AWS Data Center Design Engineering is seeking a Design Program Manager (PM).
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 Design Program Manager you will join a team of Sr. Engineers responsible for solving technical challenges related to design innovation, quality assurance, and continual improvement, for our rapidly expanding data center footprint. The Design PM will support the Sr. Engineering team by tracking, reporting, and documenting information needed for the team to deliver results to leadership and to the larger Design Engineering organization related to continual innovation and improvement of data center designs. A successful candidate for this role will be able to demonstrate experience creating, managing, and organizing data and documents, and have a bias for using and/or creating automation or AI tools for simplification of scalable solutions.
The ideal candidate will be an architect or engineer (civil/structural/mechanical/electrical) that is interested in using their Program Management skills while learning and gaining experience in data center design. This role will require data organization and management, document writing, specification editing, document organization, creating wiki pages, creating presentations, creating automation tools, exploring and creating AI tools. It will also allow for a candidate to learn more about data center design for an opportunity to develop their career and grow into an architect or engineer role on the Data Center Design Engineering team.
Additional duties may include making updates to our Basis of Design (BOD), implementing design standards, expanding energy saving concepts, and developing building construction documents. In this role, the PM will work with a best-in-class group of architects and engineers to produce construction documents, and assist senior architects and engineers with detailed project work.
