Description

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.

Key job responsibilities

The Controls System Development Engineer is responsible for technical writing tasks, electrical schematic interpretation to IO lists, parts BOM creation, full system development, scaling system design (operational performance & scalability), OT networking, OS configuration, operational excellence, as well as performing in depth root cause analysis of current AWS developed electrical switchgear and generator automation systems.

A day in the life

The SysDev Engineer works with AWS stakeholders ranging from Sr and Principle MEP Engineering, Product and Program managers, and Operations to create and iterate upon the AWS Infrastructure Automation products. Depending on scope and size of projects, this includes developing these systems jointly with the other developers on the team as well as on smaller projects as the sole engineer responsible for all aspects.

Why AWS?

Here at AWS, it’s in our nature to learn and be curious. Our employee-led affinity groups foster a culture of inclusion that empower us to be proud of our differences. Ongoing events and learning experiences, including our Conversations on Race and Ethnicity (CORE) and AmazeCon (gender diversity) conferences, inspire us to never stop embracing our uniqueness.

Work/Life Balance

We value work-life harmony. Achieving success at work should never come at the expense of sacrifices at home, which is why we strive for flexibility as part of our working culture. When we feel supported in the workplace and at home, there’s nothing we can’t achieve in the cloud.
