As a Senior Infrastructure Reliability Engineer you will:

• Proactively drive reliability risk identification, assessment, and mitigation for datacenter infrastructure equipment (e.g., LV Generator, MV Transformers, LV SWGR, Breakers, UPS, HV Transformers, In‑rack Power shelf, etc.).
• Conduct root cause analysis of critical equipment failures and drive continuous improvements to enhance datacenter availability for AWS customers.
• Collaborate with internal and external partners, including suppliers, to drive product specifications, risk identification plans, and execution.
• Apply physics‑of‑failure based approaches to develop and implement analytical and empirical methods for product quality and reliability risk identification during design, manufacture, and deployment stages.
• Perform lifecycle environmental and operational stress analysis (thermal, electrical, chemical, and mechanical) to identify overstress and fatigue‑related product weaknesses.
• Assess electronics manufacturing process quality/reliability issues and evaluate product design risks.
• Use statistical techniques and models to analyze test and field data.
• Lead critical component identification and vendor selection/qualification requirements at component level.
• Develop datacenter system‑level reliability models, perform reliability quantification, and conduct risk analysis for configuration optimization.
• Monitor product performance in the field, conduct root cause analysis of critical failures, and implement corrective and preventive actions.
• Lead vendor auditing and quarterly review processes to drive continuous improvement of datacenter availability.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical or Mechanical Engineering, Engineering Technology, or Reliability Engineering.
• 10+ years of Reliability Engineering work experience in a high‑reliability industry.
• 3+ years of experience with failure analysis activities and root cause analysis.
• 3+ years of experience with accelerated life testing, stress analysis, and finite element analysis.
• Knowledge of reliability engineering tools such as reliability block diagrams, statistical modeling, and data analytics.
• Strong problem analysis, communication, and vendor management skills.
• Ability to travel within the US and internationally.

Preferred Qualifications

• Master’s or Ph.D. in Reliability Engineering, Physics, Electrical, Mechanical, or Materials Engineering, or a related field.
• 10+ years of experience in reliability risk identification and assessment from component to system level using analytical, experimental, and statistical approaches.
• Proven experience applying proactive, cost‑effective reliability approaches throughout product design, manufacture, and deployment stages.
• Experience working with external design and manufacturing supply chain partners.
• Familiarity with major data center infrastructure equipment reliability performance.
• Ability to manage multiple qualification activities and development schedules.
