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.
Within AIS and Data Center Engineering, the Mechanical Solutions team is driving rapid innovation in Mechanical Cooling and Controls systems used by AWS. Our designs are fundamentally changing the Data Center, providing operational and financial benefits that are critical to the success of the AWS business, and its millions of customers. Our engineers solve challenging technology problems and take big bets on new concepts enabling AWS services to continue to revolutionize the industry. This role provides the opportunity to engage with and lead the Sustaining or Product Lifecycle Engineering aspect for these advanced cloud infrastructure solutions and the exceptional people that develop them.
AWS is seeking a Mechanical Engineer to be part of a global engineering team responsible for ownership and continuous improvement related to Mechanical (Cooling) infrastructure products within our rapidly expanding data center footprint.
We are looking for engineers with hands on Mechanical and Manufacturing experience of Mechanical (Cooling) products. If you have experience leading product design of Mechanical products, have an understanding of Mechanical Systems, and know how products should be manufactured to ensure quality you may be a good fit. You should be capable of understanding detailed Mechanical equipment specifications and evaluating the merit and risks of design changes.
As a Global Amazon Product Lifecycle Engineer, you will provide Mechanical infrastructure support to AWS data centers. You will collaborate with the product development team to gain deep understanding of all facets of each product as they are being developed and tested, and then have engineering ownership of the product through its operational life. You will be a global 'go-to' engineering resource for Mechanical AWS products deployed in data centers.
Amazon has a global presence. Intermittent travel will be necessary and should be expected to be around 30%. While most travel will be domestic, some international travel may be necessary.
