Systems Modeling Mechanical Engineer, Fleet Remediation Engineering

Job :  | Amazon Data Services, Inc.

AWS Infrastructure Services owns the design, planning, delivery, and operation of all AWS global infrastructure. We support all AWS data centers and all servers, storage, networking, power, and cooling equipment that ensure customers have continued access to the innovation they rely on. We work on the most challenging problems with thousands of variables impacting the supply chain and are looking for talented people 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. Together we provide safety, security, and capacity at the lowest possible cost while fostering an inclusive culture that welcomes bold ideas and empowers you to own them to completion.

• Build and maintain high-fidelity system models of data center mechanical systems, including cooling infrastructure (CRAC/CRAH, DAHU, chillers, liquid cooling) and airflow environments, calibrated against physical test data and field measurements.
• Develop and execute CFD simulations to predict thermal performance, pressure drop, airflow distribution, and failure modes across a range of operating conditions.
• Automate simulation workflows and what‑if scenario testing using Python, MATLAB, or equivalent scripting tools to accelerate design iteration.
• Lead pre‑deployment validation of new and first‑of‑a‑kind mechanical products such as rear‑door heat exchangers, cold plates, DLC systems, high‑density air‑handling units, and advanced rack architectures.
• Design and conduct hardware‑in‑the-loop (HIL) lab testing that replicates realistic datacenter loading scenarios, validating system behavior under Day 1 field deployment conditions.
• Define and own Design Verification Plans and test procedures for prototype hardware, covering thermal, pressure, flow, and transient response testing.
• Perform root cause analysis on design failures, reproducing failure modes in simulation or the lab, and produce data‑backed validation reports to support deployment sign‑off decisions.
• Partner with cross‑functional teams to validate integrated system performance and build simulation‑based business cases for new technology adoption.
• Develop institutional validation frameworks – repeatable test methodologies, simulation standards, and acceptance criteria – that scale across datacenter programs.
• Ensure deployed systems are validated against realistic failure scenarios, load transients, and edge‑case conditions to support Day 1 operational readiness.

• Knowledge of mechanical or electrical systems design.
• Master’s degree in mechanical engineering, thermal engineering, or a related field.
• 6+ years of experience in data center design, construction, or operations with a strong focus on thermal modeling.
• Deep proficiency in CFD software such as Ansys Fluent or equivalent.
• Proficiency in Python, MATLAB, or C++ for data analysis and automation.
• Hands‑on experience with mechanical test fixtures, sensors, and data acquisition systems (DAQ).
• Excellent communication and report‑writing skills.

• Experience designing or testing high‑density or liquid cooling systems.
• Knowledge of BIM/Revit for facility layout.
• Familiarity with ASHRAE guidelines for data center thermal management.
