DESCRIPTION
Amazon Web Services is seeking an Electrical Engineering Manager to lead an electrical design team and become part of a global engineering team, responsible for the design and continuous innovation of our rapidly expanding data center foot print. 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.
We are looking for engineers and leaders with hands on electrical design experience. If you can design an electrical system, have an understanding of the critical equipment needs for a data center, understand the constructability of varying designs, and lead an electrical design team you may be a good fit. As we grow we are structuring our team to own more of our engineering in house. Engineers will be responsible for taking designs from concept to the permit and construction document set. You must be capable of leading a team to define critical equipment specifications and approve equipment submittals. Engineers will directly support construction and be a part of the process from site selection review through commissioning and ultimately turnover.
Engineers at Amazon work to design resilient, cost effective electrical distribution systems. As engineers at Amazon, we are responsible for achieving a world class uptime for our customers. We justify and communicate the technical decisions we make to Sr. Management and work hard to drive continuous advancements and improvements with our designs. As an engineer at Amazon you have the ability to drive change and define/design the systems our customers rely on.
Amazon offers a fast paced, fun, and exciting work environment. We continue to grow at exponential rates and are looking for individuals that can support our speed to market, enjoy a challenge, and have a desire for professional growth and continuous learning experiences. Amazon’s work environment is unique in every aspect and offers an exceptional opportunity for the right candidate.

Travel to our data centers (located throughout AMER region), yearly team off-sites and vendor factory visits are required. Domestic travel could be up to 20% of your time. International support will be part of the job and some international travel will be necessary. Support could consist of working on international teams and could require developing schematic and design document packages. An understanding of international electrical design requirements is helpful but not necessary.

Mid Level Electrical Engineering Manager Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get a mid level electrical engineering manager job?
Position yourself around ownership, not just contribution. Highlight projects where you led design decisions, coordinated across teams, or mentored others, even informally. Tailor your resume to show measurable outcomes like reduced design cycles, cost savings, or successful product launches. Applying to roles where your experience matches the stated scope, rather than stretching too far, improves your callback rate significantly.
Which companies hire mid level electrical engineering managers?
Companies hiring mid level electrical engineering managers right now include Amazon, HDR, and WSP, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Hiring at this level comes from a wide range of employers, including established manufacturers, defense contractors, and technology-driven product companies scaling their engineering teams.
Are there remote mid level electrical engineering manager jobs?
Yes, though hardware-adjacent roles have limits on full remote arrangements. About 27% of mid level electrical engineering manager openings are remote or hybrid as of November 2026, concentrated in companies with distributed engineering teams or software-defined product development. Hybrid schedules are more common for roles that require periodic lab access or cross-functional on-site collaboration.
How do I move up to a mid level electrical engineering manager role?
Moving into a mid level role requires building depth in a specialization, such as power systems, embedded hardware, or PCB design, while taking on progressively larger project scope. Demonstrating that you can own a deliverable, coordinate with cross-functional teams, and produce measurable results positions you for mid level consideration. Seeking out stretch assignments and informal leadership opportunities accelerates that progression.
Which industries hire the most mid level electrical engineering managers?
Mid Level electrical engineering manager roles concentrate in Consulting & Professional Services, Technology & Software, and Energy, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. These sectors drive consistent hiring at this level because they depend on complex electrical systems, product iteration cycles, and engineering teams that need experienced managers to bridge technical execution and project delivery.
