Sr. Infrastructure Reliability Engineer, Infrastructure Reliability & Quality

About the role

As an Infrastructure Reliability Engineer you will be proactively driving the reliability risk identification, assessment and mitigation for datacenter infrastructure equipment (Example: LV Generator, MV Transformers, LV SWGR, Breakers, UPS, HV Transformers). You will also be responsible for root cause analysis of critical equipment failures and drive the continuous improvements to improve datacenter availability for AWS customers. You will work closely with both internal and outside partners including suppliers to drive key aspects of product specification, risk identification plan and execution. You must be ownership minded, independent, action and results oriented to succeed in an open collaborative environment.

Key responsibilities

• Use Physics-of-Failure based approach to develop and implement both analytical and empirical approaches for product quality/reliability risk identification and assessment during product design, manufacture as well as deployment stages
• Drive AWS application-specific requirements in carrying out both lifecycle environmental and operational stress driven risk analysis, including thermal, electrical, chemical and mechanical stresses so to identify overstress and fatigue-related product weaknesses
• Evaluate not only product design quality/reliability risks, but also electronics manufacture process related quality/reliability issues
• Use statistical techniques and models to analyze test as well as field data
• Drive critical component identification and the associated vendor selection and qualification requirements
• Use knowledge of process capability for electronic component production as well as system-level performance requirements to establish critical to quality and reliability metrics
• Develop datacenter system level reliability model and related reliability quantification and risk analysis for datacenter configuration optimization
• Monitor product performance in the field and drive root cause analysis of any critical failures and the associated corrective and preventive actions
• Drive effective vendor auditing and quarterly review process to drive the continuous improvements of datacenter availability
• Travel within US and internationally as needed
