UX Designer - Amazon Fulfillment Technologies

Job Description

DESCRIPTION

Want to help scale Amazon’s global fulfillment workforce, supporting them with efficient, engaging, and empowering user experiences while keeping them safe and happy? Join the Amazon Fulfillment Technologies Experience Design team (AFT-XD). We are seeking a UX Designer who is passionate about the intersection of the physical and virtual worlds, reaching beyond what is shown on a screen to include the physical environment, building layout, equipment, work processes – anything and everything that impacts how work inside our fulfillment centers gets done.
The ideal candidate will be a problem-solver, self-learner, and self-starter who looks around corners to identify user problems and needs, proactively initiates the design process, delivers user-centric design, and influences stakeholders to positively impact experiences within Amazon’s fulfillment centers worldwide. You will create solutions that scale, utilizing multiple tools and techniques to communicate your ideas. You will partner closely with product managers and engineers to improve the lives of our fulfillment center team members and ultimately deliver smiles to Amazon customers.
What can we offer you in return?
You will be part of a growing team that will support, challenge, and inspire you every day. AFT-XD is a multidisciplinary team of designers, researchers, and technologists who shape and simplify the fulfillment center experience through a human-centered design process. Our experiences are offered on a range of devices that evolve as rapidly as our operations do. You will work on projects ranging from iterative UX design on tactical projects to strategic efforts that rethink how fulfillment centers work. You will also have a voice in defining and choosing projects where you think design can have most impact. In addition, you will be able to grow in this role. There are senior designers, user researchers, design technologists, and front-end engineers on our team (and in the larger Amazon design community) who will provide you with support and mentorship. We invest in our team members to help them build their unique careers.
Key Resposibilities:
· Participate in planning of new features, projects, and products in our safety and compliance product domain; understand business objective(s), analyze customer behaviors, identify UX problems and/or unmet customer needs. Advocate for the user’s point of view, working closely with product, engineering and others to define solutions.
· Quickly and iteratively create high quality design solutions, with deliverables that effectively communicate the intended design. This may include journey maps, user flows, wireframes, clickable prototypes, high-fidelity mockups, detailed design specifications, or other design artifacts.
· Contribute to planning and execution of user research to inform requirements, shape designs, and evaluate final products.
· Present design work to design peers, product and engineering teams, business stakeholders, and executive leadership.
· Scope and manage work on assigned initiatives, including required design tasks and estimated time and resource needs. Provide regular progress updates and escalate issues when needed.
· Contribute to the team’s human interface guidelines and design pattern library, helping ensure consistency across AFT products.
· Participate in peer mentoring and skill sharing to collectively raise the bar for design within the AFT team and across the larger Amazon organization.
· Champion design thinking within the design team and across the larger AFT organization.
· Be resourceful and creative in overcoming obstacles and turning challenges into opportunities.
This role is co-located in Austin with the other designers, product managers, and developers responsible for delivering the solutions you will work on.
