About AIS
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.
The Role
As an ICT Design Engineer you will be part of a global engineering team, comprised of highly effective Architects, Structural, Civil, Mechanical, Electrical, and Control Engineers. AWS self-performs engineering on the majority of our capacity delivery projects.
Our AWS ICT Design and Engineering Team is a new fast-growing and leading-edge engineering team that is rethinking the design for the critical communications pathways that connect the various pieces of hardware inside AWS' data centers. As we continue to grow, we are looking for team members that can help us innovate delivery of ICT components, support our speed to market, raise the bar, and have a desire for professional growth and continuous learning. As part of this team you will work directly with engineers and managers across the company to develop connectivity solutions for the physical layer. Work with the rest of the design team to provide pathway and cabling designs and specification for construction and operation and finally with industry suppliers and manufacturers to develop product requirements and recommend new technologies.
Key job responsibilities
Your task:
- Ensure timely delivery of scalable fiber optic & copper plant designs and specifications.
- Review and approval of ICT pathway, cable and equipment submittals.
- Identify and respond to risks and high-priority issues rapidly and effectively.
- Support new technology and design activities that improve infrastructure quality, reduce cost and installation time.
- Travel 20+% to review projects and coordinate with onsite personnel and contractors at AWS' Data Centers.
- Having fun and offering a creative, out of the box solutions.
This is an opportunity to leverage and grow your existing engineering experience in an innovative and highly collaborative environment where the results of your work will directly impact AWS and its customers.
