DESCRIPTION
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.
Amazon Web Services is hiring a Product Design Electrical Engineer for our Electrical Products and Services (EPS) team. EPS is a global engineering team within AWS Data Center Engineering, responsible for the design, development, and continuous improvement of electrical power distribution products used across our rapidly expanding data center footprint. Our product portfolio spans the full electrical distribution chain, including medium voltage switchgear, medium voltage transformers, low voltage switchgear, generators, busduct, transfer switches, power distribution cabinets, and other critical electrical infrastructure.
The EPS team works to design and develop resilient, cost-effective electrical distribution products and systems. As an engineer at Amazon, they are responsible for achieving world class uptime for our customers. They drive continuous advancements and improvements with our designs and communicate technical direction to senior leadership. They seek new ways to improve the reliability, scalability, and cost effectiveness of our engineering designs. As an engineer at Amazon, they have the opportunity to design, innovate, and improve the products our customers rely on.
Amazon offers a work environment where speed and quality matter. We continue to grow 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. Amazon's work environment is unique in every aspect and offers a great opportunity for the right candidate.
If you have led or worked with high performing teams of engineers and enjoy working on complex problems, we want to hear from you. At Amazon, the successful candidate will be responsible for working on product designs and supporting our wide variety of customers. Great ideas are encouraged and supported. Ingenuity is the main mechanism which supports our focus on quality, speed, and cost.
At Amazon, teamwork is necessary for us to accomplish our goals. The successful candidate must be able to work within a team and depend on others to accomplish the required work. As a product engineer at Amazon, they will work with other internal groups as well as external groups including engineering service providers, manufacturers, vendors, inspectors, third party testing labs, and contractors.
Amazon has a global presence. Travel will be necessary but should not be more than 30%. International support will be part of the job, and some international travel may be necessary. Their contribution could consist of leading international projects and could require developing engineering information packages. An understanding of international electrical product design requirements is helpful but not necessary.
Key job responsibilities

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Visa Sponsorship as a Product Design Engineer
Align your portfolio to U.S. specialty occupation standards
Your portfolio must demonstrate that the Product Design Engineer role requires a specific bachelor's degree in engineering, industrial design, or a related field. Use O*NET to confirm the occupation's degree requirements before targeting employers.
Verify your credential equivalency before applying
Chilean engineering degrees are generally accepted, but your employer's attorney will confirm U.S. equivalency. Get a credential evaluation from a NACES-recognized evaluator early so you're not scrambling after an offer.
Target employers with active LCA filing history
Search Migrate Mate to find companies with verified H-1B1 Chile LCA filing history for engineering and product design roles, so you can focus on employers already familiar with the consular process.
Ask employers about LCA wage level at the offer stage
Your employer must certify a prevailing wage with DOL before filing the LCA. Use the OFLC Wage Search to look up Level I through Level IV wages for your SOC code and location before negotiating your offer.
Confirm your employer is E-Verify enrolled before accepting
H-1B1 Chile employers must be enrolled in E-Verify. Ask HR directly during the offer process since not every hiring manager knows the requirement, and a non-enrolled employer can't file your LCA.
Prepare for consular interview with role-specific documentation
Unlike H-1B visa, your H-1B1 Chile application is adjudicated at the Santiago consulate. Bring your certified LCA, offer letter, degree transcripts, and evidence that your Product Design Engineer duties require your specific degree field.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does a Product Design Engineer role qualify for H-1B1 Chile visa sponsorship?
Yes, Product Design Engineer is a specialty occupation because it typically requires a bachelor's degree or higher in mechanical engineering, industrial design, or a closely related field. Your employer confirms this in the Labor Condition Application filed with DOL. Roles where any unrelated degree is accepted may not qualify, so the job description must specify a degree in a directly relevant discipline.
How does H-1B1 Chile compare to H-1B for Product Design Engineer roles?
H-1B1 Chile has no lottery and no USCIS petition filing requirement, which removes the biggest barrier for Chilean Product Design Engineers targeting U.S. employers. Your employer files an LCA with DOL and you apply directly at the U.S. consulate in Santiago. The trade-off is that H-1B1 Chile doesn't allow dual intent, meaning it doesn't serve as a direct pathway to a green card the way H-1B sponsorship can.
How do I find employers who sponsor H-1B1 Chile visas for Product Design Engineers?
Migrate Mate filters job listings by verified LCA filing history, so you can identify companies that have already sponsored Chilean nationals in engineering and product design roles. This saves significant time compared to applying broadly and discovering sponsorship eligibility late in the hiring process.
Can I switch employers on an H-1B1 Chile visa if I'm already working in the U.S.?
Yes, but your new employer must file a fresh LCA with DOL and you'll generally need to return to Santiago for a new consular interview rather than changing status from within the U.S. Start the new LCA process before your current employment ends to avoid a gap in authorized work status. There's no portability provision equivalent to what H-1B holders have under AC21.
What happens if my H-1B1 Chile visa expires while I'm still employed?
H-1B1 Chile is issued in one-year increments and must be renewed annually. Your employer files a new LCA with DOL for each renewal cycle, and you apply for a new visa stamp at the consulate. Unlike H-1B, there's no USCIS extension petition, so your renewal timeline depends on consulate appointment availability in Santiago. Plan the renewal process at least 90 days before your current visa expires.
