• Technical Program Manager, OneMHS

    Amazon (Bellevue, WA)


    Description

    Amazon OneMHS Hardware is seeking a highly motivated Technical Program Manager to help define, deliver, and scale the next generation of material handling equipment (MHE). You will play a pivotal role driving cross-functional programs across mechanical, electrical, and controls teams—both within Amazon and with external OEM partners.

     

    As a TPM, you will own program execution from concept through launch, ensuring alignment between engineering, product management, and operations. You will help shape Amazon’s R&D pipeline, establish scalable mechanisms, and deliver innovative solutions that transform how we design, build, and deploy automation systems across Amazon’s global network.

     

    Key job responsibilities

     

    - Drive complex technical programs across hardware and software teams, ensuring milestones, budgets, and deliverables are met.

     

    - Coordinate with engineers, product managers, procurement, and operations to align program goals with business priorities.

     

    - Translate business needs into technical requirements; ensure documentation, testing, and validation align with standards.

     

    - Partner with third-party OEMs to assess capabilities, negotiate alignment, and manage joint development programs.

     

    - Establish mechanisms to track progress, identify risks, and escalate or resolve issues quickly.

     

    - Support R&D initiatives that challenge traditional conveyance, sortation, and robotics solutions.

     

    - Build consensus across stakeholders; deliver crisp narratives and updates to senior leadership.

     

    - Share program management best practices, foster a culture of ownership, safety, and continuous improvement.

     

    - Manage risk through proactive identification and mitigation strategies.

     

    - Stay current with emerging technologies in automation, robotics, and industrial equipment.

    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.
