sortation, ASRS, and robotic systems at warehouse/fulfillment scale
• Experience partitioning design work across engineering teams and leading design reviews for multi‑discipline integration
• Knowledge of system architecture, material flow simulation, BIM coordination, and design‑for‑constructability principles
• Experience developing reusable design templates, engineering standards, or design automation tools that scale across multiple concurrent projects
