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 data center and product engineers and principals - both electrical and mechanical - that work with supply chain specialists, security experts, program and 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.
Amazon Web Services is hiring a Product Lifecycle Electrical Engineer with Low Voltage Switchgear and/or Data Center or mission critical construction and operation experience in our Electrical Products and Services team. The Electrical Products and Services Team is a AWS's Data Center Engineering global engineering team, responsible for the design and continuous innovation for products used within our rapidly expanding data center footprint.
The Electrical Products and Services team works to design and develop resilient, cost-effective electrical distribution products and systems. As an engineer at Amazon, we are responsible for achieving world class uptime for our customers. We drive continuous advancements and improvements with our designs and communicate technical direction to Senior Leadership. We seek new ways to enhance the reliability, scalability, and cost effectiveness of our engineering designs. As an engineer at Amazon, you can design, innovate, and improve the products our customers rely on.
Amazon offers a fast-paced, fun, and exciting work environment. We continue to grow at exponential rates and are looking for individuals that can support our speed to market, enjoy a challenge, and have a desire for professional growth and continuous learning experiences. Amazon’s work environment is unique in every aspect and offers an exceptional opportunity for the right candidate.
If you are a natural leader, smart and worked with high performing team of engineers that enjoys working with complex problems we want you! At Amazon, you will be responsible for working on product designs and supporting our wide variety of customers. Great ideas are encouraged and supported. Ingenuity is the main mechanism which supports our focus on quality, speed, and cost.

Your contribution could consist of leading international projects and could require developing engineering information packages. An understanding of international electrical product design requirements is helpful but not necessary.
