Technical Product Launch Manager , Robotics

Job Overview

Amazon Robotics is transforming the future of fulfillment by deploying autonomous mobile robots, robotic manipulation systems, and AI‑driven orchestration software across hundreds of fulfillment centers that collectively move billions of packages a year. As a Technical Product Launch Manager I, you will support the end‑to‑end launch of next‑generation robotics technologies directly into Amazon's live operational network, working under the guidance of senior product launch managers.

Your work will have immediate, measurable impact: the systems you help launch will reduce customer delivery times, improve associate safety, and drive operational efficiency at a scale few roles anywhere in the world can match.

• Support end‑to‑end launch and field testing of new automation solutions; track deliverables, flag project risks, and contribute to status reports under guidance from senior program managers.
• Develop foundational expertise in site operations and maintenance, build relationships with site customers, and represent their perspective in product discussions.
• Monitor performance, availability, and quality metrics during field tests; identify patterns and elevate root causes to engineering, contributing findings to prioritized product and process improvements.
• Assist in evaluating user roles against product requirements, maintain a prioritized feature backlog, and surface high‑impact improvement opportunities in engineering roadmap and sprint reviews.
• Drive launch readiness by developing user training content, from associate standard work to leadership‑level theory‑of‑operations material; ensure site teams are prepared to operate and sustain new automation solutions by delivering training milestones on schedule and validating completeness prior to go‑live.
• Execute day‑to‑day field testing tasks, support site leadership communications for changes, and triage operational issues arising from NPI activities to keep launches on schedule.

Your morning starts with a stand‑up at a fulfillment center, reviewing overnight performance data for a robotic system beta test. You spot an availability anomaly, flag it to the engineering team, and help triage the issue by gathering logs and testing a firmware edge case. By mid‑morning, you are facilitating hands‑on training for technicians, delivering teardown procedures developed by your team earlier in the launch cycle.

After lunch, you shift to tactical execution, compiling field test data from multiple sites into a summary that your senior program launch manager will use in a product improvement proposal. You document patterns that could reduce maintenance time by 30%. You also join a retrospective to capture lessons learned and take ownership of updating the team's field observation template for the next launch.

Late afternoon, you update launch trackers, draft inputs for a status report that your manager will present to senior stakeholders, and coordinate logistics for an upcoming launch milestone. No two days are identical: some weeks you are deep in data collection, others you are boots‑on‑the‑ground troubleshooting. What stays constant is the impact. The systems you help launch serve millions of customers, the observations you surface shape the engineering roadmap, and the processes you follow and refine make your entire team more effective.
