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, collaborating across AWS to deliver the highest standards for safety and security while providing seemingly infinite capacity at the lowest possible cost.

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.

Responsibilities

• Build and lead a high-performing engineering team by hiring talent that demonstrates Amazon Leadership Principles, managing performance and promotions, and creating clear growth plans for each team member.
• Own the design, qualification, and New Product Introduction (NPI) of power distribution equipment into at-scale manufacturing, meeting quality, safety, cost, and capacity requirements.
• Identify and mitigate risks, unblock engineers and partner teams, and navigate difficult situations including escalations to ensure project timeliness and success.
• Collaborate directly with partner teams and suppliers to implement and improve processes regionally and propagate best practices globally.
• Provide clear technical strategy and communication across all organizational levels.

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, or an equivalent engineering science.
• 6+ years developing, designing, deploying electrical products, ideally in a mission-critical environment—from concept to production and sustaining, with at least 2 years of experience in people management.

Preferred Qualifications

• Master's degree in electrical or mechanical engineering.
• 5+ years of people management experience in product development or product management.

Benefits

• Comprehensive health insurance (medical, dental, vision, prescription, Basic Life & AD&D insurance, and optional supplemental life plans).
• Employee Assistance Program (EAP), Mental Health Support, and Medical Advice Line.
• Flexible Spending Accounts.
• Adoption and Surrogacy Reimbursement coverage.
• 401(k) matching.
• Paid time off and parental leave.
