DESCRIPTION:

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.

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 if 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.
