R&D Field Safety Engineer
Help invent the future of safe automation mission:
At Amazon, automation transforms how the world's largest fulfillment network moves. Behind every new R&D deployment stands a Field Safety Engineer. On the OneMHS team, we build full-stack innovation that makes our order fulfillment network faster, smarter, and — above all — safe. We make automation history through invention, solving hard problems, disrupting the industry, and building highly engaged teams.
As an R&D Field Safety Engineer, you won't be applying a safety playbook — you'll be writing one. You'll evaluate the safety risks of brand-new automation systems, partner with the design teams inventing them, and take those systems from prototype to production across the US and Canada.
What makes this role exciting:
- Invent, don't inherit. You're securing technology that has never existed before, not maintaining legacy systems.
- Impact. Your process and standards protect thousands of associates across a worldwide network.
- Cross-disciplinary influence. You'll sit at the intersection of industrial automation engineering, construction, operations, and regulatory strategy — and present your findings to senior leadership.
Key job responsibilities:
- Perform safety evaluations during all development phases of a product.
- Collaborate on product deployment activities with engineering, facilities, site safety, and operations teams, as well as suppliers and contractors.
- Develop comprehensive safety validation protocols for internal and external teams installing OneMHS equipment in our fulfillment network.
- Advise site safety, engineering, and operations teams on safety regulations and regulatory compliance concerns relating to field environment and construction safety.
A day in the life:
- Perform safety evaluations during the field deployment phase of a product — from Alpha and Beta prototypes to full-scale rollout.
- Partner with product design, engineering, facilities, site safety, and operations teams — plus suppliers and general contractors — to build and execute risk-mitigation plans.
- Advise site safety, engineering, and operations teams on safety regulations and compliance for field and construction environments.
- Travel to deployment sites across the US and Canada (up to 75%) — you'll see your work come to life on the floor.
