DESCRIPTION
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.
We work on the most challenging problems, with thousands of variables impacting the supply chain — and we're looking for talented people who want to help.
You'll join a diverse team of software, hardware, and network engineers, supply chain specialists, security experts, operations managers, and other vital roles.
You'll collaborate with people across AWS to help us deliver the highest standards for safety and security while providing seemingly infinite capacity at the lowest possible cost for our customers.
The Architect in Data Center Engineering - Civil, Structural, Architectural Solutions (DCE-CSAS) team has the ability to understand customer demand as well as the technology & business opportunities that exist in order to achieve the organization's goals.
You understand key problems, and propose and analyze multiple solutions to produce the most efficient, cost-effective, resilient, and scalable architectural designs/remediations achievable.
The Architect in DCE-CSAS provides the global vision, rationale, and recommendations to leadership teams for next-generation data center architectural design and remediation on new and existing sites, while ensuring current architectural systems meet performance and operational standards.
Key job responsibilities
Understand the key aspects of legacy and modern data center architectural systems.
Identify improvement areas in existing and next-generation data center designs to address master planning, building architectural systems, constructability, and sustainability.
Communicate conceptual architectural data center designs and remediation solutions to internal and external project partners.
Create, review, and release architectural design RFPs and manage external design consultants.
Provide relevant feedback into Basis of Designs, prototype designs, and template specifications for architectural systems.
Coordinate with internal and external Civil, Structural, Mechanical, Electrical, Controls, Cabling, and Security design engineers & Construction, Operations, and Commissioning on concepts, builds, and retrofit projects.
Lead designs for concepts, build, and retrofit projects at existing data centers.
Collaborate with operations teams to perform root cause analyses of site issues.
Provide subject-matter expertise to partner teams for architectural scope.
Engage with local authority-having-jurisdictions and code officials.
Decompose complex problems to distill underlying risks and benefits, and identify straightforward and actionable solutions to reduce risk.
Work on fast-paced concurrent programs across multiple geographical regions.
Facilitate the escalation of low-level project issues to senior engineering.
A day in the life
Amazon has a global presence; therefore 30% to 40% travel will be necessary.
International support will be part of the job, and some international travel will be necessary with short notice.
Support could consist of auditing/inspecting data centers, working on international teams, and could require developing schematic and design document packages for both global future and existing sites.
In this role, you will need the ability and willingness to travel for site walks and field observations internationally/domestically with short notice.
