Did you know that many of the products you buy on Amazon didn’t exist before you have ordered them? Here’s a quick overview on how books are made https://youtu.be/YbcL-AWb13U.
We develop and optimize the software solutions that power the Make-On-Demand (MOD) manufacturing cells worldwide to reduce process waste, improve efficiency, lower cost of manufacturing, and improve the quality of books manufactured. The scope of our work is within the four walls of the manufacturing cell, from the time we get a manufacturing request till the book is manufactured.
You are invited to work on real world problems on a global scale, own their systems end-to-end, and influence the direction of our technology that impacts millions of customers around the world. You should be passionate about setting the standard for engineering excellence, building manufacturing software solutions, having strong software development, systems and process design skills as well as solid project management abilities. You should excel in tactical execution and responsibilities range from creating technical plans to driving software development.
You will have a demonstrated ability to think strategically and analytically about business, product, and technical challenges, with the ability to work cross-functionally. A keen sense of ownership is a must. You should also be comfortable working in a fast-paced, rapidly evolving environment with fast delivery time, rapid iteration, and data-driven decision-making.
To succeed in this role, you will focus on:
- Develop and own product vision, strategy and roadmap;
- Own manufacturing feature development, delivery, operation and support activities;
- Execute projects within an Agile/Scrum environment;
- Hire and develop engineers and foster career growth and higher standards;
- Help develop long-term development and business technology strategies;
This role will sit in our new headquarters in Arlington Virginia, where Amazon has invested $2.5 billion dollars, occupied 4 million square feet of energy efficient office space, and created thousands of new full-time jobs. Our employees and the neighboring community will also benefit from the associated investments from the Commonwealth including infrastructure updates, public transportation improvements, and new access to Reagan National Airport.
