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 ensures 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 passionate about designing and optimizing the critical infrastructure

that powers one of the world's largest and most complex networks? Amazon is

looking for a Senior Electrical Engineer to take on a technical leadership role

in the design, architecture, and continuous improvement of our data center

infrastructure systems. In this role, you will tackle ambiguous, high-impact

problems across global projects, driving solutions that are inventive, scalable,

and maintainable. You will serve as a key technical resource, guiding

infrastructure strategy and influencing decisions that shape the long-term

reliability and efficiency of our facilities. If you are a collaborative problem

solver who thrives on simplifying complex systems and mentoring others, we want

to hear from you.

Key job responsibilities

• Support the Data Center Design Engineering, Principal Engineering, and

Hardware Engineering teams to design and develop innovative concepts into new

mechanical cooling products (AHUs, chiller, pump skids, ADACs) used in AWS data

centers.

• Lead the electrical aspect of new product design and development for

mechanical cooling equipment, including motor controls, VFDs, power distribution

panels, control wiring, and instrumentation integration.

• Collaborate with other disciplines such as mechanical engineering, structural

engineering, controls/automation, reliability, QA/QC, and compliance to create

well-thought-out products.

• Design and specify electrical systems for rotating equipment including fans,

pumps, and compressors, ensuring proper motor sizing, protection, and control

schemes.

• Create designs which meet or exceed our quality requirements while delivering

a return on investment.

• Work with global suppliers and manufacturers to specify appropriate electrical

components, devices, and bill of materials for AHUs, skids, and ADACs.

• Ensure compliance with federal, state, and municipal requirements and building

codes across different countries, including UL, CE, IEC, NEC/NFPA 70, and other

applicable standards for mechanical cooling equipment.

• Prepare, review, and approve product design and drawings including electrical

schematics, single-line diagrams, wiring diagrams, panel layouts, cable

schedules, and bill of materials.

• Define project scope and provide technical support for information requests

prior to, and during manufacturing phases.

• Work with field engineering and commissioning teams to properly set up test

processes and validate installation, operation, and performance of electrical

systems within mechanical cooling products.

• Develop and review control logic, interlocks, and safety circuits for AHU,

skid, chillers and ADAC assemblies in coordination with controls engineers.

• Ability to work on concurrent projects in multiple geographical regions.

• Support of Operations including failure mode and root cause analysis,

maintenance and troubleshooting support, and operating procedure review for

electrical systems in cooling equipment.

• Be a leader within the group as well as within internal and external teams

that support the data center.

• Ability and willingness to travel domestic and internationally for up to 25%

of the year.

A day in the life

You might start your morning reviewing infrastructure designs for an upcoming

global deployment, collaborating with partner teams to align on architectural

decisions. Later, you could lead a project review where you assess proposed

solutions for their long-term impact on systems and processes. In the afternoon,

you may work through a complex power distribution or cooling challenge,

diagnosing root causes and developing a path forward. Throughout, you will share

your expertise with colleagues, helping to raise the technical bar across the

team.
