Our team designs, builds and operates Amazon's fleet of Accelerated Servers using Internal Amazon design silicon or specialized purpose accelerators (EC2.TRN, INF, G, F + more instance types). We solve systemic hardware issues and we build hardware and software systems to detect and mitigate future recurrences so that our customers can experience the highest quality of service possible

You will be responsible for owning the design and operations of a brand new segment of servers for the AWS fleet. You will be responsible for development of individual boards, managing third party ODM's, integrating components from within and outside of Amazon and integrating firmware/software stacks on top of the hardware to produce high quality designs for our customers.

As the end-to-end owner of a complex server fleet, our team works closely with partners to root cause failures and drive changes back into our current & future designs. Nothing is complete without closed loop corrective actions which drive changes back into our development processes and behavior specifications.

As a member of the AWS Hardware Engineering organization, you will apply your technical experience and work with other subject matter experts in core component development, compute server development, networking development, custom hypervisor/virtualization development and other teams.

To deliver your products you will work with an interdisciplinary team of component, firmware, test, qualification, and integration engineers, and lead our design and manufacturing partners to bring these servers to the data center. After launch you will oversee the fleet of servers you develop, monitoring their quality and how they are meeting the customer requirements.

A day in the life

Your day-to-day responsibilities will include interfacing with our internal and external customers to understand project requirements and facilitate system development on top of your server design. You will be responsible for learning operational challenges to our existing fleet with the goal of improving the current customer experience as well as developing improved systems for future designs. You will work directly with vendors and ODM/JDM design teams to develop and manufacture your product at scale.
