AWS - Information Technology/Computer Hardware Internship (2026 Intern-to-Full-Time Pathway),

Amazon Web Services (AWS) is growing rapidly, and we are looking for Data Center Technician Interns to join our expanding team. This internship is designed as a potential pathway to full-time employment. Interns who demonstrate strong performance throughout their internship and are successful upon completion may be considered for a full-time Data Center Technician position, subject to available open roles and business needs at that time.

We are targeting two candidate profiles:

1. Recent 2025 Graduates:
If you have recently graduated (or are due to graduate by early 2025) in Information Technology, Computer Hardware Repair, or a related technical field, this opportunity is for you. Upon successful completion of your 12-week internship, you may transition directly into a full-time role.

2. Final-Year Students (Graduating 2026):
If you are currently in your final year of studies in Information Technology, Computer Hardware Repair, or a related technical field, we want to hear from you. Upon successful completion of your 12-week internship, you may commence as a full-time employee by the end of 2026, aligned with your graduation.

Internship start dates are flexible from April to October 2026. Transition to a full-time role is subject to successful performance during the internship, role availability, and business needs.

Note: Amazon does not sponsor for immigration, including for H-1B, TN, and other non-immigrant visas, for this role.

About the Role:
This position involves hardware and network diagnostics followed by physical repair. All interns will be exposed to independent work and working in a team. Work prioritisation, organisational skills, effective communication, and the ability to react quickly are critical to being successful.
As an intern, you will participate in our 12-week internship programme in our Bahrain Data Center.

Duties & Responsibilities:
You will have the opportunity to provide our internal workforce with infrastructure-related support, resolving tickets related to hardware (Motherboard, RAM, CPU, GPU, etc.) and networking tickets (Link Down, Optics Replacements, Switch Replacements, etc.).
In addition to hardware and network repair, interns will learn how to install equipment, create documentation, innovate solutions, and fix complex problems within the data centre space.

Duties include:
•Hardware troubleshooting in servers which are not live with an AWS technician's supervision
• Understand the importance of meeting SLA's against assigned trouble tickets
• Follow the AWS technicians during network troubleshooting
• Replace Media (SSD/HDD) according to AWS Data Tech guidance
• Perform regular server hardware repairs (drives, motherboards, etc.) under the guidance of experienced techs
• Interact with third-party vendors and contractors who are working on site

Internship Structure:
Amazon internships are full-time (40 hours/week) for 12 consecutive weeks. This position requires the intern to report to work onsite on a daily basis. Both internship and full-time roles operate on a standard day schedule, Sunday–Thursday.
Interns who successfully complete the internship and demonstrate strong performance may be considered for a full-time Data Center Technician position, subject to role availability and business needs.
