Engineering Manager - Electrical​/Mechanical Systems Modeling, Fleet Remediation Engineering

About the role

AWS Infrastructure Services owns the design, planning, delivery, and operation of all AWS global infrastructure. 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 a Systems Engineering Manager, you will lead the newly established System Modeling and Simulations (SMS) team within the Fleet Remediation Engineering (FRE) organization. As the SMS Team Lead, you will establish, build, and operate a state-of-the-art simulation and testing lab in Seattle, WA, creating the technical infrastructure and organizational capabilities needed to validate every new electrical and mechanical data center product before it reaches a live facility.

You will directly manage a team of up to 10 specialized engineers guiding them to deliver world‑class simulation and hardware‑in‑the‑loop validation work across AWS’s rapidly expanding global data center fleet.

• Hire and develop world‑class engineering talent across mechanical, electrical, simulation, and systems integration/HIL domains
• Manage team and individual performance, including promotions
• Build a high‑performing, inclusive team culture grounded in Amazon's Leadership Principles, with a bias for technical rigor and operational excellence
• Manage team roadmap prioritization, workload balancing, and resource allocation across multiple concurrent product validation work streams
• Represent the SMS team in FRE leadership forums, program reviews, and cross‑organizational planning sessions
• Partner with the FRE Technical Program Manager to manage project timelines, dependencies, and deliverable commitments for internal customers
• Develop and manage the SMS team's operating budget, including lab infrastructure, tooling, and headcount planning
• Drive continuous improvement of team processes, validation methodologies, and engineering standards

• Bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, or an equivalent engineering science
• 3+ cumulative years of experience managing an engineering team
• Demonstrated technical expertise in either power systems engineering (generators, UPS, switch gear, protection relays, transformers) or mechanical/thermal systems engineering (cooling infrastructure, airflow, thermal modeling)
• Hands‑on experience with simulation or modeling tools applicable to electrical power systems or mechanical/thermal systems (e.g., PSCAD, ETAP, Ansys Fluent, MATLAB/Simulink, or equivalent)
• Familiarity with Hardware‑in‑the‑Loop (HIL) testing concepts and principles, or hands‑on experience with hardware validation methodologies in electrical or mechanical systems
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with demonstrated ability to present complex technical findings to senior leadership and cross‑functional stakeholders

• Advanced coursework or research focus in power system dynamics, transient stability, thermal‑fluid simulation, or real‑time simulation platforms
• Hands‑on experience with FOAK product deployment programs in hyperscale or large‑scale data center environments
