Amazon CLT4 - Charlotte, NC

May 2020 to December 2021

My title was a Reliability, Maintenance, and Engineering Tech. II. My first 10 months on the job were spent as a robotics technician. Safety was paramount on this job because of the continuous risk for being injured. I was very safety conscious, and would exercise my stop work authority at any time a safety risk was observed. I was also trained and certified by ELS in proper Lock Out Tag Out procedures. I completed some routine, and some not so routine service calls. I would be dispatched to calls via radio, using proper radio etiquette at all times. Routine calls consisted mainly of jams at Amazon associate work stations, items stuck inside the equipment, and sensor issues. I have replaced drive motors, belts, drive rollers, safety barriers, emergency stop equipment, infrared scanners, cameras, backup power supplies, and various other material handling equipment. When not taking routine service calls, my time was spent completing preventative maintenance (PM’s) on assigned equipment. My PM’s were always completed prior to the due date. Random work audits of my PM’s, which were performed by managers, were always found to be satisfactory (PM was completed and all work procedures were followed). All work performed, routine and preventative, was documented for time spent, and any inventory that was used.

Then, using an oscilloscope, an external power supply, and a digital multi-meter; I would troubleshoot and determine the issue with the device. Once the issue was diagnosed, I would replace a board or a component. To do this sometimes meant incorporating fine pitch desoldering/soldering skills.
