Deployment Execution Engineer, First Deployment Execution

Amazon is seeking an experienced business-oriented Deployment Engineer to support the delivery of large-scale and highly complex logistic process automation and storage initiatives for the continued expansion of our fulfilment network.

Ideal candidates will have extensive experience with automation deployments combined with a strong technical problem-solving ability – often occurring across multiple sites and technologies. The role requires a holistic view of all aspects of an Amazon Warehouse (Fulfilment Centre, Inbound Cross-Dock, Sortation Centre or Distribution Centre) while focusing on its automation technologies and storage solutions. This person will be responsible for evaluating and delivering state-of-the-art material handling systems and robotic innovations while coordinating internal teams and external contractors in order to effectively support the launching of new automated buildings and expansions in existing sites.

Amazon’s culture encourages an entrepreneurial approach and expects engineers and managers alike to take a high level of ownership in solving complex problems in a fast-paced environment.

The role could be based in London, Madrid, Barcelona or Luxembourg with ~50% travel across Europe during peak deployment season, with occasional international travel.

Key job responsibilities
- Own the creation, validation, and continuous improvement of deployment deliverables (such as Work Instructions and 3PA training) across multiple technologies, ensuring they are complete, standardized, and ready for global scale.

- Support evaluation and delivery of large-scale automation technologies including conveyance, sortation and robotics systems, often occurring across multiple sites at a time

- Coordinate cross-functional teams including internal stakeholders and external contractors to ensure successful project delivery

- Evaluate and implement state-of-the-art material handling systems and robotic innovations

- Ensure deployment deliverables are delivered on time, within the timeline, and to Amazon's quality standards

- Provide guidance and troubleshooting for complex automation deployments

- Drive continuous improvement initiatives to optimize deployment processes

- Collaborate with product, safety, deployment, quality and vendor teams throughout the project lifecycle

A day in the life
You will be interacting daily with a wide variety of functional teams and individuals at all levels of the organization and in multiple time zones. You will conduct multiple weekly meetings with internal teams, stakeholders and vendors to execute deliverables. You’ll be liaising with subject matter experts from across the organization, diving deep in the technologies we deploy; you’ll build on these relationships to refine and improve our processes. No two days will be the same in our fast-moving environment yet you’ll discover endless opportunities to grow along the way as part of a tight-knit and supportive team.
