Mechanical Install SME - One Mhs

Description

OMHS Integration & Deployment is building the team that installs and commissions Amazon's next-generation material handling systems. We are looking for a mechanical installation subject matter expert to own the standard for how that equipment is installed in the field.

Equipment manuals and engineering drawings are written for designers and integrators, not for the technician doing the work. You will develop the standard work instructions for the technicians completing the installation: the step sequence, the simplified drawings, the torque and alignment specifications, and the acceptance criteria that tell a technician the work is done right. You will work alongside those technicians in the field to confirm the instructions are clear, the process is repeatable, and the installed equipment matches the plan, then bring what you learn back into the next revision.

The role anticipates approximately 25 percent travel, though that percentage may vary. The goal of the travel is to get out to the field, work with the installation teams, test the instructions you are developing and verify the equipment is installed to the plan.

If you have assembled and commissioned material handling equipment and thought there was a better way to explain it, this is the role where you write it down and make it the way Amazon does it.

Key job responsibilities
Translate OEM installation manuals and integrator drawings into technician-level job plans: step sequences, simplified drawings, exploded views, torque specifications, alignment tolerances, and acceptance criteria.

Partner with Design Engineering to bring field feedback into the drawing package and ensure the drawings they produce meet the standard the work instructions require.

Author and maintain mechanical installation standards and pre-turnover punch list criteria for all OMHS equipment types.

Build practices that prevent known installation-driven failure modes into every job plan, drawing on equipment service history and field feedback.

Travel to active installation sites to field-test new and revised work instructions with installation teams, confirming they are clear and repeatable before release.

Capture deficiencies and workarounds observed in the field, determine whether the instruction or the execution is at fault, and revise the job plan accordingly.

Support site installation teams in interpreting drawings, resolving field fit-up issues, and confirming alignment and tolerance requirements.

Develop mechanical commissioning checklists and equipment turnover packages that hand a complete, documented system to site operations.
Partner with the Electrical SME and site teams to create integrated system acceptance packages.

Develop technical training content on mechanical installation standards for OMHS installation technicians and field supervisors.
