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 Engineer in this role, you will work with the Principals and Senior Mechanical Engineers to drive the standardization of designs across the global region in production data centers and resolve open technical issues in the mechanical space. You will participate in the research and development of new technologies and designs applicable to our products or services. Relied on as a subject matter expert in the mechanical engineering field, you write technical documentation for such projects.
Your tasks include conceiving, initiating and leading projects with widespread impact on infrastructure design, innovation and implementation. You will achieve this by breaking down complex problems into straightforward and actionable solutions. This will be achieved by working with internal teams to understand user requirements and challenges as well as collaborating with teams or individuals from other disciplines, cultures and countries. You will escalate issues as required and communicate clearly and effectively at the appropriate level of detail with people from a wide range of technical abilities and backgrounds.
Part of the role will also include the review and approval of critical equipment submittals including vendor Witness Tests, provide technical support on global Large Scale Events (LSE’s), including participation on deep dives, investigations and recommendations on mitigation plans. You will also be expected to maintain and host technical mechanical forums to provide a collaborative environment for development of data center mechanical systems.
