Job description

Description

OMHS Integration & Deployment is building the team that installs and commissions Amazon's next-generation material handling systems. We are looking for an electrical installation subject matter expert for our installation programs, providing technical leadership across the full portfolio of equipment.

If you have spent your career installing or maintaining electrical systems on industrial equipment, you know exactly which wiring shortcuts, grounding omissions, and termination errors cause the failures maintenance teams live with for years. This role puts that knowledge at the front of the equipment lifecycle. You will develop the installation job plans that define how Amazon's material handling equipment gets wired, terminated, grounded, and energized, preventing reliability and safety problems before the equipment ever runs its first package.

You will own electrical installation quality end-to-end: authoring installation job plans and standards, validating contractor execution against them, and driving continuous improvement as system complexity scales.

Key job responsibilities

• Develop installation job plans for MHE electrical systems, translating equipment expertise into task-level installation procedures and acceptance criteria
• Author and maintain electrical installation standards and pre-turnover punch list criteria for all OMHS equipment types, ensuring alignment with industry and Amazon-specific requirements
• Apply failure mode knowledge from equipment service history to identify the installation practices that drive long-term electrical reliability, and build them into job plans
• Audit electrical installation work in the field and identify deficiencies, document findings, and drive corrective action to closure
• Partner with site installation teams to interpret electrical drawings, resolve field routing and termination issues, and validate compliance with specifications and code requirements
• Collaborate with the rest of the team to create integrated system acceptance packages
• Analyze early-life electrical failures to identify systemic installation quality gaps and feed corrections back into job plans and standards
• Create training content for field supervisors and installation crews on electrical installation quality expectations and code compliance.
• Represent OMHS I&D in cross-functional forums with Design Engineering, RME, and Construction on electrical installation best practices and standards compliance

Basic Qualifications

• 5+ years of Microsoft Office products and applications experience
• 5+ years of maintenance or engineering experience
• 3+ years of in material handling equipment (MHE) or automation environments experience, or experience in reliability/maintenance environments
• Bachelor's degree in Electrical or Mechanical Engineering, Engineering Technology, Reliability Engineering, or 2+ years of Amazon RME (BB/3P) Full Time Exempt experience
• Experience and strong technical background in relevant fields of automated or non-automated material handling equipment

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience in Lean Management, Six Sigma and other operations engineer tools
• Experience building launch readiness frameworks, standard work, playbooks, and scalable deployment mechanisms across multiple concurrent sites
• Experience with performance metrics such as OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness), downtime, throughput, or quality
• Experience in Amazon RME (Reliability, Maintenance, and Engineering), fulfillment operations, or automation deployment environments
