Sr Availability TPM, DCE Availability

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 Engineering Availability team is looking for an Availability TPM to serve as a technical resource and leader. The builder will be responsible for driving large-scale global projects and initiatives, that directly impact capacity delivery and availability for our customers.
If you like to interact with customers and a diverse array of stakeholders, track and analyze performance data, and develop new processes and methods to drive improvements, we’d like to meet you. Your work will help ensure delivering high availability for AWS customers.

The Firmware and Settings program objective is to establish an AWS-Approved Global Firmware & Settings Repository for critical infrastructure equipment, a companion As-Left repository, a comparator to identify non-compliant infrastructure equipment requiring remediation, and a tool to issue corrective actions.

The program comprises three main areas: data collection, tool development, and process development.

Data collection involves defining “as-expected” firmware and settings for critical infrastructure equipment, and auditing and remotely polling the “as-left” firmware and settings values on equipment.

Tool development involves developing tools and modifying existing tools to satisfy the requirements of the FSM program.

Process development focuses on customer-facing processes, internal mechanisms, and revising existing processes. Interim and permanent processes will define how Commissioning, Data Center Engineering Operations (DCEO), and various Data Center Engineering (DCE) teams access and update firmware and settings data. Internal mechanisms will define how DCSA and DCE monitor, triage, and issue corrective actions for non-compliant equipment. Finally, existing configuration management processes will be revised to ensure changes to approved design configurations are captured in the AWS-Approved Global Firmware & Settings Repository.
