Senior Hardware Development Engineer, NPD Hardware

About the role

AWS’ Network Products Development team seeks experienced hardware engineers to design and develop our next generation Ethernet switching platforms for world-class datacenters. Ideal candidates have strong experience in modular chassis-based enterprise and carrier products.

Responsibilities

• Develop functional specifications, design verification plans, and functional test procedures
• Design and develop Ethernet switching fabrics, Ethernet PHY and SerDes interfaces, embedded CPU subsystems, DDR2/DDR3/DDR4 memory design, network processors, I2C, USB
• Design high-speed PCBs and CPLDs/FPGAs using VHDL or Verilog
• Interfacing with cross-functional teams, including mechanical engineers, HW engineers, SI engineers, diagnostic engineers, and manufacturing engineers, as well as with outside vendors and developers
• Define and implement modular chassis functions such as system redundancy, hot-swap, power distribution, environmental control, and system management
• Interface with mechanical engineers to specify mechanical enclosures

Requirements

• BSEE with 10+ years experience in hardware board and systems development (must have taken products from concept to mass production)
• Recent 5+ years experience with Ethernet switching fabrics, Ethernet PHY and SerDes interfaces, embedded CPU subsystems, DDR2/DDR3/DDR4 memory design, network processors, I2C, USB
• Experience with high-speed PCB design and AC/DC PI and 5+ years of experience in CPLD/FPGA design using VHDL or Verilog
• Experience troubleshooting with oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and specialized test equipment such as PCI analyzers and in-circuit-emulators
• Experience interfacing with cross-functional teams such as mechanical engineers, HW engineers, SI engineers, diagnostic engineers, and manufacturing engineers as well as with outside vendors and developers

Qualifications

• Master's degree in electrical engineering, computer engineering, or equivalent
• Experience working with interdisciplinary teams to execute product design from concept to production
• Experience with the project management of technical projects
• Experience defining and implementing modular chassis functions such as system redundancy, hot-swap, power distribution, environmental control, and system management
• CPLD/FPGA experience in the areas of advanced HW control/monitoring/logging
• Experience in specifying mechanical enclosures
• Experience in analog design, signal integrity analysis, DC-DC switcher design, EDVT, and MDVT is an asset

Skills

Strong experience in modular chassis based enterprise/carrier products is a must. Must have previous experience working with Asian ODM and JDM partners, both in development and in manufacturing.

Benefits

Comprehensive benefits including medical, dental, vision, prescription, life insurance, EAP, mental health support, flexible spending accounts, adoption and surrogacy reimbursement coverage, 401(k) matching, paid time off, and parental leave.
