Are you energized by the challenge of executing complex hardware deployments across Amazon"s robotics network? The RTS Process Engineering team is looking for a Technical Infrastructure Program Manager (TIPM) to drive retrofit execution across our fielded fleet of autonomous robotics systems. In this role, you will own the end-to-end delivery of hardware modification and firmware update programs across active fulfillment centers, ensuring safety-critical retrofits, supplier quality resolutions, and product upgrades are completed on time and to specification.

You will manage programs from intake through site execution - coordinating material procurement, site scheduling, third-party vendor oversight, and post-installation verification. Your work directly protects the availability and safety of robotics systems that power Amazon"s fulfillment network, making you a critical link between engineering teams who design improvements and the field teams who implement them at scale.

Key job responsibilities

  • Own end-to-end execution of assigned retrofit programs: intake, funding approval, material procurement, site scheduling, vendor coordination, installation tracking, and post-execution verification
  • Manage retrofit project schedules across multiple active fulfillment centers, driving on-time completion rate and on-time material delivery to sites
  • Coordinate with third-party vendor partners to ensure quality execution standards are met consistently across all retrofit installations
  • Partner with product engineering, supply chain, and field operations teams to resolve dependencies, remove blockers, and maintain critical path alignment
  • Track and report program status, risks, and escalations to leadership using established metrics frameworks and reporting cadences
  • Develop and maintain retrofit execution documentation including site-specific plans, quality check templates, and post-installation verification criteria
  • Contribute to process improvement initiatives including automation of program management workflows (project creation, critical path mapping, stakeholder notifications)

A day in the life

Your morning starts with a portfolio status check - confirming material deliveries, reviewing site schedules, and flagging risks. You join a cross-functional sync with product engineering to align on an upcoming safety-critical retrofit. After lunch, you lead a quality review call with a vendor partner who completed installations at three sites, verifying inspection criteria were met. You close the day updating critical paths and preparing a program health brief for leadership.

About the Company

Amazon.com Inc

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.

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
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.
