Snr. Constructability Engineer, Data Center Design Engineering
Salary
$137k–$185k/ annually
Application completed on Amazon
About This Role
Are you passionate about shaping how data center infrastructure is designed,
built, and brought to life? As a Senior Constructability Engineer at Amazon, you
will embed directly into first-of-a-kind and new-product programs — including
next-generation cooling, racking, and modular designs — catching
constructability and commissioning issues during design maturation, well before
they reach the field. You will validate new construction methods such as
prefabrication and modularization, quantify their schedule, cost, quality, and
carbon impact, and convert field-proven innovations into fleet-wide standards.
If you thrive at the intersection of design engineering and hands-on
construction delivery, this role offers the chance to influence how Amazon
builds at global scale.
Key job responsibilities
- Embed into first-of-a-kind and new-product programs (new cooling, racking,
modular and Design for Manufacture and Assembly solutions) during design
maturation to identify and resolve constructability and commissioning risks
before they reach sites
- Run first-of-a-kind validation, vendor qualification, and deployment-readiness
assessments to confirm new designs meet construction and operational
requirements
- Develop and validate new means and methods — prefabrication, modularization,
new materials — and quantify their schedule, cost, quality, and carbon impact
- Convert field-proven innovations into fleet standards by supporting
basis-of-design intake and specification updates across the global
infrastructure portfolio
- Partner with product owners, construction management teams, and manufacturers
on integration and buildability across products, driving consistency and
technical alignment
A day in the life
You are reviewing new-product designs for buildability, visiting prefabrication
facilities for factory acceptance tests, running first-article deployment
assessments, and quantifying the benefit of a new method against the current
standard. You work upstream of the field so that when a new product reaches a
site, it is genuinely deployable — and you package what works into a standard
the whole fleet inherits.
