Job Description

AWS Infrastructure Services is seeking a Critical Infrastructure Electrical Engineer to join their team supporting AWS Data Centers. This role is crucial for maintaining and expanding AWS's global infrastructure, working at the intersection of engineering and operations. You'll provide comprehensive support for data centers, from initial design through maintenance and improvements.

As a Critical Infrastructure Engineer, you'll be the primary technical resource for your region, handling everything from troubleshooting and root cause analysis to leading new construction projects. You'll work with diverse teams including operations, design engineering, server hardware, and environmental health and safety to ensure consistent and reliable service delivery.

The role combines both office and field work, requiring someone who's comfortable getting hands-on while also managing complex engineering projects. You'll be responsible for developing innovative solutions for AWS's data centers, conducting engineering audits, and supporting construction and commissioning activities.

AWS offers an inclusive culture that values diverse experiences and perspectives. The company provides excellent opportunities for professional growth through mentorship, employee-led affinity groups, and continuous learning experiences. Work-life harmony is prioritized, with flexible working arrangements available to ensure success both at work and home.

This position is ideal for someone with strong engineering judgment, attention to detail, and excellent project management skills. You'll be working on challenging problems at hyper-scale, helping AWS deliver the highest standards of safety and security while providing seemingly infinite capacity at the lowest possible cost for customers.

The role requires a Bachelor's Degree in Electrical Engineering or equivalent experience, along with a valid US driver's license. Experience in commercial/industrial power systems and facility operations is highly valued. You'll be joining a team that's at the forefront of cloud infrastructure, working on projects that directly impact AWS's ability to serve its global customer base.
