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.


As a Data Center Design Manager you will be part of a global engineering leadership team, comprised of highly effective Architects, Structural, Civil, Mechanical, Electrical, and Control Engineers.

AWS self-performs engineering on the majority of our capacity delivery projects.

This unique vantage point allows the Design Managers to maintain a close connection with project details and drive project outcomes.

You will have impact on the design direction and ability to improve design delivery for an entire region, while establishing design procedures and protocols for the development of future systems.

This role is an opportunity to collaborate with many facets of the AWS organization, external engineering resources and regulatory agencies.

Key job responsibilities

  • Leading a team of engineers in the design of data center critical infrastructure systems
  • Facilitating weekly meetings with internal engineer resources, internal customers and external consultants to address design issues, meet design milestones and escalate as needed.
  • Driving process improvements
  • Creating and tracking metrics related to cost, quality and duration of design as well as collecting data from construction and commissioning teams as designs are implemented.
  • Establishing capital project design budgets and contributing to complex business cases for existing region and new region deployment.
  • Collaborating with AWS finance teams to secure funding for projects.
  • Working in partnership with AWS Engineering leads to schedule engineering resources and influence design changes based on internal customer needs.
  • Partnering with internal customers to establish project scope, schedule and deliverables.
  • Managing document controller's workflow and audit of deliverables
