Are you passionate about designing and optimizing the critical infrastructure that powers one of the world's largest and most complex networks? Amazon is looking for a Senior Electrical Engineer to take on a technical leadership role in the design, architecture, and continuous improvement of our data center infrastructure systems. In this role, you will tackle ambiguous, high-impact problems across global projects, driving solutions that are inventive, scalable, and maintainable. You will serve as a key technical resource, guiding infrastructure strategy and influencing decisions that shape the long-term reliability and efficiency of our facilities. If you are a collaborative problem solver who thrives on simplifying complex systems and mentoring others, we want to hear from you.

Key job responsibilities
• Support the Data Center Design Engineering, Principal Engineering, and Hardware Engineering teams to design and develop innovative concepts into new mechanical cooling products (AHUs, chiller, pump skids, ADACs) used in AWS data centers.
• Lead the electrical aspect of new product design and development for mechanical cooling equipment, including motor controls, VFDs, power distribution panels, control wiring, and instrumentation integration.
• Collaborate with other disciplines such as mechanical engineering, structural engineering, controls/automation, reliability, QA/QC, and compliance to create well-thought-out products.
• Design and specify electrical systems for rotating equipment including fans, pumps, and compressors, ensuring proper motor sizing, protection, and control schemes.
• Create designs which meet or exceed our quality requirements while delivering a return on investment.
• Work with global suppliers and manufacturers to specify appropriate electrical components, devices, and bill of materials for AHUs, skids, and ADACs.
• Ensure compliance with federal, state, and municipal requirements and building codes across different countries, including UL, CE, IEC, NEC/NFPA 70, and other applicable standards for mechanical cooling equipment.
• Prepare, review, and approve product design and drawings including electrical schematics, single-line diagrams, wiring diagrams, panel layouts, cable schedules, and bill of materials.
• Define project scope and provide technical support for information requests prior to, and during manufacturing phases.
• Work with field engineering and commissioning teams to properly set up test processes and validate installation, operation, and performance of electrical systems within mechanical cooling products.
• Develop and review control logic, interlocks, and safety circuits for AHU, skid, chillers and ADAC assemblies in coordination with controls engineers.
• Ability to work on concurrent projects in multiple geographical regions.
• Support of Operations including failure mode and root cause analysis, maintenance and troubleshooting support, and operating procedure review for electrical systems in cooling equipment.
• Be a leader within the group as well as within internal and external teams that support the data center.
• Ability and willingness to travel domestic and internationally for up to 25% of the year.

A day in the life

You might start your morning reviewing infrastructure designs for an upcoming global deployment, collaborating with partner teams to align on architectural decisions. Later, you could lead a project review where you assess proposed solutions for their long-term impact on systems and processes. In the afternoon, you may work through a complex power distribution or cooling challenge, diagnosing root causes and developing a path forward. Throughout, you will share your expertise with colleagues, helping to raise the technical bar across the team.
