AWS Infrastructure Services owns the design, planning, delivery, and operation of all AWS global infrastructure. We support all AWS data centers and the servers, storage, networking, power, and cooling equipment that ensure continual access to our customers’ cloud services. We work on challenging problems with thousands of variables impacting the supply chain and are looking for talented people to help.

You’ll join a diverse team of software, hardware, and network engineers, supply chain specialists, security experts, operations managers, and other roles. You’ll collaborate with people across AWS to deliver high standards for safety and security while providing expansive capacity at the lowest possible cost. You’ll experience an inclusive culture that welcomes bold ideas and empowers you to own them to completion.

Are you an engineer with a passion for data center design and seeking a challenge to chart your own course? If so, we are looking for you to help us make history. AWS data centers are the foundation upon which our software and services operate to meet growing customer demands. This role provides the opportunity to collaborate with business development, design engineers, data center operations professionals, external vendors and consultants, and other cross-functional teams to assess and select colocation facilities that meet our business requirements. You will demonstrate an in-depth understanding of data center design, engineering, and operations, including infrastructure common to data centers, telecommunications facilities, and other critical environments.

You will work directly with internal business teams and with colocation vendors to identify, document, and resolve operational or design deficiencies that could affect a site’s capability or availability. You will influence standards for data center products, build and improve processes, and guide the direction of our colocation data center portfolio on a global scale. If you are a strong leader with solid data center mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and structural (MEPS) infrastructure design engineering experience, Amazon offers a fast-paced, engaging, and rewarding environment.
