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 the Quality Engineer you will perform quality assurance and quality control reviews, track, and manage design drawings, specifications and documents prepared during the engineering design process in order to ensure regulatory, legal, and security compliance.

You will work alongside internal partner teams such as Engineering, Power and Cooling (PAC), Security, Controls, and Commissioning to build Data Centers that directly support our customers. You will also communicate with external stakeholder design consultants. Note: This is a Fixed Term Contract position for 12 months.

• Manage project archiving, tracking, processing and filing activities, assist in naming standard, versioning schema, etc.
• Set up and work on training initiatives for our internal and external partners, and provide tactical support.
• Prepare ad hoc reports on projects progress, Key Performance Indicators (KPI) and progress tracking.
• Collaborate with technical teams in a fast‑paced environment with demonstrated ability to edit and raise the bar on high‑quality technical documentation.
• Configuration Analyst/System Owner for DE design documents.
• Lead and drive process improvements (short‑term wins) as well as process design / redesign (long‑term wins) efforts.
• Manage a portfolio of projects in an assigned region.
• Maintain and add user accounts, security groups, and permission access levels.
• Maintain confidentiality around sensitive documentation.
• Attend team meetings and communicate updates or requirements.
• Execute vision and goals for the team or department.
