Want to be part of the team that keeps the world's largest cloud running? As an Engineering Operations Technician Intern at Amazon Web Services (AWS), you will get hands‑on experience with the critical infrastructure behind Amazon's global data centers — and your work will directly impact millions of customers worldwide.

This internship is designed as a potential pathway to full-time employment. Interns who demonstrate strong performance throughout their internship may be considered for a full‑time Engineering Operations Technician position, subject to available roles and business needs.

We welcome applications from:

• Students in the last year of their Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related field who are looking for an internship that could lead to a full‑time career.

As an intern, you will provide technical support within Amazon's owned and operated data centers. Your work will ensure that the data center's mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems operate at 100% availability while maintaining first‑class customer service to the teams and groups on site.

You will be exposed to both independent work and team‑based collaboration. Prioritization, organizational skills, effective communication, and the ability to react quickly are critical to being successful.

The Engineering Operations team is Amazon's front‑line responders for hands‑on electrical and mechanical equipment troubleshooting and operations. You will work with equipment that supports mission‑critical servers and must maintain better than 99.999% uptime. This equipment includes, but is not limited to:

• Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPSs) and Power Distribution Units (PDUs)
• Air Handling Units (AHUs), chillers, and cooling towers
• Chemical treatment systems, pumps, motors, and Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs)
• Building automation systems

Your day‑to‑day duties include:

• Maintaining mechanical and electrical equipment
• Assisting with root cause analysis of equipment failures
• Troubleshooting facility and rack‑level events within internal Service Level Agreements (SLAs)
• Taking daily operational readings of all mechanical and electrical equipment

• Interacting with third‑party vendors and contractors working on site

Amazon internships are full‑time (40 hours per week) for 12 consecutive weeks. This position requires the intern to report to work on site daily. Intern schedules are typically day schedules, Monday through Friday.

Please note that full‑time Engineering Operations Technician roles operate on a rotating shift pattern, which may include days, nights, weekends, and public holidays. Candidates should be willing and able to commit to shift work upon transitioning to a full‑time position.
