Job Description

As an Automation Engineer at Amazon, you will play a crucial role in ensuring the smooth operation of our automated systems. Your primary responsibility will be to oversee, troubleshoot, and resolve issues with our critical systems. You will work closely with the EU Controls network to monitor equipment metrics, facilitate data visualization, and participate in continuous improvement projects. Additionally, you will collaborate with various departments to ensure accurate documentation and backup of systems, install new equipment, and assist other centers in the EU Controls network. Your expertise in interpreting mechanical and electrical plans, as well as planning strategies for code improvement, will be essential in this role.

A typical day in this position will involve working with our automation machinery, such as conveyor belts and classification systems, to ensure they operate efficiently. You will take the initiative to propose and implement solutions when issues arise or when there is room for improvement. You will also share your knowledge with your team, ensuring that engineers are up-to-date on problem-solving techniques and maintenance control procedures.

Our team of Maintenance and Reliability Engineers (RME) is responsible for ensuring our systems run at peak performance. We are characterized by our technical expertise and excellent teamwork, led by experienced managers. Our work involves maintenance, repair, and problem-solving related to equipment across our global network of distribution centers. We have various leadership profiles that oversee the development of fascinating technologies, some of which only exist at Amazon.

Our team handles most technical aspects of Amazon, performing tasks ranging from installing automated packaging systems to overseeing general maintenance at a facility or repairing critical distribution equipment. This includes adapting buildings to comply with current legislation, ensuring personnel safety, and maximizing efficiency. The RME team, like other Amazon departments, offers numerous opportunities for professional growth.

Our work revolves around reducing downtime at critical Amazon operations centers, ensuring customers receive their orders on time. We often work early mornings or late nights to minimize disruptions, so we make night shifts. If we discover a better way to do something, we have the capacity and opportunity to develop and introduce entirely new processes or cutting-edge technology, such as Amazon Robotics and our complex item classifier.
