Sr. Hardware Development Engineer, PCIe Manufacturing, PCIe & Signal Integrity Team

About the role

AWS Hardware Engineering is seeking a Senior Manufacturing Engineer to lead the development, deployment, qualification, and continuous improvement of PCIe components with vendors and at manufacturing sites for current and next-generation servers.

Responsibilities

• Develop, deploy, qualify, and continuously improve PCIe components with vendors and at manufacturing sites.
• Perform firmware readiness reviews, risk assessments, and test and fixture design through NPI test system setup, qualification builds, firmware/software provisioning, validation, Bill of Material and Engineering Change Order review, and test readiness sign-off for volume manufacturing.
• Debug and root-cause failure analysis, create runbooks, train technicians and operators, and support recurring certification programs to ensure consistent quality across all sites.
• Analyze failure data to identify trends and recommend test systems, test processes, and design improvements that strengthen the test-to-design feedback loop.
• Lead hardware, firmware, and system yields and throughput improvement campaigns with manufacturing partners, vendors, and design teams, establishing metrics and tracking progress toward targets.
• Provide DFT recommendations and feedback on test coverage, fault isolation capability, and failure trends to continuously improve test effectiveness at scale.

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field.
• 6+ years' experience in high-volume manufacturing operations, working directly with international Original Design Manufacturers, Contract Manufacturers, and component vendors across global manufacturing networks.
• 6+ years of manufacturing engineering work with server platforms, silicon, PCBA, or complex electromechanical hardware such (eg. PCIe devices and systems).
• 3+ years of end-to-end NPI participation from concept/design through mass production ramp.
• Demonstrated expertise in failure analysis, root-cause investigation, corrective/preventive action (CAPA), and statistical process control (SPC, Cpk, yield, DPMO) including development of test metrics dashboards to drive improvement decisions.
• Hands-on proficiency with lab equipment and strong analytical problem-solving and cross-functional communication skills.

Qualifications

• Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field.
• 10+ years of manufacturing test experience specifically for server, networking, or data center PCBA platforms.
• 6+ years deploying, qualifying, and maintaining complex test systems in high-volume manufacturing environments, including functional tests.
• 6+ years of production ramp, yield management, and throughput optimization, including capacity planning across multiple testers and production locations; proficiency with statistical methods (SPC, Cpk, DPMO) and Lean/Six Sigma methodologies to drive improvement at scale.
• Experience qualifying and debugging high-speed interconnects, including PCIe.
• Demonstrated track record driving manufacturing documentation, assembly drawings, BOM ingestion into PLM systems, and validating producibility through DFM/DFA reviews.
