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.
Amazon Web Services is seeking a Mechanical Engineer to become part of a global
engineering team, responsible for the design and continuous innovation of our
rapidly expanding data center foot print.
Engineers at Amazon work to design resilient, cost effective mechanical
distribution systems. As engineers at Amazon we are responsible for achieving a
world class uptime for our customers. We justify and communicate the technical
decisions we make to Sr. Management and work hard to drive continuous
advancements and improvements with our designs. As an engineer at Amazon you

and continuous learning experiences. Amazon’s work environment is unique in
every aspect and offers an exceptional opportunity for the right candidate.
We are looking for engineers with hands on mechanical design experience. If you
can design a mechanical system, have an understanding of the critical equipment
needs for a data center, and understand the constructability of varying designs
you may be a good fit. As we grow we are structuring our team to own more of our
engineering in house. Engineers will be responsible for taking designs from

defining critical equipment specifications and approving equipment submittals.
Engineers will directly support construction and be a part of the process from

international travel may be necessary. Support could consist of working on
international teams and could require developing detailed schematic design
packages. An understanding of international mechanical design requirements is
helpful but not necessary.
