Systems Integration Engineer, Fleet Remediation Engineering

Job Overview

Amazon Data Services, Inc. AWS Infrastructure Services owns the design, planning, delivery, and operation of all AWS global infrastructure. As a Systems Integration Engineer with deep expertise in Hardware‑in‑the‑Loop (HIL) testing, you will serve as the critical bridge between software simulation environments and physical hardware—ensuring that control systems, firmware, and mechanical infrastructure perform as designed before field deployment.

• Design and build HIL test environments that replicate realistic datacenter loading scenarios—power transients, thermal ramp events, cooling system interactions, and failure injection—to validate hardware and control systems under conditions that mirror Day 1 field deployment.
• Own the integration layer between physical hardware (mechanical systems, electrical infrastructure, sensors, actuators) and software simulations, ensuring bidirectional signal fidelity and realistic closed‑loop behavior.
• Develop and execute integration test plans covering functional verification, stress testing, fault injection, and edge‑case scenarios for FOAK products.
• Define and maintain Design Verification Plans (DVPs) and acceptance criteria for integrated system behavior across thermal, electrical, mechanical, and control system interactions.
• Automate HIL test workflows using Python, MATLAB/Simulink, or equivalent tools—to enable repeatable, scalable test execution and continuous integration of hardware validation into the product development cycle.
• Lead Root Cause Analysis (RCA) on integration failures by reproducing failure modes in the HIL environment, isolating hardware vs. software root causes, and producing data‑backed reports that support deployment sign‑off decisions.
• Partner with cross‑functional teams—mechanical, controls, electrical engineers—to align on integration requirements, test coverage gaps, and deployment readiness criteria.
• Build and maintain simulation‑hardware co‑validation frameworks—combining CFD/thermal models, electrical simulations, and physical test data—to create high‑confidence validation packages for new technology adoption.
• Develop institutional HIL standards—repeatable test methodologies, rig architectures, signal interface specifications, and acceptance criteria—that scale across datacenter programs and product generations.
• Support commissioning and operational readiness by translating HIL validation findings into field deployment guidance, operational runbooks, and risk mitigation strategies.

• Knowledge of mechanical or electrical systems design.
• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Systems Engineering, or Industrial Automation.
• 6+ years in systems integration, HIL testing, or systems validation—preferably in data center, industrial, or mission‑critical infrastructure environments.
• Hands‑on experience designing and operating HIL test rigs, including real‑time simulation platforms (e.g., RTDS, OPAL‑RT, or equivalent).
• Demonstrated ability to interface with PLCs, BMS controllers, firmware, and SCADA systems in a closed‑loop test environment.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to translate complex integration findings into clear deployment recommendations.

• Experience with datacenter mechanical systems—cooling infrastructure (CRAC/CRAH, DAHU, chillers, liquid cooling), airflow management, and power distribution.
• Familiarity with CFD tools (e.g., Ansys Fluent, Cadence) for co‑validation with physical test results.
• Knowledge of generator systems, UPS, and electrical infrastructure behavior under transient loading conditions.
• Experience supporting FOAK product validation and deployment readiness in large‑scale infrastructure programs.
