About the team
Nuestro equipo de ingenieros de mantenimiento y fiabilidad (RME) se encarga de que nuestros sistemas funcionen a pleno rendimiento. Nos caracterizamos por nuestra gran aptitud técnica y nuestra excelente capacidad para el trabajo en equipo, liderados por unos responsables con gran experiencia. Nuestro trabajo comprende el mantenimiento, la reparación y la solución de problemas relacionados con los equipos en toda nuestra red mundial de centros de distribución. El equipo cuenta con una serie de perfiles de dirección que se encargan de supervisar el desarrollo de tecnologías fascinantes, algunas de las cuales solo existen en Amazon.
Nuestro equipo se ocupa de la mayoría de los aspectos técnicos de Amazon, desempeñando tareas que van desde la instalación de sistemas automatizados de embalaje hasta la supervisión del mantenimiento general de un centro o la reparación de equipos clave de distribución. Esto incluye adaptar los edificios a la legislación vigente, para que todo el personal esté seguro y nuestras instalaciones funcionen con la mayor eficiencia posible. El equipo de RME, al igual que ocurre en otros departamentos de Amazon, ofrece numerosas oportunidades de progresar profesionalmente.
Todo nuestro trabajo gira en torno a reducir los periodos de inactividad en los centros de operaciones cruciales de Amazon, para que los clientes reciban sus pedidos a tiempo. Con frecuencia, trabajamos de madrugada o a altas horas de la noche para poder realizar las tareas de mantenimiento ocasionando las mínimas molestias, por lo que hacemos turnos nocturnos. Si descubrimos que hay una forma mejor de hacer algo, tenemos la capacidad y la posibilidad de desarrollar e introducir procesos totalmente nuevos o tecnología punta, como Amazon Robotics y nuestro clasificador de artículos complejos.
