Sr ICT Colo Regional Engineer, Colocation Region Engineering- AMER

Description

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.

As an ICT Colo Regional Engineer you will be part of a global engineering team, comprised of highly effective Mechanical, Electrical, and Control Engineers. The ICT Colo 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 a member of this team, you will work directly with engineers and managers across the company to develop connectivity solutions for the physical layer. You will work with the rest of the design team to provide pathway and cabling designs and specification for construction and permitting. You will also work with industry suppliers and manufacturers to develop product requirements and recommend new technologies.
