Physical Security Field Engineer,

Join to apply for the Physical Security Field Engineer, Data Center Engineering role at Amazon Web Services (AWS)

Description

Amazon's vision is to be the world's most customer-centric company, and this role is key to that vision. As a Security Field Engineer, you will be deep diving security products that protect our customers in our data centers to meet ever-evolving customer needs as we continue expanding our fleet to hyper-scale. We are looking for security engineers from diverse backgrounds, who are creative problem solvers, and passionate about delivering security solutions at scale. Our programs, controls, and services underpin many cloud technologies, so we carefully consider our technology decisions, dependency trees, and architectures to ensure that the company's critical services can depend on us. We are a global team and have a culture of learning from each other. We don't expect people to join our team knowing everything. We want people who are excited to learn, to challenge the status quo, and who are energized by building highly scalable and available systems on a global scale.

Key job responsibilities

• Provide full life-cycle support to AWS Data Centers from design inception through site improvement and maintenance. Act as the go-to engineering resource for your region when technical advice is needed, engaging with diverse teams to: perform design and equipment submittal review for security products in our Data Centers; troubleshoot and perform RCA with corrective action documentation for site/equipment failures; directly support operational issues with ad-hoc training and critical equipment/event reviews; review designs for existing and new products to improve security and efficiency; interface with internal design engineering teams, server hardware teams, and EHS teams to promote standards; work on concurrent projects across multiple regions; initiate and lead security site audits with risk and remediation reporting.

You will balance strong technical depth with the soft skills required to collaborate across the company to mitigate emerging risk. Engineers in this role must demonstrate resilience and an aptitude for navigating complex problems with composure and tact, with a strong sense of customer obsession to keep Amazon and its customers secure.

About the team

You'll join a diverse team of electrical, mechanical, controls, structural, and fire protection engineers, supply chain specialists, security experts, operations managers, and other vital roles. You'll collaborate with people across AWS to deliver high standards for safety and security at a reasonable cost, and you'll experience an inclusive culture that empowers you to own your work to completion.
