A day in the life
You will be successful in this role if you can identify root causes for defects, develop new packaging solutions based on packaging materials, operational processes, and supply chain expertise. Work streams that you will participate in will include product and material testing, failure point identification, site visits around the network, and root cause identification. You will investigate and analyze supply chain and packaging trends to identify the best technical solutions that can solve problems for Amazon and our customers at a global scale.
