We are building capabilities, tools, and mechanisms for EV Service Equipment (EVSE) to manage the transition to electric fleets. We are pioneers in this field, working without a playbook.

The Senior Program Manager for Electrification Products on the AMZL Energy & Infrastructure team will lead the application of new EVSE technologies to enable large-scale EV deployments, enhancing customer experience.

3. Validate EVSE products against internal and regulatory standards to ensure top performance.
4. Lead partnerships to ensure interoperability between EVSE, EVs, and CPOs.
5. Manage product quality, including defining specifications, creating test protocols, and ensuring interoperability with EVs and delivery systems.
6. Address field issues through failure analysis, root-cause investigation, remediation, and establishing long-term solutions. Support maintenance, troubleshooting, and operational procedures.
