About The Position
Amazon Web Services is seeking a Senior Product Lifecycle Electrical Engineer to be part of a global engineering team responsible for ownership and continuous improvement related to electrical controls infrastructure products within our rapidly expanding data center footprint. The Electrical Product Lifecyle Engineering (PLE) Team within Controls Products & Services drives product and process improvements for AWS infrastructure controls products that are in the sustaining phase of the product lifecycle. PLE goals are high product reliability and availability, agility, and reduced costs for our customers. PLE requests feedback from product customers to understand areas for improvement and then prioritize new feature requests, documentation updates, and product and process improvements to maintain customer trust. PLE is data driven, monitoring equipment maintenance and failure data, identifying failure trends, and troubleshooting to determine root causes of failures. The product lifecycle engineering team provides technical management for sustaining products. We are looking for engineers with hands on electrical controls infrastructure design and product development experience. If you can design and troubleshoot PLC and relay based electrical controls systems, 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. You should be capable of understanding equipment specifications and evaluating the merit of design changes. As a Global Amazon Product Lifecycle Engineer, you will provide electrical controls infrastructure product lifecycle 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 support the product through its operational life. You will be a global ‘go-to’ engineering resource for electrical AWS products deployed in data centers. Amazon has a global presence. Travel will be necessary, will be intermittent and should be expected to reach up to 50%. International support will be part of the job, and some international travel may be necessary. Your contribution could consist of leading international projects and could require developing engineering information packages.
