Operations Engineer, GEMS NA Ops Engineering
role at
Amazon
Amazon created one of the most sophisticated supply chains in the world. From the introduction of Amazon Prime to the use of advanced technology for package delivery, Amazon consistently drives change from the front of the pack.
Key Responsibilities
Work independently with internal and external teams to successfully manage the lifecycle of challenging projects, and act as owner in delivering on project objectives and targets. Projects may span organizations or geographies in support of business objectives.
Actively participate in firm engineering reviews, and make tangible impact on the proposed solutions on an individual system or its components, on the overall systems architecture, and on facility processes.
Partner with internal teams, stakeholders, and external vendors to set project priorities, establish milestones, and drive schedules to meet deadlines. Proactively assess stakeholders’ dependencies and milestones, problem‑solve and drive solutions to mitigate impact from issues.
Lead and coordinate all execution efforts in delivering systems and automated equipment designs per established standards and guidelines. Perform equipment/system installation, throughput and safety qualifications. Simplify, optimize, remove bottlenecks and provide feedback while resolving difficult system problems or technical deficiencies.
Lead effective meetings by setting the objectives, putting the right people in the room and driving detailed business and technical discussions/alignment. Document meeting discussions, decisions and future steps, ensuring alignment on expectations with internal partner teams and outside vendors.
Promptly and accurately communicate project status, risk analysis and risk mitigation plans. Effectively answer project questions in detail, and regularly produce clear and concise summaries for the project to leadership/management team.
Competently articulate system and/or equipment designs, including layouts, technical specifications and functional capabilities to internal customers and partner teams.
Efficiently manage change order controls, purchase orders, and invoice validation/approvals.
Excel at building strong working relationships with internal and external stakeholders across multiple projects.
Identify and lead process improvement initiatives that improve the Engineering and cross‑team efficiencies, optimizing the teams’ value and delivery.
Day in the Life You are managing one or multiple projects that can vary in scope, complexity and duration. Daily tasks may comprise site coordination with operations teams and contractors on project execution activities or changes; deep‑diving project progress, schedule and resources while identifying barriers, creating solutions and driving resolutions. You may facilitate planning and/or implementation meetings with project stakeholders, ensuring alignment in objectives, expectations and next steps, and capture and publish detailed notes after each meeting to drive ownership and follow‑through on the actions and decisions. Reviewing and approving Sorter System Functional specification documents, tracking on‑time creation of sorter configurations, and providing workaround solutions to mitigate project delays or design issues are essential tasks. During acceptance testing you may perform system installation quality, safety, throughput, and performance qualifications, frequently communicating progress to internal and external stakeholders. You may also support/training other engineering team members, utilizing Amazon’s safety, mechanical, electrical and controls installation standards and guidelines.
