Original job description
Content provided by the employer
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 ensures 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.
Amazon is seeking an experienced Structural Engineer to join our Mechanical Products and Services team. This essential role will support the analysis, design, coordination, and documentation of structural cooling products used to support AWS infrastructure. The ideal candidate has experience in structural steel and connection design, industrial structures, and structural analysis. Experience with computational design, BIM coordination, and standardized structural systems is preferred.
The Structural Engineer will be responsible for developing structural calculations, design documentation, and coordinated engineering solutions for cooling systems support structures, equipment platforms, elevated structures, bracing systems, and structural connections. The role will work closely with product design engineering teams, global integration engineers, and quality engineers, to develop solutions that are safe, code-compliant, constructible, and scalable.
You will work at the intersection of structural engineering and infrastructure cooling designing the backbone that supports Amazon's world-class infrastructure. This role offers the opportunity to impact projects at scale, with your designs being implemented across multiple facilities worldwide.
Key job responsibilities
- Develop structural calculations and design documentation for cooling systems and associated infrastructure, including equipment supports, structural steel framing, platforms, bracing systems, and structural connections.
- Support the development of structural permit documents, installation drawings, fabrication information, and coordinated BIM models
- Design structural connections from building structure and platforms to equipment, ensuring load path integrity and code compliance
- Create specialized connection details for unique conditions including seismic zones and retrofit applications
- Design and evaluate lateral and sway bracing systems for equipment and structural support systems
- Design structural platforms, access structures, equipment support frames, and other secondary structural systems to support material handling operations
- Perform comprehensive structural analysis and design calculations for cooling products, including air handler units, adiabatic coolers, platforms, equipment supports, and other specialty structures
- Develop clear, organized calculation packages documenting design assumptions, loading criteria, analysis methodology, and results
- Trace load paths from equipment through support structure to building foundation
- Verify equipment vendor load data and coordinate with manufacturers on structural requirements
- Perform structural analysis using software and finite element analysis tools
- Support the development and implementation of standardized structural engineering procedures, workflows, and design systems for material handling systems
- Develop and maintain calculation templates, engineering tools, typical details, and design guidelines
- Support the development and implementation of computational design and engineering automation workflows
- Identify opportunities to improve design efficiency, constructability, fabrication, installation, coordination, and overall project delivery
- Ensure designs comply with applicable building codes, structural standards, project requirements, and Amazon design criteria
- Collaboration & Coordination
- Partner with platform fabricators and manufacturers to integrate structural requirements with equipment specifications
- Coordinate with MEP engineers to resolve conflicts and ensure proper clearances for utilities
- Attend design coordination meetings and provide technical guidance on structural systems to project teams
- Review and approve vendor shop drawings, calculations, and connection submittals
- Ability and willingness to travel domestic and internationally for up to 25% of the year.
