About The Position

One Material Handling System (One MHS) is seeking a talented and motivated SR
Manager Hardware Fulfilment Center Infrastructure Engineer (FCIE) to serve as
the technical authority for electrical architecture and engineering within
Amazon's global fulfillment center network. This role will lead the
standardization and innovation of electrical systems for material handling
operations, focusing on safety, scalability, and operational excellence. As part
of OneMHS, you will transform how Amazon designs, builds, and operates its
material handling capabilities through advanced electrical architecture, system
networks and power system strategies.
The ideal candidate will be a highly motivated individual with a proven track
record in electrical system design, network architecture, power distribution,
and controls engineering for complex material handling systems including
tote/parcel conveyance and sortation. Our SR Manager, Hardware FCIE works
closely with WWDE, Operations Engineering, strategic suppliers, and
cross-functional teams to deliver robust electrical solutions while considering
long-term system performance, policies, and maintenance programs.
This role requires the strategic vision to create electrical engineering
standards that influence mechanical engineering design and develop multi-year
roadmaps for system evolution. You will tackle intrinsically hard, complex, and
ambiguous problems while creating solutions that are robust, efficient,
scalable, and cost-effective. This position also demands tactical execution to
standardize deliverable clarity and quality, promoting excellence in project
delivery while maintaining the high standards that complex material handling
systems require for optimal performance over time.
