The Mechatronics and Sustainable Packaging (MSP) Operations organization oversees the manufacturing of high-quality packaging and robotics systems. It gets the right materials, to the right place, at the right time to enable our large scale complex automated solutions to deliver results for our customers. It’s a fast-paced operation that works cross-functionally with teams across Amazon globally, and is driven by data and performance indicators. We are seeking a talented and motivated Principal Technical Infrastructure Program Manager who is capable of operating in a fast paced, ever changing, multi-platform international manufacturing and production environment. Our P-TIPM works closely with our ODMs, CMs, internal MSP mechatronics development teams, and with upstream/downstream suppliers to improve the quality, manufacturability, and cost of MSP products proactively in the design phase and throughout the entire product life-cycle. This role requires the TIPM to both develop manufacturing strategy and lead well detailed tactical execution plans to deliver on the strategy. You will take ownership of the manufacturing launch and resolution of process issues. You will be the driver in getting production up and running, understanding root cause of hardware failures and resolving gaps in our suppliers manufacturing processes. Further you will accomplish this both by directly making changes, and working as a “force-multiplier” by coaching and mentoring other PMs and manufacturing engineers to deliver production capabilities on schedule, at a high-quality level, and with the lowest total cost.
Key job responsibilities
In partnership with design engineering, advanced manufacturing engineering, and supply chain partners, this individual will determine how we provide manufacturing services throughout the MSP organization. This position will provide manufacturing support and develop roadmaps throughout the entire product lifecycle and across multiple technical program teams. You will serve as a main point of contact between product engineering, program teams and manufacturing operations. You will lead cross-functional communications, and strategic planning for manufacturing a new product from prototype to volume production, determine KPIs, and drive cost-reduction initiatives. You must be obsessed with data, change management, creating mechanisms, and processes that increase velocity and enable our manufacturing and supply chain functions to deliver work, faster, independently, and with zero defects. As a senior member of the team you will be key in driving continuous improvement and maturation of manufacturing planning and execution processes and procedures. This role is an internal customer facing position and will require the ability to build relationships with Amazon development and operations teams and with senior leaders (up to Vice President).
Responsibilities include:
A day in the life
