The system engineer is a key 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 requires strong technical skills related to the deployment of robotic equipment including work with mechanical, electrical, networking, and software systems during a deployment. Candidates should have prior experience working with complex electro-mechanical and networked systems as well as experience leading the installation, maintenance, upgrades, or troubleshooting of these systems. System engineers will work with a team of 1-5 engineers alongside an on-site project manager to provide technical oversight on the installation of both third party and Amazon designed robotics equipment. The deployments involve extensive collaboration with third party installers and contracted engineers, construction, hardware, software, IT, and many other partner teams – communication skills with both internal and external partners and customers are a must.
