About The Position

AWS Infrastructure Services owns the design, planning, delivery, and operation
of all AWS global infrastructure. In other words, we’re the people who keep the
cloud running. 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. And you’ll experience an inclusive
culture that welcomes bold ideas and empowers you to own them to completion.

Within Data Center Engineering, the Mechanical Products & Services (MPS) team is
driving rapid innovation in Mechanical Cooling and Controls systems used by
Amazon Web Services (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. Our engineers solve
challenging technology problems and take big bets on new concepts enabling AWS
services to continue to revolutionize the industry. This role provides the
opportunity to engage with and lead the Technical Program Management aspect for
these advanced cloud infrastructure solutions and the exceptional people that
develop them.

Our TPMs work closely with key partners to innovate, create, manage, and deliver
holistic programs, and ensure products are fully production ready at launch.
“Production ready at launch” addresses requirements for a product to be viable
for global deployment: approved financials, technical specifications and
designs, supplier sourcing and qualification, testing, operations training, and
similar requirements. We build and execute the plan that addresses requirements
in these areas, resulting in a product or solution that is production ready for
global deployment.

Within AWS Data Center Engineering, the Mechanical Products & Services team
provides engineering expertise and design support for mechanical equipment in
data centers globally. This includes support for new products and design
features that address the mechanical cooling systems included in data center
deployments. We own and support mechanical products throughout their lifecycle.
Our scope also includes emergent global scale remediation strategic efforts that
impact Data Center capacity or availability and introducing and driving business
improvement initiatives increasing visibility and enabling data driven decision
making.
