Position: Senior Electrical Engineer, Mechanical Products and Services (AWS)

Job : | 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 ensures 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.

Are you passionate about designing and optimizing the critical infrastructure that powers one of the world's largest and most complex networks? Amazon is looking for a Senior Electrical Engineer to take on a technical leadership role in the design, architecture, and continuous improvement of our data center infrastructure systems. In this role, you will tackle ambiguous, high‑impact problems across global projects, driving solutions that are inventive, scalable, and maintainable.

You will serve as a key technical resource, guiding infrastructure strategy and influencing decisions that shape the long‑term reliability and efficiency of our facilities. If you are a collaborative problem solver who thrives on simplifying complex systems and mentoring others, we want to hear from you.
