118 Amazon Infrastructure Design Engineer Jobs Hiring Near You

***This is a physical infrastructure design role — not software or IT networking. You'll design the cabling, pathways, and telecom rooms that data centers and mission-critical buildings run on: fiber/copper backbone routing, rack elevations, conduit systems, and construction drawings in Revit. Think structured cabling and building infrastructure design, not network administration or coding.***

Job Description:

Meade is seeking an RCDD-certified Senior ICT Infrastructure Design Engineer (Low Voltage) to join our Engineering team. This is a specialized role focused on the design of network infrastructure and structured cabling systems for mission critical and data center projects. This position will play a key role in delivering high-quality designs for complex projects while continuing to build technical expertise in a niche, high-demand discipline.

The ideal candidate has a solid foundation in network architecture and structured cabling systems.

Job Duties:

Network Design & Architecture

• Design ICT and network infrastructure systems, including structured cabling (fiber and copper) and telecommunications pathways.
• Develop LAN/WAN topology diagrams, logical network layouts, and physical infrastructure design, cable routing, and pathway layouts.
• Produce detailed deliverables including:
  • Construction drawings
  • Cable routing and pathway layouts
  • Equipment schedules and specifications
  • Telecommunications room layouts and rack elevations
• Design passive infrastructure including fiber backbone systems, copper cabling, and cross-connect/ODF configurations.
• Design Service Entrance Facility (SEF) infrastructure, including fiber vault placement, underground conduit stub-outs, and coordination of carrier incoming fiber pathways.
• Develop outside plant (OSP) designs including underground conduit systems, pull boxes, handholes, and site conduit routing in coordination with civil and electrical disciplines.
• Apply industry standards (BICSI, TIA/EIA, ANSI) to ensure compliant and scalable designs.

Adjacent Systems Integration

• Support the design and coordination of low-voltage systems, including:
  • Audiovisual (AV) systems
  • Security (CCTV, access control)
  • Wireless infrastructure
• Ensure these systems are effectively integrated into overall network and ICT infrastructure design.

 Data Center Design

• Contribute to the design of data center infrastructure systems for enterprise, colocation, and mission-critical facilities.
• Develop data hall layouts, rack plans, and cable management strategies.
• Support design of MDA, HDA, and EDA environments, including backbone and horizontal distribution systems.
• Incorporate considerations such as hot/cold aisle containment and scalability.
• Assist in preparing construction documentation for fit-outs, upgrades, and new builds.
• Coordinate ICT systems with electrical, mechanical, and other engineering disciplines.

Documentation & Software

• Prepare all design drawings and deliverables using the Autodesk software suite, including Revit (MEP).
• Develop BIM-coordinated ICT models for design coordination and clash detection workflows.
• Produce specifications, design reports, bills of materials, and commissioning documentation.
• Maintain accurate version control, project registers, and quality records throughout the project lifecycle.

 Project Participation

• Contribute to design review meetings, site visits, and client workshops under the direction of the project engineer.
• Collaborate with engineers, designers, and project stakeholders to resolve design challenges.
• Coordinate with contractors, vendors, and subcontractors during construction and commissioning phases.
• Assist in responding to RFIs and reviewing shop drawings and contractor submittals.
• Execute assigned design tasks independently within defined scope.

Minimum Qualifications:

• 4+ years of experience in ICT/structured cabling design, or network infrastructure design.
• Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering or related field. 
• RCDD (Registered Communications Distribution Designer) certification required — this is not a software/IT networking position.
• Knowledge of network architecture and infrastructure design principles.
• Experience with or exposure to data center environments.
• Proficiency in Revit/AutoCAD, BICSI, TIA/EIA, construction drawings, rack elevations.
• Proficiency Microsoft Office products, especially excel.
• Working knowledge of structured cabling systems (fiber and copper), telecommunications spaces and pathways, and BICSI, TIA/EIA standards (including TIA-568).
• Ability to work in a team environment with Project Managers, Engineers, and Designers.
• Ability to produce clear, accurate, and coordinated design documentation.
• Strong organizational and collaboration skills.
• Communication skills both written and verbal are required.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience working on data center projects including hyperscale, colocation, or enterprise-scale facilities.
• Familiarity with TIA-942 and BICSI TDMM, Uptime Institute Tier Standards or ANSI/BICSI 002 data center design guidelines.
• Experience with BIM coordination workflows.
• Exposure to active network equipment (switching, routing), DAS or in-building wireless systems, and/or DCIM platforms.
