  • Experience carrying design concepts through exploration, development, and into deployment or mass production.
  • Experience reading, interpreting, and creating construction drawings, specifications, and submittal documents.

Responsibilities

  • Conduct site assessments against AWS standards for colocation data centers and legacy facility upgrades.
  • Perform risk analysis and availability calculations for vendor-owned and operated colocation data center infrastructure.
  • Influence AWS design and specification requirements to meet business needs for colocation products.
  • Investigate and document root-cause failure analysis associated with infrastructure and equipment failures.
  • Work with vendors and local agencies to ensure compliance with federal, state, and municipal requirements and codes.
  • Collaborate with engineering, operations, and commissioning teams to test and validate critical systems.
  • Support operations and data scientists in determining utilization, efficiency, and performance analysis on critical systems.
  • Travel to data center sites as required, both internationally and domestically, up to 50%.

  • Employees at Amazon are often offered comprehensive health benefits—including multiple medical plan options (no pre-existing condition exclusions, 100% covered in-network preventive care), dental and vision plans, a 24/7 medical advice line from day one, expert second-opinion services, and broad mental-health support with several free counseling sessions (including pediatric). Financial wellness typically includes a 401(k) with company match (up to 2%), Restricted Stock Units (equity), FSAs, an emergency savings program, product and partner discounts, and even college-savings and home-purchase programs.
