Sr. Electrical Design Engineer, Data Center Design Engineering
Job ID: 2679949 | Amazon Data Services, Inc.Amazon Web Services is seeking an Electrical Engineer to become part of a global engineering team, responsible for the design and continuous innovation of our rapidly expanding data center footprint.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 software, hardware, and network 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.Engineers at Amazon work to design resilient, cost-effective electrical distribution systems. As engineers at Amazon we are responsible for achieving a world-class uptime for our customers. We justify and communicate the technical decisions we make to Sr. Management and work hard to drive continuous advancements and improvements with our designs. As an engineer at Amazon you have the ability to drive change and define/design the systems our customers rely on.We are looking for engineers with hands-on electrical design experience. If you can design an electrical system, have an understanding of the critical equipment needs for a data center, and understand the constructability of varying designs you may be a good fit. As we grow we are structuring our team to own more of our engineering in-house. Engineers will be responsible for taking designs from concept to the permit and construction document set. You must be capable of defining critical equipment specifications and approving equipment submittals. Engineers will directly support construction and be a part of the process from site selection review through commissioning and ultimately turnover. You will be relied on as a subject matter expert in the electrical engineering field. At Amazon we highly support continued learning opportunities and focus on continued employee development.At Amazon teamwork is absolutely necessary for us to accomplish our goals. You must be able to work within a team and depend on others to accomplish the required work. As an electrical engineer at Amazon you will be working with other internal groups as well as external groups including utilities, manufacturers, vendors, and contractors.Amazon has a global presence. As this position is based out of Seattle, travel to our other offices will be required occasionally. Travel should be up to 20% of your time, majority throughout the US-based data centers and in-person collaboration efforts not in your assigned office location. International support will be part of the job, and some international travel will be necessary. Support could consist of working on international teams and could require developing schematic and design document packages. An understanding of international electrical design requirements is helpful but not necessary.Key Job Responsibilities
Data center electrical designs and collaboration with other disciplines to create a construction document set.Creation of designs which meet or exceed our quality requirements and fall within our budgetary requirements.Work with local agencies having jurisdiction to ensure compliance with federal, state and municipal requirements and building codes.Review and approval of equipment submittals.Define project scope and provide technical support for information requests prior to, and during construction phases.Work with commissioning teams to properly test and validate installation, operation, and performance of electrical systems.Ability to work on concurrent projects in multiple geographical regions.Travel to sites for site review and work with onsite field engineers, as well as provide engineering evaluations, electrical systems audits, and startup as needed.Having fun and offering creative, out of the box solutions.BASIC QUALIFICATIONS
Bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering, or 12+ years of relevant electrical experience.7+ years of experience with industrial or commercial electrical design.9+ years of experience developing design documentation (plans, specifications, etc.) for construction and/or permitting.PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS
Professional Engineering License and knowledge of building codes and regulations including Life Safety, IBC, NFPA, NEC, and OSHA.Detailed understanding of critical data center electrical equipment (including UPS, diesel generators, electrical switchgear, power distribution units, variable frequency drives and automatic/static transfer switches) and basic understanding of mechanical equipment and system design.Ability to research new designs, technologies, and construction methods of data center equipment and facilities.An ability and willingness to think outside of the box to find creative and innovative solutions to reduce costs with no impact on quality, reliability, or maintainability.Experience with fast track design/build projects, multiple significant upgrade projects, large scale technical operations or large-scale compute farms.Amazon is committed to a diverse and inclusive workplace.
