We are a dynamic team of go-getters, passionately applying state-of-the-art advances in robotics and software to solve real-world challenges. These inventions are transforming our customers' experiences in ways we can't even imagine yet. We encourage new ideas and improvements daily. At Amazon Robotics, we provide the tools you need to invent with us in ways that are rewarding, fulfilling, and fun. The Robotics Systems Engineer is an integral member of the Amazon Robotics deployment team, overseeing the installation, troubleshooting, and commissioning of Amazon Robotics equipment within new and existing fulfillment centers. This field engineering-based role necessitates demonstrated technical skills, including experience with mechanical, electrical, networking, and software systems during a deployment. Although specific training is provided, candidates should have pre-existing knowledge about the basic operations of robotics and networked mechanical and electrical systems. A Systems Engineer will collaborate with a team of 1-5 engineers and an on-site project manager to provide technical oversight during the installation of robotics equipment, both third-party and Amazon-designed. The deployments require extensive collaboration with third-party installers, contracted engineers, construction, hardware, and software teams, as well as IT and other partner teams. Efficient communication skills with both internal and external partners and customers are crucial. Candidates are expected to show independent initiative in identifying and solving problems during a project and driving continuous improvement projects forward to prevent recurrence. The robotics systems deployed by the Systems Engineers may be in various stages of the product life cycle. Candidates will be expected to develop process documentation and modify existing processes in partnership with project and program managers to improve business performance and sustainability. Proven technical knowledge, a passion for field work, and a keen interest in the workings of Amazon's various robotics systems are key to success in this role. Projects can last from a few days to several months and may require travel across the US. International assignments are available for those interested. This position requires 75% travel, and a valid US driver's license is required.
