Engineering Manager, Data Center Electrical Products and Services

About the role

AWS Infrastructure Services owns the design, planning, delivery, and operation of all AWS global infrastructure. We support all AWS data centers and the servers, storage, networking, power, and cooling equipment that ensure our customers have continual access to the innovation they rely on. You'll join a diverse team of electrical, mechanical, facility, and manufacturing engineers, supply chain specialists, and operations managers to help deliver the highest standards for safety and security while providing seemingly infinite capacity at the lowest possible cost for our customers.

Within Infrastructure Services and Data Center Engineering, the Electrical Products and Services team is developing resilient electrical distribution products and systems. Our designs fundamentally change the data center, providing operational and financial benefits critical to AWS's success. As a Product Engineering Manager, you will lead a team of electrical and mechanical engineers, owning end-to-end product design and development of standardized electrical products that distribute power throughout our data centers—from the electrical room to the rack (e.g., Low Voltage Switchgear, Power Distribution Cabinets (PDU/RPPs), and Power whips built to standards such as UL891, IEC 61439, and UL2875).

This role requires approximately 25% travel to AWS offices, data centers, suppliers, vendors, and product validation sites. While most travel is domestic, some international travel may be required. Open to hiring in Austin, Seattle, Columbus, or Northern Virginia.
