By working together on behalf of our customers, we are building the future one innovative product, service, and idea at a time. Are you ready to embrace the challenge? Come build the future with us.

Key job responsibilities

• Develop custom RTL and integrate with third party libraries to build end to end 100G+ solutions.
• Collaborate with design and system engineers to perform tradeoffs and architect new solutions for customers.
• Own the interface between software and hardware by developing drivers, and providing software examples.
• Participate in design meetings to plan development and review peer designs.
• Help identify new opportunities and new technologies to improve the customer experience and add features.

A day in the life

You will work on a cross-functional team of hardware and software developers, writing programmable logic and embedded software to interact with custom hardware. You will debug RTL in simulation, synthesize and implement ensuring it meets timing and performance requirements. You help deploy RTL onto hardware targets and help debug issues that come along in RTL, hardware, or software. You will provide subject matter expertise in architectural discussions, and strategic planning meetings. We develop AWS owned hardware solutions in order to scale globally, minimize cost, and maximize value for our customers. We are a growing team of hardware, software and FPGA engineers with a dedicated product development lab in Arlington, VA.
