Sr. Ops Engineer, Msp-cx Dr, Mechatronics

**DESCRIPTION**:
Amazon is at the forefront of innovation within the space of fulfillment technology and robotics. We are seeking an innovative and solutions-oriented Operations Engineer to be a part of our global effort to develop and deliver the next generation of world-class technology systems inside our fulfillment centers in Europe.
In the Mechatronics & Sustainable Packaging Customer Experience (MSP-CX) organization, we have the unique role and privilege to work backwards from our customer needs and represent their voice through the entire products’ lifecycle (from product development, to deployment, to support & service), embodying Amazon’s leadership principle: Customer Obsession. We raise the bar on the readiness of new technologies in deployment and on the performance of those already in production; our mission is to transform “stand-alone work-cells” into “end-to-end integrated solutions” that are safe, easy-to-operate, easy-to-maintain, easy-to-deploy, and easy-to-service.
This position is responsible for the schedule, scope and cost planning for large scale fulfillment
technology and robotics projects into both live and new fulfillment centers across Europe. As Sr. Operations Engineer, your primary role is to own the coordination and execution of definition, installation,
commissioning, deployment, ramp up and support of the MSP products in the field. In parallel to the
execution, you will be responsible for driving continuous improvement ideas into both the deployment cycle time (safety, quality and productivity), and will be responsible for detailing engineering design improvements to the hardware engineering and product teams, to simplify the installation. This role will require the ability to build relationships and capture and synthesize the voice of the customer.
