System Development Engineer, Tech Deploy - Systems Integration
Work hard. Have fun. Make history. Our overall mission is simple: we want Amazon to be the place where our customers can find, discover, and buy anything online. Whatever our customers want, we will find the means to deliver it.
As a result of continued growth, our Technology Deployment - Systems Integration team is now searching for an innovative and solutions-oriented Systems Development Engineer to be part of our global initiative of developing and delivering the next generation of world‑class fulfillment systems through advanced technology.
Successful candidates are natural self‑starters with prior engineering experience in the integrated automation project life cycle, including design, development, implementation, enhancement, and provision. System Development Engineers (SysDE’s) will be part of a new product/technology development cycle and responsible for successful delivery of equipment for further testing and evaluation. They will serve as liaison between Fulfillment Center Operations and product development engineers.
This role requires the ability to build relationships across a cross‑functional team and capture and synthesize the voice of the customer. Your primary goal is to own the development and improvement of the deployment process, validating and testing processes through lab and field activities. You will integrate, deploy, and troubleshoot advanced technology systems, providing feedback and iterating with internal and external partners.
As a working leader you will implement complex system designs and advanced technology in ambiguous, complex problem spaces. You integrate systems for safety, security, stability, and efficiency. You participate in the full system development life cycle, including test plan execution and solution quality.
You must be responsive, flexible, and succeed within an open partnership‑focused environment. Amazon’s culture encourages innovation and expects engineers to take high‑level ownership in solving complex problems.
Come help us make history!
Key Job Responsibilities
Support the installation of complex cross‑functional projects with considerable impact. Projects may span organizations or geographies in support of business goals.
Work with internal and external engineering teams to successfully deliver cross‑functional projects of high quality (on‑time, on‑budget, maintainable, low‑defects).
Contribute to project priorities, establish milestones, and drive schedules to meet deadlines. Establish, capture, and present KPI metrics to evaluate success and failure of the project.
Responsible for deep‑dive technical solutions that encompass advanced technology applications, conveyor hardware selection, material handling integration, and commissioning content and expectations.
Participate in design reviews and support execution efforts between internal teams and outside vendors, including equipment specifications, material flow, process design, and site layout.
Communicate project status, answer project questions in detail, and regularly produce clear concise summaries for your program management team.
Capture and synthesize the Voice of Customer (VoC) for all new product introductions and leverage this information to prioritize system defects and influence triage efforts with Product Development teams.
Build strong relationships with Fulfillment Center and Sort Center management, operations teams across multiple sites, and with Facilities, Finance, Safety, Process Engineers and other stakeholders.
Identify process improvement initiatives supporting operations, deployment, or engineering teams within a geographic node.
Develop cross‑functional knowledge of Operations and Engineering team systems, processes, procedures, and tools.
Collaborate with internal teams and external vendors to generate high‑quality, cost‑effective solutions with quick turnaround.
Travel up to 75% throughout North America, varying by peak seasons.
