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.

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.).

Duties Include

• 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

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.
