RME Automation Engineers - EMEA
As a Reliability and Maintence Engineering (RME) automation engineer, you’re the subject-matter expert for all control systems and sensors within a building. You actively monitor, find faults, and repair systems in order to provide a high level of equipment availability.
You typically:
- Work within the EU Controls network to enhance the capability to monitor Material Handling Equipment metrics and provide visualization and data to internal customers by troubleshooting and prioritizing.
- Participate in projects or work on your own continuous improvement projects coordinated by the EU Controls network.
- Collaborate with IT, EU Controls Engineering, and Operations Engineering to ensure all systems are correctly documented and accurate backup libraries are maintained.
- Train technicians in the basics of control-systems faultfinding in order to raise the level of knowledge within the site.

Lucia
Automation Engineer | Zaragoza, Spain
Lucia is an automation engineer who holds a master’s degree in electronics, robotics, and automation engineering. She joined Amazon as part of the Graduate Apprenticeship Program at a robotics fulfillment center in the south of Spain. Two years later, upon completion of the program, Lucia became a full-time automation engineer and moved to a different site in Zaragoza, her hometown.
As an automation engineer, Lucia’s role is to maintain and improve all automated and robotic systems, implementing projects and working closely with other teams within the global network.
Lucia’s proudest achievement at Amazon has been working with a peer on a project that has been implemented in all EMEA sites using the same technology. This project monitors the communication between certain devices and creates alarms and visualizations that help troubleshoot issues quickly.
