Sr. Quality & Reliability Engineer, Hardware Engineering ServicesAmazon.com Inc.
Job Summary
AWS Infrastructure Services owns the design, planning, delivery, and operation of all AWS global infrastructure. In other words, were 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 were looking for talented people who want to help.
We are seeking a Senior Component Quality & Reliability Engineer to own the end-to-end quality and reliability of liquid cooling components used in next-generation server systems. This role will focus on ensuring that liquid cooling solutions meet performance, durability, and field reliability targets across both new product introduction (NPI) and sustaining phases.
You will serve as the primary owner for liquid cooling component quality and reliability, including cold plates, pumps, manifolds, hoses, quick disconnects, and CDU interfaces. You will drive qualification strategy, monitor supplier quality, and provide field performance insights. This is a highly cross-functional role requiring strong technical judgment, structured problem-solving, and the ability to influence design and manufacturing decisions.
Key job responsibilities
Define and execute reliability validation strategies for liquid cooling components and subsystems
Develop test plans (e.g., HALT, stress testing, lifecycle validation) aligned to real-world use conditions
Lead DFMEA and Design for Reliability (DFR) activities to identify and mitigate risks early
Partner with system teams to ensure proper integration testing and margin validation
Drive root cause analysis for component qualification and fleet failures
Drive corrective and preventive actions with internal teams, manufacturing partners and component suppliers
Translate failure mechanisms into actionable design, material, and process improvements
Lead Supplier Quality
Define critical-to-quality requirements and process controls for suppliers
Conduct supplier audits and support qualification readiness
Partner with suppliers to improve process capability, reliability performance, and defect detection
Analyze fleet performance data (e.g., failure trends, AFR, ARR) for liquid cooling components
Apply statistical methods (e.g., Weibull analysis) to predict risk and inform actions
Drive systemic issue identification and resolution across platforms
Influence Cross-Functional Decisions
Communicate risks clearly
Provide data-driven input to design and architecture tradeoffs
About the team
This team is responsible for the end-to-end lifecycle of mechanical components that enable high-performance, large-scale data center systems. Engineers work as primary owners of their components, partnering closely with suppliers and manufacturing teams to ensure solutions perform reliably from initial development through deployment in the field.
Our mission is to deliver highly reliable, scalable solutions that support increasingly demanding compute workloads. This includes solving challenges related to performance and long-term operation in real-world data center environments.
Engineers develop deep expertise in their component domains, enabling more effective design reviews, targeted validation strategies, and rapid resolution of issues observed during development and in production systems.
