Sr. Product Lifecycle Mechanical Engineer, DCE - Mechanical Products & Services (MPS)

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 all of the servers, storage, networking, power, and cooling equipment that ensure our customers have continual access to the innovation they rely on. Within AIS and Data Center Engineering, the Mechanical Solutions team is driving rapid innovation in Mechanical Cooling and Controls systems used by AWS. Our designs are fundamentally changing the Data Center, providing operational and financial benefits that are critical to the success of the AWS business, and its millions of customers.

AWS is seeking a Mechanical Engineer to be part of a global engineering team responsible for ownership and continuous improvement related to Mechanical (Cooling) infrastructure products within our rapidly expanding data center footprint. We are looking for engineers with hands on Mechanical and Manufacturing experience of Mechanical (Cooling) products. If you have experience leading product design of Mechanical products, have an understanding of Mechanical Systems, and know how products should be manufactured to ensure quality you may be a good fit. You should be capable of understanding detailed Mechanical equipment specifications and evaluating the merit and risks of design changes.

As a Global Amazon Product Lifecycle Engineer, you will provide Mechanical infrastructure support to AWS data centers. You will collaborate with the product development team to gain deep understanding of all facets of each product as they are being developed and tested, and then have engineering ownership of the product through its operational life. You will be a global 'go-to' engineering resource for Mechanical AWS products deployed in data centers.
