Join our dynamic team where you'll be at the forefront of designing intelligent automation solutions that reshape Amazon’s global logistics and technological capabilities. As a Principal Technical Product Manager – High Rate Sortation, you'll dive into a world where technology meets innovation and efficiency. As the functional CEO of Amazon loop sorter products, you will balance business and technical to create Amazon’s standard sortation products of the future – specifically on how we will create Amazon’s own loop sorter products, starting with traditional cross-belt sorters and innovating from there.

Key job responsibilities

About the team

Amazon installs a significant quantity of new buildings every year. The historical model has been to allow each integrator to use their own equipment, controls, subsystems, and methodologies. While that has allowed Amazon to be successful to this point, the variability between buildings has proven difficult to support and scale. One MHS’ charge is to build partnerships to focus on consistency and scalability across our network of the future. We will be partnering with key suppliers to help them scale up their manufacturing capabilities to keep up with our needs, as well as refining their designs to drive innovation and operational uptime and better meet the specific needs of Amazon’s operational environment.
