About the teamAligning mechatronics and packaging into one organization, (Mechatronics and Sustainable Packaging, MSP) enables Amazon to develop, deploy and scale automated solutions across the Amazon Fulfillment Network, especially from Pick to SLAM for the Automated Robotics Sortable (ARS) network. This group works backwards from deep customer insights to deliver solutions that seamlessly integrate into brownfield and greenfield deployments with safety as a top priority. In addition, Sustainable Packaging solutions are a thread that impacts and connects all parts of the Amazon Stores supply chain and customer experience. They take ownership for the entire packaging experience including selling partner design, first/middle/last mile and total customer experience. They eliminate waste and packaging wherever possible. Where Amazon added packaging is required, they are transitioning from single-use plastics to curbside recyclable paper-based materials.Basic QualificationsBA in Electrical or Electronics Engineering10+ years of industrial machinery design experience5+ years of people management experience3+ years experience and knowledge of certification requirements (UL, CSA, CE)Proven proficiency in industrial programming and controlsPreferred QualificationsAdvanced engineering degree10+ years of packaging machinery design experienceOperations experience in a manufacturing environmentProven track record of leading successful teams and projectsAmazon is committed to a diverse and inclusive workplace.
