Industrial Design Engineer II (IDE II)

Amazon's One Material Handling System (OMHS) team is seeking an Industrial Design Engineer II (IDE II) to join our growing engineering team. In this role, you will design major sub-system portions of material handling systems for Amazon's next-generation fulfillment facilities, including ARS Gen
14 and Sub-Same Day (SSD) programs incorporating advanced technologies such as Matrix Storage and Advanced Material Transport & Sortation.

As an IDE II, you are a significant and autonomous contributor. Your scope is at the sub-system level (LOD 200–300)—you own the design of major functional areas within a building, such as complete sortation loops, inbound receiving conveyance, automated storage grid bays, advanced material transport station clusters, or storage structure modules. Your designs are reusable across multiple sites and contribute directly to OMHS's ability to scale design delivery across the portfolio.

Key job responsibilities include:

• Designing major sub-system portions of material handling systems and owning FE packages from concept through construction-ready documentation.
• Developing standard design templates and configuration patterns that other IDEs can leverage across the OMHS portfolio.
• Demonstrating proficiency in cross-component integration.
• Collaborating with WWDE, Electrical Engineering, and I&D on installation feasibility.
• Producing equipment specifications for vendor procurement.
• Participating in vendor technical evaluations and integrator design reviews.
• Managing design complexity across multiple concurrent projects.
• Developing design validation approaches.
• Mentoring IDE I team members and contributing to the evolution of OMHS design standards.
• Formulating white papers articulating design rationale and trade-off analysis for key technical decisions.

A day in the life involves designing major sub-systems of Amazon's next-generation material handling facilities—owning FE packages for functional areas like sortation loops, storage bays, or transport station clusters from concept through construction-ready documentation. Collaborate with WWDE, Electrical Engineering, and I&D teams to ensure cross-component integration while developing reusable design templates that scale across the portfolio. Manage design deliverables across multiple concurrent projects, validate solutions through simulation and analysis, and mentor junior engineers on OMHS design standards and practices.

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.
