Amazon, Seattle, WA, United States
Mechanical Design Engineer, Data Center Design Engineering
Job ID: 10377435 | Amazon Data Services, Inc.
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 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.
Do you dream of working in a role where your talent with mechanical HVAC system design and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) can be merged? Do you want to expand your current knowledge of building systems while providing input from your previous experience? Have you ever wondered what it is like to own the whole document control process for a fast paced mechanical design team? YES! Then keep reading…
Key Job Responsibilities
Developing mechanical documentation including but not limited to narratives, drawings, specifications, etc.
Driving process improvements across the organization.
Performing building energy use calculations for determining capacity and type of cooling system required.
Performing CFD models on innovative designs.
Providing reports to senior leadership on the results of those models.
Performing water efficiency use calculations to determine quantity of water needed on site.
Coordinating with construction and commissioning teams to answer requests for information.
Working with global ME teams to achieve alignment of design and CFD modeling standards.
Developing special projects and assist senior engineers with detailed calculations for special projects.
This position will involve routine travel, typically every other month domestically, plus an annual trip to a global location.
Understanding the key aspects of status quo data center mechanical systems to the extent that key sources of high capital/operational costs, reduced efficiencies, high-levels of maintenance, security issues and safety risks can be identified as improvement areas in next-generation data center designs.
Actively defining, scoping and participating in project & product teams focused on delivering innovations in next-generation data centers.
Providing direct influence over the mechanical design and construction of new data centers and general capital endeavors.
A strong understanding of business analysis and practices including Total Cost of Ownership and Return on Investment models.
Creating product & project specifications, requests for proposals, and capital requests.
Working closely with hardware designers to optimize the interfaces between the IT equipment and the facility as well as understand the future trends and initiatives in IT equipment technology.
Providing total project management and oversight of construction, including ownership of the project scope, timeline, and budget.
Recording and reporting key metrics to team members and management.
For issues that arise in data centers, driving teams to supply root-cause analysis, quantify customer exposure, provide remediation, long-term corrective measures and ensuring these efforts are documented such that the issue doesn’t reoccur.
