Description

AWS Infrastructure Services owns the design, planning, delivery, and operation of the data centers that power AWS.

In this role, you'll manage the flow of materials across our KUL sites, including receiving, storing, tracking, and shipping servers, racks, cables, optics, and spare parts. You'll keep inventory records accurate, run cycle counts, and work with vendors, carriers, and internal teams to make sure parts arrive on time for rack deployments and repairs. You'll also help with inbound and outbound shipments, customs documentation, and the disposition of decommissioned equipment.
