Support the project team in the safety certification of the project / platform (CE UL CSA TUV etc..

About the team
Aligning mechatronics and packaging into one organization (Mechatronics and Sustainable Packaging MSP) enables Amazon to develop deploy and scale automated solutions across the Amazon Fulfillment Network especially from Pick to SLAM for the Automated Robotics Sortable (ARS) network. This group works backwards from deep customer insights to deliver solutions that seamlessly integrate into brownfield and greenfield deployments with safety as a top priority. In addition Sustainable Packaging solutions are a thread that impacts and connects all parts of the Amazon Stores supply chain and customer experience. They take ownership for the entire packaging experience including selling partner design first/middle/last mile and total customer experience. They eliminate waste and packaging wherever possible. Where Amazon added packaging is required they are transitioning from singleuse plastics to curbside recyclable paperbased materials.
