Job 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. As an Infrastructure Reliability
Engineer, you will be proactively driving the reliability risk
identification, assessment, and mitigation for datacenter
infrastructure equipment, with a specific focus on High Voltage
(HV) substations. You will also be responsible for root cause
analysis of critical equipment failures and drive the continuous
improvements to improve datacenter availability for AWS customers.
You will work closely with both internal and outside partners
including suppliers to drive key aspects of product specification,
risk identification plan and execution. The candidate should have
experience in using Physics-of-Failure based approach to develop
and implement both analytical and empirical approaches for product
quality/reliability risk identification and assessment during
product design, manufacture as well as deployment stages. The
individual should be able to drive AWS application-specific
requirements in carrying out both lifecycle environmental and
operational stress driven risk analysis, including thermal,
electrical, chemical and mechanical stresses so to identify
overstress and fatigue-related product weaknesses. Candidate should
be capable of evaluating not only product design
quality/reliability risks, but also have the skills and experiences
in assessing electronics manufacture process related
quality/reliability issues. Knowledge of statistical techniques and
models is required to analyze test as well as field data.
The candidate will be expected to use knowledge of process
capability for electronic component production as well as
system-level performance requirements to establish critical to
quality and reliability metrics.
At the system level, the individual will develop datacenter system
level reliability model and related reliability quantification and
risk analysis for datacenter configuration optimization. The
candidate will be expected to be familiar with system reliability
engineering tools, such as reliability block diagram, statistical
modeling and data analytics.
During sustaining stage, candidate will be responsible for
monitoring product performance in the field and will be responsible
to drive root cause analysis of any critical failures and the
associated corrective and preventive actions. The individual should
also be able to drive effective vendor auditing and quarterly
review process to drive the continuous improvements of datacenter
availability.
The successful candidate should be considered as an expert in the
reliability engineering field and have a proven track record of
success in not only product reliability leadership, as well as
business negotiations and program management. Strong skill-set in
problem analysis and solving as well as communication and vendor
management are necessary. Candidates should also be able to travel
within US and internationally.
Project Oversight & Coordination:
- Lead reliability engineering efforts for the development of HV
substations.
- Collaborate with project management, design, and engineering
teams to ensure reliability considerations are integrated from the
start.
- Review project plans, specifications, and contracts to ensure
compliance with reliability standards.
Technology & Equipment Qualification:
- Evaluate and qualify new technologies and equipment for HV
substations, ensuring they meet reliability and performance
standards.
- Conduct testing and validation of equipment to ensure it can
withstand operational demands.
- Work with vendors and manufacturers to ensure equipment
reliability through rigorous qualification processes.
Root Cause Analysis (RCA):
- Lead RCA efforts for any failures or unexpected events in HV
substation operations.
- Analyze failure data to identify trends and underlying
causes.
- Reliability Modeling & Analysis:
- Use tools such as Failure Modes, Effects, and Criticality
Analysis (FMECA) to evaluate risks and drive improvements.
