Mechanical Design Engineer, Data Center Design Engineering

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

have the ability to drive change and define/design the systems our customers

rely on.

Amazon offers a fast paced, fun, and exciting work environment. We continue to

grow at exponential rates and are looking for individuals that can support our

speed to market, enjoy a challenge, and have a desire for professional growth

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

concept to the permit and construction document set. You must be capable of

defining critical equipment specifications and approving equipment submittals.

Engineers will directly support construction and be a part of the process from

site selection review through commissioning and ultimately turnover. You will be

relied on as a subject matter expert in the mechanical engineering field. At

Amazon we do highly support continued learning opportunities and focus on

continued employee development.

At Amazon team work is absolutely necessary for us to accomplish our goals. You

must be able to work within a team and depend on others to accomplish the

required work. As a mechanical engineer at Amazon you will be working with other

internal groups as well as external groups including utilities, manufacturers,

vendors, and contractors.

Amazon has a global presence. Travel will occasionally be necessary but

shouldn’t be more than 20%. International support will be part of the job, some

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.

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.
