Description
AWS Infrastructure Services owns the design, planning, delivery, and operation of all AWS global infrastructure. In other words, we’re the people who keep the cloud running. We support all AWS data centers and all of the servers, storage, networking, power, and cooling equipment that ensure our customers have continual access to the innovation they rely on. We work on the most challenging problems, with thousands of variables impacting the supply chain — and we’re looking for talented people who want to help.
You’ll join a diverse team of software, hardware, and network engineers, supply chain specialists, security experts, operations managers, and other vital roles. You’ll collaborate with people across AWS to help us deliver the highest standards for safety and security while providing seemingly infinite capacity at the lowest possible cost for our customers. And you’ll experience an inclusive culture that welcomes bold ideas and empowers you to own them to completion.
As a Controls Colo Engineer, you will work with internal business teams and with colocation vendors to identify, document, and resolve any operational/design deficiencies which could impact a site’s capability or availability. You will provide full life-cycle support to Data Centers from design inception through site improvement and maintenance. You will be the ‘go to’ engineering resource when technical advice is needed, and will use your subject matter expertise and engage with diverse teams to:
• Work in close relationship with the control team of DCE Colocation Design and Standards (CoDeS) to develop and implement new and existing standards.
• Perform design and equipment submittal review for Controls for new Colo Data Centers in the region in order to ensure consistent standards across Colocation Data Centers and AWS owned sites.
• Review and Identify risks within the scope of Building Management System (BMS) and Electrical Power Monitoring System (EPMS) for in-flight AWS Colo Data Centers.
• Review and identify risks within automation controls drawings and wiring diagrams, the controls logic programming and the graphical user interface.
• Review and accept proposed changes to the site-specific control infrastructure against AWS Data Center standards, and document accepted deviations when appropriate.
• Review Colo and Hybrid controls sequence of operation and provide feedback to design.
• Support the design for existing Colo Data Center control system upgrades and design-solutions, which add capacity, improve availability, and increase efficiency.
• Troubleshoot, conduct Root Cause Analysis (RCA) and create Corrective Action (CA) documentation for site/equipment failures related to control equipment.
• Conduct site audits of Colo Data Centers, including producing reports outlining risks with recommended mitigations and remediation.
• Support construction, commissioning, and turnover for Controls for any new construction projects (could be remote with local Colo Engineer presence).
• Lead internal team training and knowledge sharing sessions on Colo controls.
• Review and improve controls related processes, including quick reference guides for the team.
Key job responsibilities
Amazon's vision is to be the world's most customer-centric company, and this role is key to that vision. As a Controls Engineer, you will be leading projects to fit out the data centers we support to meet ever-evolving customer needs as we continue expanding our fleet to hyper-scale.
As an ideal candidate, you:
• Possess Strong Engineering judgment and are able to provide recommendations despite uncertainty
• Detail- and data oriented
• Have experience managing engineering projects and consultants.
• Build trust and relationships with different stakeholders (e.g., Business Development, Operations, Commissioning)
• Be inclined to get into the field to see things up close.
