Control Systems Specialist (Electrical) - Amazon Logistics

Overview

Amazon Logistics Central Engineering's Controls Engineering team is seeking an electrically-focused Control Systems Specialist to review and approve vendor electrical designs for the automated sortation and conveyor systems used in Amazon delivery stations across North America and Europe. You will make sure every design meets code, safety standards and Amazon specifications before it is built, then confirm it on the factory floor and on site through FAT and SAT.

Responsibilities

• Review, validate and approve vendor electrical deliverables (drawings, schematics, panel layouts, wiring diagrams) before manufacturing and installation
• Check designs against NEMA standards, North American electrical safety codes and Amazon internal specifications
• Own the electrical review stage of the Firm Engineering process, the structured design review phase between vendor design and build
• Flag non-conformances and drive them to closure with vendors before release
• Travel to vendor factories for Factory Acceptance Tests (FAT) and to new delivery stations for Site Acceptance Tests (SAT)
• Work with vendors, project managers and site teams so equipment arrives safe and right first time

Requirements

Must Haves:

• 5+ years in automation, manufacturing, logistics or similar
• Electrical engineering background
• NEMA standards and North American electrical safety codes (e.g. NEC)
• Industrial wiring and power distribution
• Reviewing and approving vendor electrical drawings before build (Firm Engineering)
• Strong attention to detail on safety-critical work
• Clear cross-functional communicator in a fast-paced environment

Nice to Haves:

• BS in Electrical Engineering or related degree
• Factory and Site Acceptance Testing (FAT/SAT) experience
• Conveyor or material handling systems
• Working knowledge of NFPA 79 or UL 508A

Disqualifiers

• No direct electrical drawing review experience (controls programming only, e.g. PLC-only profiles)
• Unable or unwilling to travel

Amazon Leadership Principles

• Insist on the Highest Standards: safety-critical sign-off means designs only pass when they are fully compliant.
• Dive Deep: catching errors in schematics and panel layouts requires line-by-line scrutiny of vendor detail.
• Earn Trust: pushing back on vendors and aligning PMs and site teams needs clear, credible communication.

Team and Culture

A people-first engineering team inside Amazon Logistics Central Engineering, building the automation behind delivery stations on two continents. The team is growing in scope, so this role has real ownership over what gets approved and shipped. Engineers are trusted to manage their own schedules, and new starters are onboarded hands-on with a dedicated buddy from the existing team. No previous Amazon experience needed.

Logistics

• Location: Onsite Bellevue, WA (SEA82), office-based with travel
• Travel: approx. 20% to vendor factories and Amazon delivery stations
• Schedule: 40 hrs/week, flexible; no OT, weekend or holiday work expected
• Start date: January 18, 2027
• Type: Contract, with potential for extension or conversion
• Interviews: 2 rounds via Zoom (Leadership Principles + technical review)
