Full Job Description
Architectural Designer I to join a fast-paced, high-impact team delivering the composite designs that power Amazon's fulfillment network. This is a hands-on role for someone who is sharp, detail-oriented, and ready to produce accurate 2D/3D design work in a high-volume, deadline-driven environment.

You'll work closely with experienced design and program management partners, contributing directly to composite delivery across a diverse portfolio of building types. If you're technically strong, a quick learner, and energized by work that has real operational impact - this is a great place to grow.

Key job responsibilities
• Produce accurate 2D/3D composite designs using AutoCAD and Revit in support of fulfillment network projects
• Incorporate vendor-provided MHE designs and module placements into BIM models per established standards
• Support clash detection and under-the-roof design validation to ensure composite accuracy before construction
• Maintain organized, audit-ready files in Autodesk Construction Cloud (ACC) following team data governance standards
• Collaborate with design and program management partners to meet project milestones and delivery timelines
• Flag design issues or discrepancies early and communicate clearly with the team to resolve them quickly
• Apply feedback and iterate quickly to meet quality standards under tight deadlines

A day in the life

Most of your day is spent in the tools - AutoCAD, Revit, and ACC - producing and refining composite designs. You'll receive project briefs and design inputs from your team, translate them into accurate layouts, and work through reviews with your manager or design partners to get them across the finish line.

You'll ask good questions, catch things early, and take ownership of your deliverables. When something isn't right, you say so. When a deadline is close, you focus. This is a role where doing the work well - consistently and accurately - is what matters most.

About the team

The Integrated Design Solutions (IDS) team is Amazon's in-house design and scan organization, delivering the composite products that power network expansion across 17+ business units. We sit at the intersection of operational design, BIM data governance, and scan technology with direct impact on how Amazon builds, launches, and scales its fulfillment network.

Our team supports a diverse portfolio of building types including mixed-use fulfillment, pharmacy, Hazmat, Air, and Leo operations. We drive end-to-end composite delivery, clash detection, and under-the-roof design readiness ensuring design visibility is in place before breaking ground. We deploy scan technology to maintain accurate as-built composite catalogues, support Facility Twins efforts, and deliver measurable operational savings at scale.
