    Default job background
    Description

    Operations is at the heart of everything Amazon does, and automation is one of the ways we optimise our processes. As an Automation Engineer, you'll make sure that our automated systems are working at their best so that our customers get their orders on time. By exploring data on everything from control systems to sensors, you'll maximise the availability of equipment at your sites. This role puts you at the forefront of Amazon's emerging technology to solve complex productivity challenges.

    Key job responsibilities

    • Monitor, troubleshoot and repair issues with key systems
    • Work with the EU Controls network to monitor Material Handling Equipment (MHE) metrics
    • Provide data visualisations of troubleshooting to internal stakeholders
    • Own or actively participate in continuous improvement projects run by the EU Controls network
    • Work with different departments to ensure all systems are correctly documented and that accurate backup libraries are maintained
    • Work with global colleagues to install and commission new equipment
    • Support other sites in the EU Controls network as needed
    • Interpret mechanical and electrical drawings, and develop improvement strategies for code conforming to IEC (phone number removed)
    A day in the life
    As an Automation Engineer, you'll be the site expert when it comes to keeping key automated systems running smoothly. You'll be working with our automation machinery, from conveyors to sortation systems, and ensuring they're working efficiently. If something has gone wrong or can be done better, you'll take the lead in coming up with and implementing a solution.

    You'll also share your expertise with your close colleagues. You'll be keeping your Engineering Technicians up to date with device troubleshooting and preventative maintenance control training, so that your team can keep our automation systems in order.
