Data Center Infrastructure Engineer Internship 2027

Join our Field Engineering team and gain hands-on experience supporting the technical infrastructure that powers Amazon Web Services. You'll work alongside experienced engineers to troubleshoot complex systems, contribute to data center optimization projects, and develop expertise in hyper-scale facility operations while learning how cutting-edge technologies keep our data centers running efficiently.

As an intern you will work with leading-edge technologies and equipment and learn how hyper-scale data centers are able to operate efficiently and with minimal downtime. You will work with tenured Field Engineers (FEs), allowing you to learn and experience the day-to-day activities in a fast-paced and high-tech industry. You will support with deep dives into operational events and may also be given your own projects to run, exposing you to internal systems and operational processes.

Key job responsibilities

• Troubleshoot, conduct Root Cause Analysis (RCA) and create Corrective Action (CA) documentation for site/equipment failures.
• Directly support operational issues with ad-hoc training, complex operating procedure reviews, including critical equipment, and event support.
• Own the conceptual design for existing data center upgrades and design-solutions, which add capacity, improve availability, and increase efficiency.
• Interface with internal data center design engineering team, server hardware team, environmental health and safety team to promote standards that maintain consistency and reliability in services delivered.
• Work on concurrent projects.
• Support new construction projects during design, build, commissioning, and handover. A day in the life As a Field Engineering Intern, you'll immerse yourself in the dynamic environment of Amazon data centers, where you'll collaborate with seasoned Field Engineers on real operational challenges. Your day might include investigating equipment failures and documenting root cause analyses, reviewing complex operating procedures with operations teams, or supporting the design and implementation of data center upgrades that enhance capacity and efficiency. You'll participate in concurrent projects ranging from new construction commissioning to facility optimization initiatives, gaining exposure to internal systems and operational processes. Working across multiple technical domains-from electrical and mechanical systems to environmental considerations-you'll develop a comprehensive understanding of how we maintain reliability and performance at scale.
