    Job Description

    Amazon"s Integrated Design Solutions (IDS) team is looking for a Architectural Design Lead to lead a fast-moving, high-visibility program focused on rapid composite design delivery and operational readiness. This is a hands-on role that blends 2D/3D design execution with project and program management - built for someone who can do the work, run the program, and keep cross-functional teams aligned all at once.

    You"ll collaborate closely with design teams across the organization, driving composite delivery from kickoff to completion with speed and precision. If you think quickly, communicate clearly under pressure, and take pride in delivering high-quality design work on a tight timeline - this role was made for you.

    Key job responsibilities

    • Own end-to-end composite design delivery for a high-impact program, producing accurate 2D/3D designs using AutoCAD and Revit
    • Manage project and program timelines, tracking deliverables, surfacing risks early, and keeping stakeholders informed
    • Collaborate closely and continuously with design teams to align on scope, resolve blockers, and accelerate delivery
    • Translate operational requirements into composite designs that meet construction and launch standards
    • Support clash detection and under-the-roof design validation to reduce rework and protect capital investment
    • Communicate proactively with business partners to maintain visibility on program status and design decisions
    • Adapt quickly as project requirements evolve, maintaining quality without sacrificing speed

    A day in the life

    Your day is split between doing and managing. In the morning, you might be heads-down in Revit working through a composite, and by afternoon you"re in a review with design partners, tracking open items and making sure nothing is blocking delivery. You"re the person who knows where every deliverable stands, what"s at risk, and what needs to happen next.

    You communicate clearly, make quick decisions, and bring people with you. When the timeline tightens - and it will - you stay focused, stay collaborative, and find a way through.

    About the team

    The Integrated Design Solutions (IDS) team is Amazon"s in-house design and scan organization, delivering the composite products that power network expansion across 17+ business units. We sit at the intersection of operational design, BIM data governance, and scan technology with direct impact on how Amazon builds, launches, and scales its fulfillment network.

    Our team supports a diverse portfolio of building types including mixed-use fulfillment, pharmacy, Hazmat, Air, and Leo operations. We drive end-to-end composite delivery, clash detection, and under-the-roof design readiness ensuring design visibility is in place before breaking ground. We deploy scan technology to maintain accurate as-built composite catalogues, support Facility Twins efforts, and deliver measurable operational savings at scale.

    About Company

    At Amazon, we don’t wait for the next big idea to present itself. We envision the shape of impossible things and then we boldly make them reality. So far, this mindset has helped us achieve some incredible things. Let’s build new systems, challenge the status quo, and design the world we want to live in. We believe the work you do here will be the best work of your life.

    Wherever you are in your career exploration, Amazon likely has an opportunity for you. Our research scientists and engineers shape the future of natural language understanding with Alexa. Fulfillment center associates around the globe send customer orders from our warehouses to doorsteps. Product managers set feature requirements, strategy, and marketing messages for brand new customer experiences. And as we grow, we’ll add jobs that haven’t been invented yet.

    It’s Always Day 1
    At Amazon, it’s always “Day 1.” Now, what does this mean and why does it matter? It means that our approach remains the same as it was on Amazon’s very first day – to make smart, fast decisions, stay nimble, invent, and stay focused on delighting our customers. In our 2016 shareholder letter, Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos shared his thoughts on how to keep up a Day 1 company mindset. “Staying in Day 1 requires you to experiment patiently, accept failures, plant seeds, protect saplings, and double down when you see customer delight,” he wrote. “A customer-obsessed culture best creates the conditions where all of that can happen.” You can read the full letter here

    Our Leadership Principles help us keep a Day 1 mentality. They aren’t just a pretty inspirational wall hanging. Amazonians use them, every day, whether they’re discussing ideas for new projects, deciding on the best solution for a customer’s problem, or interviewing candidates.
