Job Description, Responsibilities & Requirements
About the Position
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.
As a Systems Modeling Electrical Engineer, you will bridge the gap between physical electrical infrastructure and virtual simulation. You will be responsible for creating, maintaining, and validating high-fidelity models of our data center power systems, using these models to optimize performance, predict failures, and validate new, innovative product designs before deployment.
If you are passionate about innovative projects at hyper-scale and meet these qualifications, this role is for you!
Responsibilities
- Build and maintain high-fidelity system models of data center electrical systems.
- Develop and execute power system simulations to predict fault behavior, load flow, short-circuit levels, transient response, and protection coordination.
- Automate simulation workflows and "what-if" scenario testing using Python, MATLAB, or equivalent scripting tools.
- Lead pre-deployment validation of new and FOAK electrical products.
- Design and execute Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) lab testing.
- Define and own Design Verification Plans (DVPs) and test procedures for prototype electrical hardware.
- Perform Root Cause Analysis (RCA) on design failures.
- Partner with cross-functional teams to validate integrated system performance.
- Develop institutional validation frameworks.
- Ensure deployed electrical systems are validated against realistic fault scenarios, load transients, and edge-case operating conditions.
Requirements
- Knowledge of mechanical or electrical systems design
- Education: Master’s in electrical engineering (Power Systems specialization).
- Experience: 6+ years of experience in data center design, construction, or operations, with a strong focus on power system studies and analysis.
- Modeling Skills: Proficiency in PSCAD, PSS/E, and familiarity with other tools (ETAP, SKM, etc).
- Scripting: Proficiency in Python, MATLAB, or C++ for data analysis and automation.
- Validation: Dynamic and transient stability, Voltage, frequency, and system loading analysis.
- Excellent communication and report-writing skills.
Nice to Have
- Experience with HVDC systems and Power Electronic Devices.
- Knowledge of IEC and IEEE standards related to power system studies.
We Offer
- Competitive salary range: $116,800.00 - $160,000.00 USD annually
- Comprehensive benefits including health insurance, 401(k) matching, paid time off, and parental leave.
- Opportunity to work in a diverse and inclusive team culture.
