Sr. Infrastructure Reliability Engineer, Infrastructure Reliability & Quality

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.

Our Amazon Web Services Infrastructure Reliability & Quality (IRQ) engineering team provides engineering support for our data center infrastructure equipment (Air Handling Unit, Switchgear, Breaker, Panel Board, UPS, Transformers, Generators, ATS etc.) as well as infrastructure security equipment (Cameras, Access Control, etc.) throughout their lifecycle. A critical piece of this support is ensuring the highest level of initial quality and ongoing support from our suppliers.

Our Snr Reliability Engineers 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. They 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. Evaluate product design quality/reliability risks and assess electronics manufacture process related quality/reliability issues.

They drive critical component identification and the associated vendor selection and qualification requirements. Using their knowledge of process capability for electronic component production as well as system-level performance requirements to establish critical to quality and reliability metrics, they develop datacenter system level reliability model and related reliability quantification and risk analysis for datacenter configuration optimization.

During sustaining stage, you 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. You will drive effective vendor auditing and quarterly review process to drive the continuous improvements of datacenter availability.

As an SME in the reliability engineering field and product reliability leadership, as well as business negotiations and program management, you will conduct problem analysis and solve as well as communicate with vendors.

In this role, you will be required to travel within APAC and internationally.

Key job responsibilities
Here are the key role responsibilities for this role :
– Proactively drive reliability risk identification, assessment, and mitigation for critical data center infrastructure equipment
– Conduct comprehensive root cause analysis of any critical equipment failures in the field
– Collaborate cross-functionally with internal and external partners to influence product specification, design, and reliability qualification
– Develop and maintain data center infrastructure reliability models and quantify reliability risks
– Monitor field performance and drive ongoing reliability improvements
– Serve as a subject matter expert and provide technical leadership on reliability engineering best practices
