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 a mechanical equipment subject matter expert for our installation programs, providing technical leadership across the full portfolio of equipment.

If you have spent your career with installing or keeping MHE running, you know exactly which installation shortcuts 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 assembled, aligned, torqued, and turned over, preventing reliability problems before the equipment ever runs its first package.

You will own mechanical 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 equipment, translating equipment expertise into task-level installation procedures with torque specifications, alignment tolerances, assembly sequences, and acceptance criteria
• Author and maintain mechanical installation standards and pre-turnover punch list criteria for all OMHS equipment types.
• Apply failure mode knowledge from equipment service history to identify the installation practices that drive long-term reliability, and build them into every job plan
• Validate mechanical installation work in the field; identify deficiencies, document findings, and drive corrective action to closure
• Partner with site installation teams to interpret engineering drawings, resolve field fit-up issues, and validate alignment and tolerance requirements
• Develop mechanical commissioning protocols and equipment turnover packages that set up site RME teams for success from day one
• Collaborate with the rest of the team to create integrated system acceptance packages
• Analyze early-life failures to identify systemic installation quality gaps and feed corrections back into job plans
• Create training content for field supervisors and 3P crews on mechanical installation quality expectations
• Represent OMHS I&D in cross-functional forums with Design Engineering, RME, and Construction on mechanical installation best practices

Basic Qualifications

• 5+ years of directly managing and responsible for multiple large projects experience
• 5+ years of Reliability Program Manager experience
• 5+ years of Microsoft Office products and applications experience
• 5+ years of maintenance or engineering experience
• 5+ years of directly managing and being responsible for multiple large projects experience
• 3+ years of in material handling equipment (MHE) or automation environments experience, or experience in reliability/maintenance environments
• 3+ years of leading cross-functional teams across engineering, operations, and field execution through launch readiness and go-live phases experience
• 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

• Master's degree in engineering, mechanical, operations, supply chain, business administration, or equivalent STEM field
• 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
