Sr Electric Colocation Regional Engineer, Colocation Region Engineering- AMER
Job ID: 3206828 | Amazon Data Services, Inc.
Are you an engineer with a passion for data center design and looking for a challenge to chart your own course? If so, we are looking for you to help us make history. AWS data centers are the foundation upon which our software and services operates to meet the growing demands of our customers. This role provides the opportunity to collaborate with business development, design engineers, data center operations professionals, external vendors and consultants, and other cross‑functional teams to assess and select colocation facilities that meet our business requirements.
In this role you will showcase your in‑depth understanding of data center design, engineering, and operations of infrastructure common to data centers, telecommunications facilities and other critical environment infrastructure. You will work directly with internal business teams and colocation vendors to identify, document, and resolve operational/design deficiencies that could impact a site’s capability or availability. You will influence standards for data center products, build and improve processes, and guide the direction of our colocation data center portfolio on a global scale. If you are a strong leader with solid data center mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and structural (MEPS) infrastructure design engineering experience, Amazon will present a fast‑paced, fun, and exciting work environment that is unique in every aspect and offers an exceptional rewarding opportunity for you.
AWS Infrastructure Services (AIS) owns the design, planning, delivery, and operation of all AWS global infrastructure. 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.
