About This Role

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.

As an Amazon Field Engineer you will support critical infrastructure in AWS data

centers. This support will span the full building lifecycle from design and

construction reviews for new sites to upgrades and maintenance standards for

existing ones. As the primary engineering resource for your region, you will

apply your subject matter expertise to troubleshoot critical failures, conduct

Root Cause Analyses, and develop corrective actions. You will own conceptual

designs for capacity, availability, and efficiency improvements, lead

engineering audits, and provide technical escalation support for sites in

operation. Working across Data Center Operations, Design Engineering, Hardware

Engineering, Health & Safety, and partner Controls teams, you will drive

standards that ensure consistency and reliability fleet-wide, while managing

concurrent projects that may span multiple geographic regions.

Key job responsibilities

• Lead post-event engineering analysis for controls-related incidents —

including root-cause investigations, technical field reports, and time-sensitive

reviews — and identify recurring failure patterns to develop corrective actions

and reliability improvements across the facility portfolio.

• Develop, review, and maintain controls logic and reusable code templates for

mechanical and electrical equipment, ensuring alignment with approved Sequences

of Operations and deployment readiness across air-handling units, cooling

systems, chillers, pumps, and electrical infrastructure.

• Own the full engineering lifecycle for legacy controls first of kind pilots,

from request intake and technical review through field execution, results

analysis, and go/no-go recommendations for broader rollout.

• Serve as the technical escalation point for complex controls issues that

exceed existing procedures or support models, including traveling to facilities

to support investigations and developing corrective actions. Review controls

drawings, wiring diagrams, network topologies, equipment submittals, and

deployed configurations to identify risks related to reliability, operability,

and maintainability.

• Provide engineering support for proprietary and third-party controls products

by aggregating design update proposals and partnering with product and partner

Controls teams to drive bug fixes and continuous improvement.

• Build and maintain technical baselines, including test scripts, points lists,

naming conventions, alarm thresholds, setpoints, code libraries, and engineering

playbooks.

• Develop engineering standards and system-health metrics that improve control

system reliability and standardization across the facility portfolio.

• Partner with facility operations, Commissioning, Design Engineering, Technical

Program Managers, and partner Controls teams to resolve technical issues.

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.

If you meet these qualifications, exude passion, and enjoy the challenge of

innovative projects at hyper-scale, this job is for you!
