Senior Structural Engineer, Fleet Remediation Engineering - Civil, Structural, Architectural

Job  | Amazon Data Services, Inc.

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 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 Sr. Structural Engineer, you will provide full life‑cycle support to AWS Data Centers from design inception through site improvement and maintenance. You will be the “go‑to” engineering resource for your region when technical advice is needed, and will use your subject matter expertise in Structural Engineering to:

• Work with a team of multi-disciplinary professionals on conceptual design, build, and retrofit projects at new and existing data centers.
• Create, review and release data center structural improvements and designs.
• Drive refinements to the Basis of Design, product development, sustainability, and template specifications for structural systems to support continuous improvement of future data center designs.
• Serve as a technical advisor for projects, including review of foundation and structural systems.
• Create, review and release structural design RFPs.
• Manage external structural design consultants through the audit, design and implementation of a variety of projects while coordinating with internal engineering, construction and other stakeholder teams.
• Lead initiatives aimed at improving quality, schedule, consistency or reducing costs to in‑flight and future data center construction and improvement projects.
• Work on multiple data center build and capital improvement projects simultaneously without compromising safety and availability constraints.

Amazon has a global presence; therefore 30% to 40% travel will be necessary. Support could consist of auditing/inspecting data centers, working on international teams and could require developing schematic and design document packages for existing sites. In this role you will need the ability and willingness to travel for site walks and field observations internationally or domestically with short notice.

• Bachelor’s degree or equivalent in Structural Engineering.
• Experience reading, interpreting, and creating construction drawings, specifications, and submittal documents.
• 10+ years professional experience in commercial, warehouse, and/or industrial new design and remediation with working knowledge of structural engineering conventional practices.
• Experience in seismic design and detailing for structural steel and reinforced concrete structures, regulations, and standards including IBC and ASCE.

• Master’s degree in Structural Engineering.
• Professional Engineer License.
• Experience in data center or mission‑critical facility design with basic multidisciplinary knowledge of mission‑critical systems, design process, pre‑construction requirements and the construction process.
• Experience using a variety of web‑based and other software tools for calculation and data processing.
• Experience using one or more of the following technologies (e.g., AutoCAD, Rhino, Revit, Solid Works, CREO, BIM
  360, Sketch Up, Key Shot) to deliver high‑quality models and designs.
