What are the responsibilities and job description for the Connectivity Engineer, AWS Data Center position at Amazon Web Services (AWS)?
Description
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.
Key job responsibilities
Collaborate with vendors/manufacturers to develop and evaluate new Fiber Optic assemblies and come up with implementation plans for rack-to-rack connectivity plans.
Define and update requirements for structured cabling systems (fiber, copper, cable trays/duct banks) for network layers at hyperscale data centers
Develop standards and installation guidelines for physical network/cabling deployments and structured cabling systems
Assist with troubleshooting problem areas in existing or new network architecture and systems development initiatives, propose and deliver projects that have a significant business and/or customer impact
Partner with fiber vendors and contractors; perform quality control and commissioning of fiber bundles and structured cabling systems
Perform mitigation analysis and site inspections to validate as-built conditions, ensuring compliance with design and operational requirements
Monitor network/system/link quality and build mechanism to remediate large scale events and improve health of our links
Troubleshoot and resolve issues that are causal to fiber connectivity and fiver plant design
Maintain documentation, drawings, and asset records for physical fiber network components across global sites
About The Team
Within AWS Networking, the Network Product Development (NPD) organization is responsible for designing the hardware, building the software, and owning the interconnects for the routers that power the global AWS network. Beyond product delivery, we actively manage the fleet or routers in a network that grows by 70% annually. This means tracking key business and operational metrics to ensure that we operate smoothly and minimize or eliminate customer impact due to device related issues for a transparent AWS customer experience.
Why AWS
Amazon Web Services (AWS) is the world’s most comprehensive and broadly adopted cloud platform. We pioneered cloud computing and never stopped innovating — that’s why customers from the most successful startups to Global 500 companies trust our robust suite of products and services to power their businesses.

We value work-life harmony. Achieving success at work should never come at the expense of sacrifices at home, which is why we strive for flexibility as part of our working culture. When we feel supported in the workplace and at home, there’s nothing we can’t achieve in the cloud.
