Amazon is seeking an Electrical Installation Lead - Low Voltage Devices & Controls to drive the successful installation, configuration, and validation of field devices and low-voltage control systems for automation and material handling equipment across multiple greenfield and brownfield fulfillment center sites. This role provides field-based technical leadership focused specifically on low-voltage device installation, sensor deployment, VFD configuration, E-stop systems, fieldbus cabling, and device commissioning readiness. The Electrical Installation Lead - Low Voltage Devices & Controls will directly manage installation crews responsible for all field device mounting, wiring, configuration, and validation on MHE systems. This includes photo eyes, proximity sensors, encoders, limit switches, E-stop devices, pull cords, safety devices, scanners, VFDs, I/O blocks, zone controllers, actuators, operator stations, stack lights, and industrial communication/fieldbus cabling (Ethernet/IP, Profinet, EtherCAT, AS-i). You will ensure all devices are installed correctly, parameters are set accurately, and systems are ready for controls commissioning and system energization. This role reports to the Site Deployment Manager and follows the Power Distribution & Infrastructure lead through each zone - your team mobilizes once conduit, panels, and heavy wire are in place. You are the last electrical installation step before controls commissioning, making precision, attention to detail, and commissioning readiness the defining measures of success.

A day in the life
Your day starts at the site coordination meeting where you review which zones have completed power infrastructure installation and are ready for device mobilization. You walk the floor with your device crew - verifying photo eye mounting positions against device layout drawings, checking sensor orientation and alignment, and confirming that I/O blocks are properly wired to the correct panel terminals. You oversee VFD installation
and verify that dip switches and parameter settings match the configuration schedule. You check E-stop cable installation - verifying proper tension, I-bolt placement, and pull cord routing meets Amazon safety standards. Mid-day you inspect fieldbus cabling installations, verifying Ethernet/IP or Profinet routing, cable labeling, addressing, and
