Sr. Hardware Development Engineer, AWS Board Core Design and Services Team

About the role

AWS EC2 owns the design, planning, delivery, and operation of all AWS server instances. In other words, we’re the people who keep the cloud running. We support all AWS compute, storage, accelerator servers and ensure our customers have continual access to the innovation they rely on. We work on the most challenging problems, with thousands of variables impacting the supply chain — and we’re looking for talented people who want to help. You’ll join a diverse team of hardware engineers, software engineers, system engineers, technical program managers, and other vital roles. You’ll collaborate with people across AWS to help us deliver the highest standards for safety and security while providing seemingly infinite capacity at the lowest possible cost for our customers. And you’ll experience an inclusive culture that welcomes bold ideas and empowers you to own them to completion.

Responsibilities

• Develop the building blocks for next-generation servers as a Senior Hardware Development Engineer on the AWS Board Core Design team within the Core Components Organization.
• Own hardware design, development, and maintenance of hardware component circuit boards that build up AWS servers.
• Work on next-generation technology across multiple domains, including high-speed interconnects, multi-core performant processors, and high-capacity multi-channel memory.
• Directly contribute to the success of EC2 servers by owning the component board from architecture, development, validation, and operations.

About the team

Amazon Web Services (AWS) is the world’s most comprehensive and broadly adopted cloud platform. We pioneered cloud computing and never stopped innovating — that’s why customers from the most successful startups to Global 500 companies trust our robust suite of products and services to power their businesses.

Inclusive Team Culture

At AWS, it’s in our nature to learn and be curious. Our employee-led affinity groups foster a culture of inclusion that empower us to be proud of our differences. Ongoing events and learning experiences, including our Conversations on Race and Ethnicity (CORE) and AmazeCon (gender diversity) conferences, inspire us to never stop embracing our uniqueness.

Work/Life Balance

We value work-life harmony. Achieving success at work should never come at the expense of sacrifices at home, which is why we strive for flexibility as part of our working culture. When we feel supported in the workplace and at home, there’s nothing we can’t achieve in the cloud.

Mentorship and Career Growth

We’re continuously raising our performance bar as we strive to become Earth’s Best Employer. That’s why you’ll find endless knowledge-sharing, mentorship and other career-advancing resources here to help you develop into a better-rounded professional.
