Amazon is building the next generation software, hardware, and processes that will run the global network of fulfillment centers that move many millions of units of inventory, and ensure that customers get what they want when we promised. We do this by building automated solutions to handle things that technology does well, while relying on people to handle things that humans do well. We are constantly innovating in the ways we are automating and accelerating the delivery of products and packages which includes building custom hardware and applying robotics, autonomy, supply chain optimization, machine learning, manipulation, image processing, and real-time data processing using distributed systems.
The WW Technology Deployment organization is seeking a talented and solutions-oriented System Development Manager to deliver complex robotics systems into Amazon fulfillment network. In this role, you will lead a team managing construction metrology, point cloud automation, utility studies, and semi-automated deployment tooling. High level responsibilities for this position include but are not limited to:
• Lead a team of system development engineers, responsible for developing hardware and software solutions to accelerate robotic deployment process
• Manage complex stakeholder relationships and escalations across multiple organizational levels, effectively communicating technical challenges and resource constraints while driving consensus on priorities and timeline decisions.
• Review both design specs and code and provide feedback to engineers to insist on highest standards in terms of system design and code quality.
• Partner with Technical Program Managers, Reality Capture Managers, Deployment Engineers, Solutions Designers, and peer managers to identify new features or products that can bring substantial benefits for customers. Prioritize feature requests to maximize contributions to our goals while maintaining the right trade-off between addressing tactical needs versus investing in strategic solutions.
