Amazon is seeking an experienced business-oriented Deployment Engineer to lead first-time deployments of advanced automation technologies and develop comprehensive documentation that enables global rollouts across our fulfillment network.
Join our Robotics Delivery and Packaging Innovation International team, where we transform complex automation technologies into efficiently deployable solutions on a global scale.
Ideal candidates will have extensive experience leading automation deployments from conception to launch, combined with strong technical problem-solving ability. You'll take complete ownership of initial deployment execution, creating comprehensive schedules, aligning cross-functional teams, vendors, and site teams, then transform initial deployment complexity into standardized, streamlined procedures for downstream teams. Working across multiple technologies will accelerate your learning through exposure to diverse stakeholders and technical environments.
Amazon's culture encourages an entrepreneurial approach and expects engineers and managers alike to take a high level of ownership in solving complex problems in a fast-paced environment.

The role could be based in Barcelona, London, Luxembourg, Madrid or Milan with ~60% travel across Europe during peak deployment season, with occasional international travel.

Key job responsibilities
- Lead end-to-end deployment lifecycle from planning through go-live, managing on-site execution during Alpha and Beta phases including installation, commissioning, and validation
- Align cross-functional teams, vendors, and site teams to ensure successful project delivery
- Transform deployment complexity into scalable solutions by creating and improving comprehensive documentation and deliverables that convert initial implementations into ready-to-scale procedures
- Evaluate and deliver large-scale automation technologies including conveyance, sortation and robotics systems
- Collaborate with product, safety, deployment, quality and vendor teams throughout project lifecycle

A day in the life
You'll take complete ownership of first-time deployments, from crafting detailed project schedules to coordinating with site teams, vendors, and cross-functional stakeholders. During deployment execution, you'll be on-site leading all aspects of implementation through go live.
You will interact daily with diverse functional teams across multiple time zones, conducting regular meetings with internal teams, stakeholders, and vendors. You'll build relationships with subject matter experts, analyzing the technologies we deploy. No two days will be the same in our fast-paced environment, offering opportunities for professional growth as part of a collaborative, focused team.
