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.
As an Amazon Critical Infrastructure Engineer, you will provide full life-cycle support to AWS Data Centers from design inception through site improvement and maintenance. You will be the ‘go to’ engineering resource for your region when technical advice is needed, and will use your subject matter expertise and engage with diverse teams to:
- 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, increase efficiency and sustainability.
- Interface with internal data center operations team, data center design engineering team, server hardware team, environmental health and safety team to promote standards that maintain consistency and reliability in services delivered.
- Develop innovative solutions for AWS’s data centers.
- Work on concurrent projects, sometimes in multiple geographical regions.
- Initiate and lead engineering audits including on-site visits within Amazon’s data centers. Produce reports outlining risks with recommended mitigations and remediations.
- Act as resident engineer during new construction projects. Support construction, commissioning, and turnover.

As an ideal candidate you:
- Possess Strong Engineering Judgement and are able to provide recommendations despite uncertainty/ambiguity.
- Are detail and data oriented.
- Have experience solving problems with engineered solutions.
- Have experience managing engineering projects and consultants.
- Build trust and relationships with different stakeholders (e.g., Operations, Controls, Construction, Design, Commissioning, Product Managers, Technical Program Managers).
- Are adaptable and inclined to get into the field to see things up close.
- Excited about a mix of office and field work.
A day in the life
Each day you will interact with different teams responsible for all aspects of the data centers.

Search Distribution & Wholesale Jobs in OregonDistribution & Wholesale Jobs in Oregon: Frequently Asked Questions
Which distribution and wholesale companies sponsor F-1 STEM OPT visas in Oregon?
Oregon-based distribution and wholesale employers with a track record of STEM OPT sponsorship include NIKE's global supply chain operations in Beaverton, Daimler Trucks North America in Portland, Sysco's Pacific Northwest distribution center, and regional wholesale technology distributors. Sponsorship patterns vary by company size and role type, so reviewing DOL Labor Condition Application disclosure data gives the most accurate picture of which employers have filed for STEM-eligible positions.
Which cities in Oregon have the most distribution and wholesale F-1 STEM OPT sponsorship jobs?
Portland and its metro area, including Beaverton and Hillsboro, account for the largest share of distribution and wholesale STEM OPT sponsorship activity in Oregon, driven by major logistics hubs and the Columbia River trade corridor. Salem and Eugene also have wholesale distribution employers, particularly in agricultural supply chains and food distribution, where data and operations roles increasingly require STEM-designated degrees.
What types of distribution and wholesale roles typically qualify for F-1 STEM OPT sponsorship?
Roles qualifying for F-1 STEM OPT sponsorship in distribution and wholesale generally involve quantitative or technical work tied to a STEM degree. Common qualifying positions include supply chain analyst, demand forecasting analyst, logistics data analyst, warehouse operations engineer, and procurement systems analyst. The key requirement is that the position must be directly related to the student's STEM-designated field of study, as determined by the employer and confirmed with the student's DSO.
How do I find distribution and wholesale F-1 STEM OPT sponsorship jobs in Oregon?
Migrate Mate lets you filter specifically for distribution and wholesale employers in Oregon that have sponsored F-1 STEM OPT candidates, drawing on DOL Labor Condition Application filing history. This is more targeted than a general job search because it surfaces companies with verified sponsorship activity in the right industry and state. From there, you can identify which roles align with your STEM-designated degree program before applying.
Are there any Oregon-specific or industry-specific considerations for F-1 STEM OPT sponsorship in distribution and wholesale?
Oregon's distribution sector is shaped by its position as a Pacific Rim trade gateway, meaning many wholesale employers here handle international procurement and cross-border logistics, which can increase demand for analytically skilled STEM graduates. E-Verify enrollment is mandatory for STEM OPT employers nationally, and Oregon employers must comply regardless of company size. Students should also confirm that their specific degree program carries a STEM designation on USCIS's approved program list before beginning the STEM OPT extension process.
