You will partner with Supply Chain, Engineering, Facilities, and Operations teams, and regularly communicate with senior management on status, risks, and change control. You will prioritize high-impact projects, obtain approval from relevant functional leaders, schedule resources, and drive crisp decisions about which work is essential, which can be triaged, and which can be omitted. You will build a team that delivers successfully without you, coaching engineers to make smart trade-offs and take end-to-end ownership of the systems they build.
Key job responsibilities
Actively support and foster a culture of inclusion.
Coach and mentor a team that owns process development and optimization for new products.
Set your team’s vision, tenets, and roadmap; participate in Amazon’s planning process.
Implement technology and tool improvements that impact Safety, Quality, and Cost targets.
Perform critical process reviews, including Risk and Hazard assessments.
Lead the development and validation of processes specific to NPI (New Product Introduction) programs.
Write business and operational planning documents for capital equipment and plant infrastructure.
Coordinate cross-functional development work across teams and all levels of the organization, delegating to TPMs or senior engineers as appropriate.
Define audit mechanisms and metrics that explain team performance and variance against goals.
Proactively identify and mitigate risks before they become roadblocks; escalate with sound judgment.
Be strategic about senior engineer growth, providing stretch opportunities that demonstrate higher-level scope, impact, and leadership.
Ability to travel (~10%) to support projects.
A day in the life
You will balance hands-on technical judgment with team leadership, questioning proposals and assumptions when you are involved while empowering your engineers to own their systems end-to-end. You will drive mindful discussions that lead to clear decisions, structure projects to reduce exposure to classic failure modes (unclear requirements, ineffective collaboration, insufficient testing), and recommend reviews with Senior/Principal Engineers when solutions risk adding complexity or impairing future innovation. When views diverge, you will find the best path forward and build consensus around it.
