Support fault-state and protection integration.
SST System Alignment
Lead the system-aligned state machine and system behavior implementation, including OFF, Standby, Precharged, ON, Fault and Warning states.
Coordinate VRT/FRT, MVAC load acceptance/rejection, ESS power sharing, LVDC regulation, redundancy and recovery behavior.
Define telemetry and control interfaces required for Modbus TCP/IP and the broader data-center operational interface.
A day in the life
In this role, you'll focus on architecting the digital signal processing and FPGA control systems that manage power conversion and distribution across our data centers. You'll start your day reviewing control performance data and collaborating with power electronics and firmware teams to refine real-time implementations. You might spend time defining control interfaces between sensors, protection systems, and communications protocols, then shift to validating system behavior under dynamic load conditions.
You'll also mentor other control and firmware engineers, sharing your expertise in hierarchical control design and helping them navigate implementation challenges. Your work spans from theoretical control architecture decisions to hands-on troubleshooting of transient responses and fault-state behaviors on actual hardware platforms.
About the team
We are the team that keeps AWS infrastructure running reliably across the globe. Our mission is to design, plan, deliver, and operate the systems that power every AWS data center—managing thousands of variables across power, cooling, networking, and storage to ensure our customers have continuous access to the services they depend on. We're building next-generation power systems that require innovative control strategies, and we're looking for someone who can help us establish new standards in this space. You'll work alongside power electronics specialists, embedded software engineers, and systems architects who are committed to solving complex technical challenges. Together, we're shaping the future of how data centers manage and distribute power efficiently and reliably.
