Description

AWS Infrastructure Services (AIS) designs, plans, delivers, and operates all AWS global infrastructure. We keep the cloud running by supporting AWS data centers and the servers, storage, networking, power, and cooling equipment that give customers continual access to innovation. We solve complex problems with thousands of variables impacting the supply chain.

You'll join software, hardware, and network engineers, supply chain specialists, security experts, operations managers, and other essential roles. You'll collaborate across AWS to deliver the highest standards for safety and security while providing capacity at the lowest cost for customers.

In this role, you will:

Work with Network Deployment and Vendor Management teams to integrate quality assurance into cable installation processes throughout the project lifecycle. You'll participate in reviews of training curriculums and cabling design documents, providing Quality Assurance representation to ensure standards are met during cable installation activities. You'll influence partner teams and cabling vendors to adopt quality assurance checklists that validate conformance to both Amazon and jurisdictional standards during critical milestone checks for cable installation and testing activities.

You'll bring the voice of the customer forward by gathering feedback from internal stakeholders and cabling vendors, then refining quality processes based on their needs. You'll verify that cable installations meet standards by reviewing documentation and data from milestone inspections and cable validation testing. You'll drive cable validation testing adoption and defect management while establishing performance benchmarks to improve vendor performance and enhance quality metrics. You'll document and align cable installation standards and standard operating procedures as new technology and cabling methods integrate into our infrastructure. You’ll also organize training with partner teams and provide guidelines to cabling vendors to ensure consistent execution across all network installations.

This role matters because cable installation quality directly impacts data center network reliability and customer experience. You'll own the quality process from participating in cabling design reviews through training delivery, ensuring our infrastructure meets the standards our customers depend on.

This is an opportunity to leverage and grow your existing program management, quality assurance and engineering experience in an innovative and highly collaborative environment where the results of your work will directly impact AWS and its customers.

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.
