Electrical Installation Lead- Devices & Controls, OMHS

Description

Amazon is seeking an Electrical Installation Lead
- Low Voltage Devices & Controls to drive the successful installation, configuration, and validation of field devices and low-voltage control systems for automation and material handling equipment across multiple greenfield and brownfield fulfillment center sites. This role provides field-based technical leadership focused specifically on low-voltage device installation, sensor deployment, VFD configuration, E-stop systems, fieldbus cabling, and device commissioning readiness.

The Electrical Installation Lead
- Low Voltage Devices & Controls will directly manage installation crews responsible for all field device mounting, wiring, configuration, and validation on MHE systems. This includes photo eyes, proximity sensors, encoders, limit switches, E-stop devices, pull cords, safety devices, scanners, VFDs, I/O blocks, zone controllers, actuators, operator stations, stack lights, and industrial communication/fieldbus cabling (Ethernet/IP, Profinet, EtherCAT, AS-i). You will ensure all devices are installed correctly, parameters are set accurately, and systems are ready for controls commissioning and system energization.
