Amazon"s Global Reliability Team is building the next generation of predictive maintenance technology for one of the world"s largest fulfillment networks. As a Reliability Engineer, you will evaluate, deploy, and advance condition monitoring technologies that prevent equipment failures before they affect operations.

You will work across vibration analysis, thermography, ultrasound, oil analysis, and other detection methods; synthesizing data from CMMS and OEM platforms into findings that drive real maintenance decisions at scale. This role requires someone who can own complex technical projects end-to-end, communicate findings clearly to program leadership and field stakeholders, and deliver results with limited guidance in a fast-moving environment.

You will lead condition monitoring technology deployments and evaluations across multiple sites, own corrective action documentation, partner directly with equipment manufacturers and field reliability stakeholders, and present recommendations to program leadership. You will deliver independently and grow into broader program ownership as you build depth across the condition monitoring technology portfolio.

Key job responsibilities

  • Lead condition monitoring technology deployments and evaluations across multiple fulfillment and sort sites, owning each project from identification through resolution
  • Synthesize sensor, platform, and equipment data into actionable findings; author technical white papers and corrective action documentation with minimal supervision
  • Diagnose issues within complex multi-technology systems; apply structured root cause analysis tools including 5-Why, cause-and-effect analysis, and lean methodology to develop and validate fixes
  • Define project KPIs and deliverables; track timelines and milestones, resolve schedule risks before they become escalations
  • Partner directly with equipment manufacturers, product development teams, and field reliability stakeholders; serve as primary point of contact without manager intervention
  • Work backwards from maintenance and reliability customer needs to define the correct solution path and deliver measurable outcomes
  • Present project status, findings, and recommendations to program leadership in business review forums
  • Identify and optimize operational processes; document improvements for broader team reuse
  • Provide technical guidance and work reviews for junior team members

A day in the life

You start your day reviewing equipment data from sites across the network, looking for patterns that signal emerging failures. From there you might be validating findings with an OEM or internal partner, working through a root cause analysis on a technology that is not performing to spec, or drafting the narrative for a corrective action you own. Some days you are on-site working directly with field reliability teams. Others you are in front of program leadership presenting what you found and what you recommend. No two days look the same, and the problems you solve show up in equipment that stays running.

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.

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.
