What are the responsibilities and job description for the Program Coordinator, Field Engineering 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.
The Data Center Field Engineering Team is the engineering owner for the lifecycle of AWS data centers. This includes supporting new designs/innovations through data center end-of-life, with a focus on root cause analysis of failures, capacity and availability improvement, and optimization of the existing fleet.
As a Field Engineering Program Manager I, you are highly organized, detail-oriented, and an effective communicator, both written and verbally. You will support multi-discipline engineering teams by managing administrative workflows, processes, smooth coordination of tasks that arise from investigations and solutions developed by Field Engineers. You will serve as the connective tissue between engineering outputs and the operational mechanisms needed to drive them to resolution and long-term scalability.
You will work closely with Field Engineers, operations staff, and cross-functional partners to ensure that action items, process workflows, and team ownership are clearly identified, documented, and tracked. You must be skilled at asking relevant questions, gaining alignment from the right stakeholders, and driving clarity where processes or ownership are undefined. You must possess strong organizational skills, attention to detail, and the ability to build effective working relationships across teams.
