Senior Manager, High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) Infrastructure Engineering, Data Center Infrastructure Engineering

Amazon Web Services (AWS) spans 120 Availability Zones within 38 geographic Regions around the world, with announced plans for 10 more Availability Zones and three more Regions — making AWS the most extensive global cloud infrastructure provider and one of the fastest-growing enterprise technology companies ever. Amazon's AWS Data Centers (DC) are a major component of worldwide cloud-computing infrastructure and are industry-leading examples of mission-critical facilities. Engineers in AWS work to design resilient, cost-effective DC facilities. We are responsible for achieving world-class uptime for our customers and developing a fleet of buildings emphasizing security, safety, and efficiency, while finding new ways to meet AWS's growing demand. We justify and communicate the technical decisions we make directly to AWS leadership and work hard to drive continuous advancements in our designs. As an Engineering Manager at AWS, you will have the opportunity to impact changes in our current design and establish design procedures and protocols for future systems. AWS Engineering is responsible for the design of all electrical and mechanical systems within all Amazon DCs worldwide. The team works directly with operations, security teams, field engineering, and construction management to implement designs that are functional, practical, and innovative. The team is seeking a Senior High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) Infrastructure Engineering Manager with demonstrated expertise in the design, analysis, and deployment of high-voltage direct current distribution systems, with specific emphasis on 800VDC bus architectures or comparable voltage classes (e.g., ±400V, 600VDC, 1500VDC) in industrial, utility, transportation, renewable energy, or large-scale power infrastructure applications. This is a highly specialized, foundational engineering role on a newly formed team chartered to design and develop a next-generation, facility-scale High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) power architecture purpose-built for Generative AI compute loads. This is a greenfield, industry-defining effort — reference designs at this scale and application do not broadly exist in the data center industry. As such, we are seeking engineers with deep domain expertise in high-power HVDC and power conversion systems who bring the intellectual foundation and engineering rigor to translate that expertise into a novel data center context. Direct data center experience is welcomed but is not a prerequisite for this role You will be responsible for delivery of projects, applying design quality controls, and providing technical guidance to team members. As a subject matter expert, you will be responsible for the design of prototypical DC facilities, localization of conceptual innovations, solving large-scale implementation issues, and building strong relationships with the regional industry. This role represents a rare opportunity to define a new class of data center power infrastructure from the ground up. The successful candidate will not be expected to know all the answers on day one — they will be expected to have the engineering depth, intellectual rigor, and collaborative mindset to help build them.
