Mechanical Engineer, OneMHS

Job description

Reinvent how the everything store moves and sorts, well, everything inside an Amazon warehouse. This is a next-generation, first-party conveyance and sortation platform that is still early enough that the person in this role will help define what it becomes. Join a team building from a clean sheet, where the constraints are physics and imagination rather than the last generation of equipment.

About the team

Amazon installs a significant quantity of new buildings every year. The historical model has been to allow each integrator to use their own equipment, controls, subsystems, and methodologies. While that has allowed Amazon to be successful to this point, the variability between buildings has proven difficult to support and scale. One MHS’ charge is to build partnerships to focus on consistency and scalability across our network of the future.

We will be partnering with key suppliers to help them scale up their manufacturing capabilities to keep up with our needs, as well as refining their designs to drive innovation and operational uptime and better meet the specific needs of Amazon’s operational environment.
