Industrial Design Engineer II, OneMHS, OneMHS
About The Position
Amazon's One Material Handling System (OMHS) team is seeking an Industrial Design Engineer II (IDE II) to join our growing engineering team. In this role, you will design major sub-system portions of material handling systems for Amazon's next-generation fulfillment facilities, including ARS Gen14 and Sub-Same Day (SSD) programs incorporating advanced technologies such as Matrix Storage and Advanced Material Transport & Sortation. As an IDE II, you are a significant and autonomous contributor. Your scope is at the sub-system level (LOD 200–300)—you own the design of major functional areas within a building, such as complete sortation loops, inbound receiving conveyance, automated storage grid bays, advanced material transport station clusters, or storage structure modules. Your designs are reusable across multiple sites and contribute directly to OMHS's ability to scale design delivery across the portfolio.
Requirements
- Bachelor's degree in Engineering or a foreign equivalent
- 3+ years of experience in MHE system design, industrial engineering, or systems integration
- Experience designing sub-system level material handling solutions at LOD 200–300 (schematic through precise geometry)
- Experience producing equipment specifications and vendor procurement documentation (RFP technical sections)
- Proficiency with CAD software (AutoCAD, Revit, SolidWorks, or CREO) and engineering analysis tools
Nice To Haves
- Master's degree in engineering or equivalent
- Experience with automated material handling equipment including conveyance, sortation, ASRS, or robotic systems at warehouse/fulfillment scale
- Experience developing reusable design templates or configuration patterns for multi-site deployment
- Knowledge of cross-component integration across mechanical, electrical, controls, and structural disciplines
- Experience with material flow simulation (FlexSim, AnyLogic), BIM coordination (Navisworks), or parametric design analysis
Responsibilities
- Design major sub-system portions of material handling systems and own FE packages from concept through construction-ready documentation.
- Design major portions of material handling systems for ARS Gen14 or SSD facilities, owning FE packages for assigned sub-systems from concept through construction-ready documentation.
- Develop standard design templates and configuration patterns that other IDEs can leverage across the OMHS portfolio.
- Demonstrate proficiency in cross-component integration—understanding how conveyance interfaces with sortation, how matrix storage systems connect to pick stations, how advanced material transport integrates with induct/outfeed conveyance, and how controls architecture maps to mechanical layout.
- Collaborate with WWDE on structural and platform designs, with the Electrical Engineering team on power architecture, and with I&D on installation feasibility.
- Produce equipment specifications for vendor procurement, including detailed RFP technical sections with clearly articulated performance requirements, tolerances, and acceptance criteria.
- Participate in vendor technical evaluations and integrator design reviews.
- Manage design complexity across multiple concurrent projects—sequencing FE deliverables to align with project schedules without sacrificing design quality.
- Develop design validation approaches (simulation, calculation, prototype testing) to prove solutions before construction.
- Leverage CADalyst's built-in intelligence to validate designs against equipment specs and site constraints automatically, achieving high first-pass quality through QE gates.
- Mentor IDE I team members, provide design reviews, and contribute to the evolution of OMHS design standards.
- Formulate white papers articulating design rationale and trade-off analysis for key technical decisions.
Benefits
- health insurance (medical, dental, vision, prescription, Basic Life & AD&D insurance and option for Supplemental life plans, EAP, Mental Health Support, Medical Advice Line, Flexible Spending Accounts, Adoption and Surrogacy Reimbursement coverage)
- 401(k) matching
- paid time off
- parental leave
- sign-on payments
- restricted stock units (RSUs)
