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.
AWS Infrastructure Services is seeking an exceptional Quality Assurance Cabling Manager to lead a data center quality team in our Global Network Delivery organization. As a key leader in our infrastructure team, you will drive best-in-class cabling quality across AWS' global data centers, helping us maintain our position as the world's most efficient and cost-effective cloud infrastructure provider.
In this role, you will lead a team of Quality Assurance (QA) Engineers, establishing and maintaining the highest quality standards for our data center network deployments. Your team will be instrumental in ensuring that all build, scaling, and hardware installations meet AWS's rigorous quality guidelines, ultimately enabling seamless cloud services for our customers worldwide.

A day in the life
Your typical day will involve collaborating across multiple disciplines and time zones. You'll start by reviewing quality metrics from previous days inspections and audits and addressing any immediate concerns with your team.

You'll work directly with QA Engineers and managers to refine structured cabling and installation standards, and visiting data centers to ensure compliance and gather insights for continuous improvement. You will find yourself leading technical whiteboard sessions to resolve implementation challenges and presenting quality metrics to senior leadership.
