Job description

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.




Key job responsibilities
- Produce clear and concise documentation such as detailed design specifications, drawings, white papers, wiring schematics and diagrams, and reports.
- Understand and safeguard implementation of the Global Electrical Basis of Design (BoD) by driving standardization in the data center electrical designs.
- Development of strategic solutions, which meet or exceed our quality requirements and fall within our budgetary requirements. Capture requirements and turn aspirational company or customer goals into well-defined, achievable and testable specifications and solutions.
- Define project scope and provide technical support for information requests prior to, and during innovation and research and development projects.
- Work with regional vendors and manufacturers to specify the appropriate electrical equipment.
- Work on concurrent projects in multiple geographical regions.

A day in the life
You'll start your day connecting with global team members to review ongoing projects. You might analyze energy efficiency data, collaborate on innovative cooling solutions, or mentor fellow engineers. You'll participate in design reviews, engage with vendors, and contribute to sustainability initiatives that shape our environmental footprint.

About the team
We are a diverse group of engineers committed to revolutionizing data center design. Our team values creativity, sustainability, and continuous learning. We support each other's growth while working on projects that impact millions of customers worldwide. Our inclusive environment encourages sharing ideas and celebrating collective achievements.

*Why AWS*
Amazon Web Services (AWS) is the world’s most comprehensive and broadly adopted cloud platform.

We value work-life harmony. Achieving success at work should never come at the expense of sacrifices at home, which is why we strive for flexibility as part of our working culture. When we feel supported in the workplace and at home, there’s nothing we can’t achieve in the cloud.

*Inclusive Team Culture*
Here at AWS, it’s in our nature to learn and be curious. Our employee-led affinity groups foster a culture of inclusion that empower us to be proud of our differences. Ongoing events and learning experiences, including our Conversations on Race and Ethnicity (CORE) and AmazeCon (gender diversity) conferences, inspire us to never stop embracing our uniqueness.
