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.) throughout their lifecycle.

As a Sr Supplier Quality Engineer you will interface with AWS Engineering teams, Procurement teams, Commissioning teams and suppliers to manage infrastructure equipment quality. Our Sr. Supplier Quality Engineer is responsible for supplier qualifications, quality monitoring at supplier sites, supplier quality issue resolution and supplier development and quality improvement initiatives.
