Senior Architectural Design Lead, Integrated Design Solutions

Description

Amazon's Integrated Design Solutions (IDS) team seeks an Architectural Design Manager to lead composite design delivery across fulfillment operations. This role drives spatial coordination of building shell, material handling equipment, and safety modules while managing cross‑functional design programs.

Job Responsibilities

You’ll own end‑to‑end composite delivery, integrating architectural drawings with MHE layouts and operational requirements. You will lead clash detection, establish BIM standards, and ensure construction‑ready designs meet launch timelines. The role includes managing design resources across concurrent projects while serving as the primary interface to Worldwide Design Engineer (WWDE), Operations, and Construction partners.

• Lead spatial design and architectural coordination integrating building shell, material handling equipment and safety modules across fulfillment operations.
• Translate architectural drawings into operational composites, coordinating structural constraints, ceiling heights, and building systems with MHE layouts.
• Overlay safety modules (5S, egress, fire protection, WHS compliance) to facilitate safe working conditions.
• Conduct clash detection between building structure, MHE systems and operational modules using Navisworks.
• Establish BIM standards and drive process improvements that scale across the organization.
• Manage design resources across concurrent projects while serving as primary interface to WWDE, Operations and Construction partners.

A Day in the Life

Your day balances strategic program management with hands‑on design leadership. You start by reviewing delivery status across your portfolio, identifying risks, and adjusting resource allocation to keep projects on track. Mid‑morning, you’re in Revit resolving a complex clash detection issue that’s blocking a critical milestone. By afternoon, you’re leading a composite review with WWDE and Operations partners, facilitating decisions on scope changes and ensuring alignment on delivery timelines.

You communicate with clarity and authority, making decisions that balance design quality, schedule pressure and stakeholder expectations. When timelines compress or scope expands, you assess impact and propose solutions.
