About this role
If you are seeking an iterative environment where you can drive innovation, apply state-of-the-art technologies to solve real world delivery challenges, and provide benefits to customers, Prime Air is the place for you. How do you get items to customers quickly, cost-effectively, and most importantly safely, in less than an hour? And how do you do it in a way that can scale? Our teams of hundreds of scientists, engineers, aerospace professionals, and futurists have been working hard to do just that! We are delivering to customers, and are excited for what's to come. Check out more information about Prime Air on the About Amazon blog (https://www.aboutamazon.com/news/transportation/amazon-prime-air-delivery-drone-reveal-photos). Amazon Prime Air is revolutionizing delivery through autonomous drone technology, aiming to deliver packages to customers in 30 minutes or less. Our breakthrough technologies, including advanced BVLOS (Beyond Visual Line of Sight) capabilities and sophisticated detect-and-avoid systems, have earned FAA approvals and are setting new standards in autonomous delivery. The Prime Air Expansion Design team is seeking an experienced Sr. Industrial Designer to join our Design Engineering team. Our team leads building design for Prime Air Drone Delivery facilities, including fulfillment centers, middle mile facilities, and other buildings across Amazon's network. We support ground-up, greenfield developments as well as the retrofit of existing facilities. This individual will own composite drawing packages, construction documents, and permitting processes. The role spans the full spectrum of industrial development project types, including ground-up greenfield development, building shell design and delivery, and tenant improvement (TI) work within existing facilities. The role requires deep industrial design expertise, technical precision, the ability to manage complex, multi-phase projects with ambiguous parameters, and the judgment to drive design decisions that balance operational efficiency, scalability, and cost effectiveness. A successful candidate will thrive in a fast-paced, entrepreneurial environment, collaborating with internal and external teams to generate high-quality, cost-effective design solutions. They will work across multiple projects with varied timelines while influencing, negotiating, and communicating effectively with internal stakeholders, contractors, engineers, and vendors.
