What this job asks for AI summary
A field-based engineering role focused on planning, installing, and commissioning large-scale industrial robotics and automation equipment across Amazon's North American fulfillment centers. Day-to-day work involves on-site project management, hands-on technical troubleshooting of electro-mechanical and networked systems, and coordinating with hardware engineers, construction crews, and operations teams. The role suits engineers with deep experience in complex industrial systems and multi-site deployment projects who are comfortable with heavy domestic travel.

Why we read it this way (7)
This role sits at the intersection of field/systems engineering and project management for large-scale industrial robotics deployment — it does not map cleanly to any single SOC code. 15-1299 (Computer Occupations, All Other) is used as the best available fit given the heavy emphasis on networked systems, software coordination, and controls (PLCs/SCADA); 15-1211 (Computer Systems Analysts) is a plausible runner-up given the systems integration and requirements-translation work.
The posting is titled 'Systems Engineer II', which maps to a Mid advertised level, but the actual requirements (5+ years across multiple domains, mentoring junior engineers, independent end-to-end ownership, continuous improvement leadership) support a Senior classification.
Multiple work locations are listed across MA, TN, TX, and WA; Seattle/Bellevue is used as the primary CBSA since it is an Amazon corporate hub location named in the relocation requirement. The salary floor varies by location ($99,300 in Nashville vs. $104,500 elsewhere); the range reported reflects the full span across all listed locations.
A Bachelor's degree is listed under Basic Qualifications but the posting explicitly accepts 'relevant work experience' as an alternative, so the degree requirement is set to None.
Tableau appears only in the Preferred Qualifications section alongside OEE/KPI metrics tools, listed as an example ('such as Tableau').
Six Sigma, lean manufacturing, and PMP certifications are all listed under Preferred Qualifications.
The role requires 75%+ domestic travel and relocation to one of four Amazon corporate hub cities (Seattle, Boston, Nashville, or Austin); it is not remote.
