– Perform design and equipment submittal review for new Data Centers in your region.
– Troubleshoot, conduct Root Cause Analysis (RCA) and create Corrective Action (CA) documentation for site/equipment failures.
– Directly support operational issues with ad-hoc training, complex operating procedure reviews, including critical equipment, and event support.
– Own the design for existing data center upgrades and design-solutions, which add capacity, improve availability, and increase efficiency.
– Lead, Review, and approve designs for existing co-location (colo) data center upgrades which improve availability/efficiency.
– Interface with internal data center design engineering team, server hardware team, environmental health and safety team to promote standards that maintain consistency and reliability in services delivered.

Amazon’s vision is to be the world’s most customer-centric company, and this role is key to that vision. As a Field Engineer, you will be leading projects to fit out our data centers to meet ever-evolving customer needs as we continue expanding our fleet to hyper-scale. As an ideal candidate you:
– Possess Strong Engineering Judgement and are able to provide recommendations despite uncertainty
– Are detail and data oriented
– Have experience managing engineering projects and consultants.
– Build trust and relationships with different stakeholders (e.g., Operations, Commissioning, Construction and Design)
– Be inclined to get into the field to see things up close.
Each day you will interact with different teams responsible for all aspects of the data centers. You will prioritize your activities to support data center capacity availability and safety focusing on the actions that are most impactful. You will have the opportunity to work on projects locally and globally.
This position requires that the candidate selected be a U.S. citizen and obtain and maintain an active TS/SCI security clearance with polygraph. Upon application you will be asked qualifying questions that will be used only in relation to the US Government Security Clearance required for this role.
This position involves on-call responsibilities. We don’t like getting paged in the middle of the night or on the weekend, so we work to ensure that our systems are fault tolerant. When we do get paged, we work together to resolve the root cause so that we don’t get paged for the same issue twice.
If you meet these qualifications, exude passion, and enjoy the challenge of innovative projects at hyper-scale, this job is for you!
