Senior HW TPM, Amazon Robotics OBDA-Sortation

Amazon Robotics is seeking a talented and motivated Senior Technical Program Manager to lead hardware program delivery for the Sortation Vertical. You will own the full program lifecycle for next-generation sortation hardware from concept through engineering validation multi-site deployment and sustaining support in the field.

Are you inspired by invention Is problem solving through teamwork in your DNA Do you like the
idea of seeing how your work impacts the bigger picture Answer yes to any of these and youll fit
right in here at Amazon Robotics. We are a smart team of doers that work passionately to apply
advances in robotics and software to solve real-world challenges that will transform our customers
experiences in ways we cant even imagine yet.

This role sits on the Sortation Hardware Engineering team and is the single-threaded program owner for our hardware portfolio. You will drive the mechanical and electromechanical programs that deploy into Amazons Sortation Centers at scale working across Systems Engineering Deployment Engineering Solutions Manufacturing and Supply Chain Product and Customer Support. You will own the program schedule the change-control cadence the supplier and procurement path and the launch readiness gate and you will be accountable when those slip.

You will be successful in this role if you are equally comfortable running a design review chasing
a long-lead component through a contract manufacturer and standing on a sort center floor at 6am during an install.

Key job responsibilities
You will own end-to-end delivery of sortation hardware programs across all engineering disciplines holding the schedule and the critical path across teams that do not report to you and driving technical decisions to closure on the record.
You will own the change-control cadence for the hardware portfolio ensuring our contract manufacturers and deployment partners build to the released revision.
You will own the procurement path for program hardware translating supplier lead times on long-lead components into schedule risk before they become launch impacts.
You will own launch readiness for site deployments through the go/no-go decision and the handover to site Reliability Maintenance Engineering and Operations and you will sustain solutions already in the field.


A day in the life
One morning you are deciding whether a bracket that does not fit stops a live install. That afternoon you are working out whether a cable assembly running three weeks late moves a launch date and pushing a stalled engineering change through to release. Some weeks you are at your desk owning the schedule and the readiness summary leadership will read before a site goes live. Some weeks you are on a sort center floor with a tape measure. Both are the job.
