Berlin - DE or London/Birmingham/Manchester - UK The Innovation & Engineering vision is to develop novel end-to-end process-centric and sustainable infrastructure concepts, striving to meet or even exceed current True North. Responsibilities encompass designing Yard and UTR infrastructure concepts, governing new builds or retrofits from Building Requirements Sheet to Design Reviews, developing functional requirements with ACES and WWDE, and supporting Procurement for vendor selection. Collaborating with NASC Engineering, the team designs Middle Mile Nodes using infrastructural models derived from analytical work. Middle Mile Engineering Programs (MMEP) Innovation & Engineering is looking for a process and technical driven Sr. Innovation Engineer. A strong cooperation with EU and NA based engineering teams, ACES, Operations and team internal SME are key. A process engineering driven mindset is required, operational understanding in Middle Mile or Last Mile are ideal. The candidate will be responsible for developing lean and efficient material handling equipment (MHE) and processes that embody design excellence. Key job responsibilities • Develop novel and process centric material handling system concepts and solutions (processes & MHE) for EU ATS Middle Mile Nodes (MMN) - reflecting Amazon internal and external volume, • Foster a design excellence design approach starting from business requirements towards optimal costs for new infrastructure that strives to zero process waste, • Working backwards from True North processes and available data to close the gaps from current to desired state, • Create Material Flow Diagrams, • Create concepts and layouts with AutoCAD or similar software at least in 2D, • Drive design reviews with partners to share ideas and receive feedback, • Provide data driven process and engineering related advice to the leadership by written narrative business documents. A day in the life Starting from the Inbound vehicle and volume profile, indicators of the to be processed volume hourly distribution is available. Innovation Engineer has to create material flow concepts and evaluate them against True North processes, productivity and costs. Innovation Engineer drives the concepts further towards a detailed engineering design and a matching process description. Innovation Engineer gatekeeps the high quality of the conceptual design and supports during vendor selection. As soon as the firm engineering phase starts, the Sr. Innovation Engineer will hand over the full responsibility of the design to WWDE and TES. Innovation Engineer will consult during firm engineering. Using air, sea and road transport, as well as sortation centres equipped with the latest technology, you’ll help Amazon’s transport run at maximum efficiency.
