Electrical Engineer, Data Center, Colocation Regional Engineering - AMER

$116.8k - $160k

Amazon

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.

Are you an engineer with a passion for data center design and looking for 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 operates to meet the growing demands of our customers. 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 be able to showcase your in-depth understanding of data center design, engineering, and operations of infrastructure common to data centers, telecommunications facilities and other critical environment infrastructure.

You will work directly 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 have opportunities to influence standards for data center products, build and improve processes, and to guide the direction of our colocation data center portfolio on a global scale. So, if you are a strong leader with solid data center mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and structural (MEPS) infrastructure design engineering experience, Amazon will present a fast paced, fun, and exciting work environment that is unique in every aspect and offers an exceptional rewarding opportunity for you.

Key job responsibilities

• Conduct site assessments against AWS standards for collocation data centers and telecommunications facilities within the region.

• Reviews vendor critical infrastructure designs and perform risk analysis and availability calculations for vendor owned and operated collocation data center’s infrastructure to determine fit-for-use/fit-for-service for AWS cloud compute and networking services.

• Perform design and equipment submittal review for new Data Centers in your region.

• Troubleshoot, conduct Root Cause Analysis (RCA) and create Corrective Action (CA) documentation for site/equipment failures.

• Directly support operational issues with ad-hoc training, complex operating procedure reviews, including critical equipment, and event support.

• Own the design for existing data center upgrades and design-solutions, which add capacity, improve availability, and increase efficiency.

• Lead, Review, and approve designs for existing co-location (colo) data center upgrades which improve availability/efficiency.

• Interface with internal data center design engineering team, server hardware team, environmental health and safety team to promote standards that maintain consistency and reliability in services delivered.

• Work on concurrent projects, sometimes in multiple geographical regions.

• Initiate and lead engineering site audits within Amazon’s owned or colo data centers.

• Act as resident engineer during new construction projects. Support construction, commissioning, and turnover.

A day in the life

Each day you will interact with different teams responsible for all aspects of the data centers. You will prioritize your activities to support data center capacity availability and safety focusing on the actions that are most impactful. You will have the opportunity to work on projects locally and globally.

Colo Regional Engineers:

• Possess strong engineering judgement and are able to provide recommendations despite uncertainty.

• Are detail and data oriented.

• Manage engineering projects and consultants.

• Build trust and relationships with different stakeholders.

• Be inclined to get into the field to see things up close.
