Senior Electrical Engineer, Data Centre Engineering
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. The AWS Data Center Engineering team is looking for a senior manager to join our highly collaborative leadership team, responsible for delivering data center product designs across AWS regions. As the Sr. Data Center Infrastructure Engineering (DCIE), you will influence the design for future power electronic products, like SST's. You will be responsible for the delivery of projects, applying design quality controls, and providing technical guidance to team members. As a subject matter expert, you will be responsible for solving for large scale implementation and capacity issues and engaging with AWS engineering community and our internal stakeholders, including procurement, construction and real estate. This role is an opportunity to cooperate with many facets of the AWS organization, external engineering resources and public regulatory agencies.
