Architectural Design Lead, Integrated Design Solutions; IDS

Amazon's Integrated Design Solutions (IDS) team is looking for an Architectural Design Lead to lead a fast-moving, high-visibility program focused on rapid composite design delivery and operational readiness. This is a hands‑on role that blends 2D/3D design execution with project and program management — built for someone who can do the work, run the program, and keep cross‑functional teams aligned all at once.

You’ll collaborate closely with design teams across the organization, driving composite delivery from kickoff to completion with speed and precision. If you think quickly, communicate clearly under pressure, and take pride in delivering high-quality design work on a tight timeline — this role was made for you.

• Own end-to-end composite design delivery for a high-impact program, producing accurate 2D/3D designs using AutoCAD and Revit
• Manage project and program timelines, tracking deliverables, surfacing risks early, and keeping stakeholders informed
• Collaborate closely and continuously with design teams to align on scope, resolve blockers, and accelerate delivery
• Translate operational requirements into composite designs that meet construction and launch standards
• Support clash detection and under‑the‑roof design validation to reduce rework and protect capital investment
• Communicate proactively with business partners to maintain visibility on program status and design decisions
• Adapt quickly as project requirements evolve, maintaining quality without sacrificing speed

Your day is split between doing and managing. In the morning, you might be heads‑down in Revit working through a composite, and by afternoon you’re in a review with design partners, tracking open items and making sure nothing is blocking delivery. You’re the person who knows where every deliverable stands, what’s at risk, and what needs to happen next.

You communicate clearly, make quick decisions, and bring people with you. When the timeline tightens — and it will — you stay focused, stay collaborative, and find a way through.

If you are not sure that every qualification on the list above describes you exactly, we’d still love to hear from you! At Amazon, we value people with unique backgrounds, experiences, and skillsets. If you’re passionate about this role and want to make an impact on a global scale, please apply!

The Integrated Design Solutions (IDS) team is Amazon’s in‑house design and scan organization, delivering the composite products that power network expansion across 17+ business units. We sit at the intersection of operational design, BIM data governance, and scan technology with direct impact on how Amazon builds, launches, and scales its fulfillment network.

Our team supports a diverse portfolio of building types including mixed‑use fulfillment, pharmacy, Hazmat, Air, and Leo operations. We drive end‑to‑end composite delivery, clash detection, and under‑the‑roof design readiness ensuring design visibility is in place before breaking ground. We deploy scan technology to maintain accurate as‑built composite catalogues, support Facility Twins efforts, and deliver measurable operational savings at scale.

• Experience in Design/Innovation, research & development, manufacturing, process, industrial engineering, or related work
• Experience in management of engineering design projects
• Bachelor’s degree or equivalent
• Experience using business/technical software such as REVIT, AutoCAD, BIM 360, Blue Beam, Microsoft Suite

• Experience managing technical programs across cross‑functional teams, building processes and coordinating release schedules
