Senior Industrial Design Engineer, OneMHS, OneMHS

Senior Industrial Design Engineer (IDE III)

Amazon's One Material Handling System (OMHS) team is seeking a Senior Industrial Design Engineer (IDE III) to serve as the design authority for complete facility material handling systems. In this role, you will own the end-to-end Firm Engineering (FE) package for ARS Gen
14 or SSD facilities—resolving all integration challenges across mechanical, electrical, controls, and structural disciplines for Amazon's most advanced fulfillment technologies, including Matrix Storage and Advanced Material Transport & Sortation.

As an IDE III, you are the single-threaded technical owner for a complete building's material handling system (LOD 300–400). You ensure the design is constructable, operable, and scalable—partitioning work across junior IDEs while maintaining architectural coherence, leading cross-functional design reviews, driving design standardization across the portfolio, and serving as the primary technical interface with WWDE, Electrical Engineering, I&D installation teams, and service provider engineering partners.

Key job responsibilities include:

• Serving as the design authority for material handling system implementations.
• Providing technical design leadership for the end-to-end Firm Engineering (FE) package for specific projects across OMHS technology domains.
• Ensuring the design is constructable, operable, and scalable for your assigned facility.
• Taking end-to-end ownership of full-site MHE system design—resolving all integration challenges across mechanical, electrical, controls, and structural disciplines.
• Partitioning design work so that junior IDE team members can work in parallel on sub-systems while maintaining architectural coherence and leading the integration of their outputs into a unified site design.
• Serving as the primary technical interface with WWDE, Electrical Engineering, I&D installation teams, and service provider engineering partners for your assigned projects.
• Leading design reviews with cross-functional stakeholders and translating business requirements into actionable engineering specifications that accommodate both Amazon standards and site-specific constraints.
• Driving design standardization—taking lessons from each site to improve templates and reduce engineering hours for subsequent projects.
• Producing designs that pass Quality Engineering (QE) gates with high first-pass quality, demonstrating the "Quality by Design" principle.
• Resolving conflicts between disciplines.
• Contributing to product roadmap decisions for OMHS technologies and staying current on MHE industry trends.
• Mentoring IDE IIs and providing technical assessments for promotions.
• Leveraging intelligent design tooling (CADalyst) and engineering documentation standards to deliver validated, standards-compliant design packages.

A day in the life involves leading the technical design of Amazon's next-generation material handling systems—owning the full Firm Engineering package from concept through construction-ready documentation. Collaborate daily with WWDE, Electrical Engineering, and service provider partners to resolve cross-discipline integration challenges. Conduct design reviews, validate solutions against equipment specifications and site constraints, and partition work across your IDE team to deliver high-quality designs on schedule.

Interface with cross-functional stakeholders to ensure designs meet operational requirements while driving standardization that scales across the OMHS portfolio.

The OMHS team is building Amazon's in-house material handling capabilities, transforming how Amazon designs, builds, and operates its fulfillment facilities. As Amazon's internal material handling system integrator, we combine precision in technical design engineering with the vision needed to revolutionize our material handling capabilities. Our IDE team owns the design authority—determining what gets built through engineering drawings, specifications, and system architectures for Amazon's most advanced fulfillment technologies, including Matrix Storage and Advanced Material Transport & Sortation.

We are building the engineering capability to design, integrate, and deploy material handling systems at network scale with predictable quality and timeline.
