Full Job Description

The Under-the-Roof (UTR) Tech team within Prime Air is responsible for connectivity between Prime Air Drone Delivery Centers (PADDCs) and the broader Amazon fulfillment network, including its integration, testing, and operational support. We are looking for an experienced Support Engineer to help us launch, monitor, and maintain our UTR infrastructure. In this role you will be the connective tissue between our fulfillment network and the physical sites where drones take flight, validating UTR integration, troubleshooting live issues, and ensuring every site we launch stays healthy. Prime Air is expanding rapidly, and this role spans the full lifecycle of our sites: standing up and testing new locations as we grow, and sustaining operations at the sites already live. It is a mix of in-office and in-field work, and you will collaborate across the technology and operations teams of both Prime Air and the broader Amazon fulfillment network to keep goods moving from stow to drone.

Key job responsibilities • Manage trouble tickets using existing documentation, procedures, and tools, performing initial troubleshooting and driving issues to resolution or escalation. • Write comprehensive technical notes and maintain clear communication throughout the resolution process, ensuring accurate and up-to-date ticket records. • Generate metrics for each launched site, create alarms on those metrics, and monitor system health on an ongoing basis. • Conduct root cause analyses (RCAs) on issues impacting system health, drive corrective actions to closure, and proactively identify observability gaps. • Monitor system health during high-volume events (e.g., holiday peaks) and support deployment activities by identifying and addressing pipeline blockers. • Partner with sites to perform integration and UTR testing during launch phases, capturing test results and computing relevant metrics. • Travel to sites as needed to support on-site integration testing and participate in operational readiness reviews. Contribute to operational excellence by raising the bar on observability, incident response, and deployment best practices.
