Multiple rounds of interviews through amazon chime, first with semi technical engineers, then ways of working with managers (how would you respond to x). ~2 weeks for initial interview +1 week wait per interview
J'ai passé un entretien chez Amazon Web Services (Boston, MA)
Entretien
This internship sounds heavily focused on the physical infrastructure side of data centres — essentially the systems that keep servers powered, cooled, and operational 24/7. It aligns strongly with electrical, mechanical, and energy systems engineering.
Here’s what each part likely means:
Critical power systems
High-reliability electrical systems that ensure data centres never lose power.
Includes:
UPS systems
PDUs
Backup generators
Switchgear
Transformers
Protection coordination
Power distribution and redundancy (N+1, 2N architectures)
the interview process is fluid and is designed for you to succeed. you will be asked a bunch of tell me about a time... questions that you will answer with the STAR method. Some interviews will have a technical part as well.
I prepped for weeks — LeetCode hard problems, system design diagrams, behavioral stories mapped to every Leadership Principle. The loop was five rounds, back-to-back. They asked me to design a URL shortener, then 'Tell me about a time you failed.' I gave it everything. Now I wait. The bar raiser decides.
