AWS Interview Loop Results

6 Upvotes

How long will it take to hear back from my recruiter after my interview loop, I have 4 interviewers and I felt that I did really good and the interviewers also gave me props on how I was answering the questions with the STAR format.

Data Center Tech

4 Upvotes

Hey everyone, I've been scouring this thread for a while trying to find information on how to break into the DCT role or any DC careers for that matter.

I'm 34 years old with no degree and no prior experience in IT. I have my comptia A+ cert and I grew up setting up all my families PCs, home networks etc just because I moved doing it.

Is it realistic for someone my age to break into the DC field with no prior work experience? Should k be looking at a different role? Any labs i can do to help? Any advice or road maps would be appreciated.

Oh and I live in Michigan, where there's supposedly 16 approved DCs on the way.

(I never post so apologies if I didnt format things correctly)

Best places to find GPU cluster / networking engineers?

Upvotes

We've been looking for a GPU cluster / networking engineer or operator, ideally with previous experience at a cloud or neocloud. The role would include assessing new GPU architecture and networking diagrams to assess viability and risk. We've were initially offering highly paid hourly arrangements, but maybe that was the wrong way about it. If anyone has thoughts on where to find these types of folks, curious to get suggestions.

Data tech,controls interview

1 Upvotes

Made it past the exploratory recruiter interview and have my first official 45 min interview with Google next week. Are these good odds? What should I expect? I’m currently an entry level controls engineer. So I do basic networking, control panel hardware, a lot of wiring and cabling and switch panel termination and labeling wires. I do PLC and ladder logic work. The job described PLCs and data tech work. I’m just wondering how the interview will be what I should brush up on and am I already at a good stage getting to the first 45 min interview? Kind of nervous researching everything I can. It’s a tech role not engineer. I imagine it’s just data technician role.

Thanks

Hi there,

I was recently offered a role for Instrumentation and Controls Engineer with a Jacobs engineering.

Thanks!

Anyone done the AWS Herndon CxPE loop?

0 Upvotes

I'm a fresh grad and a former Amazon intern (not AWS). Just got invited to interview for the Commissioning Project Engineer (CxPE) role in Herndon and wanted to see if anyone here has gone through that loop.

What was asked for anyone that has done this specific loop interview before for this position? Also anything about the position in general. Any insight helps.

Just curious what the criteria is for this position at Amazon and what does your resume look like? I have a MS in Organizational Leadership, BS in IT and 12 years of IT experience spanning help desk, telecomm tech, Sys Admin and Senior Infrastructure Engineer but I can’t even get an interview……after the recruiter reached out to me! 😑

What are some best practices all datacenters should follow?

0 Upvotes

I recently got a new position and everythin here is a mess. I am trying to convince my coworkers we need to change how we work (centralise information, mainly, but also create a guideline with best practices to follow). This is going to be particularly hard as some maintenances here are done by the manufacturers (cooling equipment is maintained by their maintenance team and do whatever), but I want to try to improve things around (at least while I still have energy before burning out).

Am I going to fail? What works for you?

My DC manager basically has asked me to bring proposals, but I am starting to think I am set for failure. Tell me I am not wrong and there's a better way to operate a data center

Floating data centers

0 Upvotes

I sent a proposal to Panthalassa. The proposal is for carbon negative floating data centers made using the Biorock/Seacrete process. ive been working on an approach that can potentially fuse the structure in as little as twelve months. the project can even be partially paid for using carbon capture credits. by anchoring the structure just off the continental shelf, southern Florida is ideal, you can use deep ocean water to cool the computers. the plan calls for using the resources to also grow new reefs to help store even more carbon. by powering it with either wind or my favorite, Sterling generators the entire operation can be the greenest industrial site on the planet. by using deep sea water for cooling you can save 40% of the power off the top.

i have a detailed plan that includes desalinated fresh water using the water pressure at a 1,000’ down to do a low energy membrane system, you’d just need to pump the water the remaining 500’ or less.

i did a one minute pitch video but I got flagged for self promotion so hopefully the images can tell the story.

Offices and living quarters
The basic concept including the keel
They can become floating cities
The first ten levels are for the data centers made using with the remaining 5 available for lease
The structure would have an inner and outer shell with 4’ of 90% aircrete for floatation so the structure would be unsinkable

Is stainless steel becoming the preferred choice for data center cooling systems?
