Key job responsibilities
- Collaborate with cross-functional engineers to design and execute packaging machinery and automation projects
- Execute the electrical design workstreams encompassing the panel design, motor & drive sizing, electrical load calculations, system I/O architecture and layout, wireway placement and design, safety/guarding, and incorporation ancillary systems at the project / platform level while ensuring the technical, cost and timeline objectives are achieved
- Deliver engineering workstreams including panel design and layout, power calculations, safety analysis and compliance with appropriate regulations (UL, CSA, CE, etc..) electrical schematics, electrical hardware selection including HMI, PLC, servo axis controllers and drives, VFD’s and I/O racks
- Ensure project documentation is complete and scalable for manufacturing
- Support the project team in the safety certification of the project / platform (CE, UL, CSA, TUV, etc..)
- Participate in meetings to optimize for customer experience, supply chain, and sustainability
About the team
Aligning mechatronics and packaging into one organization, (Mechatronics and Sustainable Packaging, MSP) enables Amazon to develop, deploy and scale automated solutions across the Amazon Fulfillment Network, especially from Pick to SLAM for the Automated Robotics Sortable (ARS) network. This group works backwards from deep customer insights to deliver solutions that seamlessly integrate into brownfield and greenfield deployments with safety as a top priority. In addition, Sustainable Packaging solutions are a thread that impacts and connects all parts of the Amazon Stores supply chain and customer experience. They take ownership for the entire packaging experience including selling partner design, first/middle/last mile and total customer experience. They eliminate waste and packaging wherever possible. Where Amazon added packaging is required, they are transitioning from single-use plastics to curbside recyclable paper-based materials.
