Amazon is seeking a Mechanical Integration Lead to drive the successful installation, integration, and deployment of material handling equipment (MHE) across multiple greenfield and brownfield fulfillment center sites. This role provides hands-on mechanical engineering leadership in complex automation environments, ensuring projects meet Amazon's safety, timeline, cost, and quality standards.
The Mechanical Integration Lead will directly manage mechanical installation crews deploying conveyor systems, sortation equipment, and associated structural systems across North America. Reporting to the Site Deployment Manager, you will lead sub-teams responsible for structural steel installation, conveyor prep and placement, mechanical connections and belting, side guide and netting installation, pneumatic systems, and mechanical quality control and commissioning. You will collaborate across engineering, supply chain, and operations to implement scalable solutions, resolve technical issues in the field, and deliver high-impact results across large, multi-site programs.
Manage mechanical punch list identification and repair
Verify IOQ checks and ensure all mechanical systems meet specifications before handoff to electrical teams
Ensure proper match-marking of nuts/bolts to verify tightness across all connections
Technical Leadership & Standards
Provide mechanical engineering expertise for automation initiatives across assigned sites
Implement technical solutions and lead project-level decisions within the mechanical scope
Follow and help develop mechanical installation standards and best practices
Create and maintain technical documentation including work instructions, installation SOPs, and QC checklists
Participate in design reviews and drive mechanical engineering excellence
Recommend and implement process improvements to increase installation efficiency and quality
Project Execution & Coordination
Lead delivery of complex mechanical installation projects with multi-site impact
Work cross-functionally with engineering, supply chain, and operations teams
Coordinate with the electrical integration lead to ensure proper sequencing — mechanical work must be complete in each zone before electrical teams mobilize
Manage relationships with mechanical vendors and partners
Provide technical input to leadership for data-driven decision-making
Drive achievement of safety, timeline, cost, and quality metrics across assigned zones
Participate in daily business reviews with installation progress updates
A day in the life As a Mechanical Integration Lead, you start your day with the site coordination meeting, reviewing progress against the installation schedule and identifying any material or sequencing issues with your crews. From there, you're on the construction floor — walking zones with your structural steel team verifying header hanger loads, checking that the conveyor prep and placement crew has the right sections staged, and ensuring the connections team is properly aligning and torquing hardware. You troubleshoot rigging challenges, coordinate with the Site Operations Leader on material deliveries, and validate that mechanical QC checks are passed before handing zones off to the electrical team. You close out by updating job plans, flagging risks for the daily business review, and planning tomorrow's crew assignments.
About the team
OneMHS (One Material Handling Systems) is Amazon's in-house program for designing, procuring, and installing material handling equipment across its fulfillment network. Rather than relying solely on external integrators, OneMHS brings the full lifecycle of MHE deployment under Amazon's direct control — from final engineering and equipment procurement through mechanical and electrical installation, controls integration, and commissioning. The program supports both greenfield builds and brownfield retrofits, deploying conveyor systems, sorters, induction systems, and robotic work cells at scale. OneMHS enables Amazon to deliver faster, more cost-effective installations while maintaining higher quality and safety standards.
