AWS Utility Computing (UC) provides product innovations – from foundational services such as our companys Simple Storage Service (S3) and our company Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2), to consistently released new product innovations that continue to set AWSs services and features apart in the industry. As a member of the UC organization, youll support the development and management of Compute, Database, Storage, Internet of Things (Iot), Platform, and Productivity Apps services in AWS, including support for customers who require specialized security solutions for customers who require specialized security solutions for their cloud services.
Annapurna Labs (our organization within AWS UC) designs silicon and software that accelerates innovation. Customers choose us to create cloud solutions that solve challenges that were unimaginable a short time ago-even yesterday. Our custom chips, accelerators, and software stacks enable us to take on technical challenges that have never been seen before, and deliver results that help our customers change the world.
Key job responsibilities
We are seeking a Hardware Design Engineer with role in the definition, design and validation of AWS next generation ML Chips, Cards and server integration. As a senior member of our hardware team, you will have the outstanding and meaningful opportunity to participate in the design and execution of all System (controllers, connectivity), High speed (PCIe, Ethernet), board design, layout, testability and manufacturing, production testing and fleet deployment, with the goal of creating and customized platforms that fit within AWS datacenters world leading technology.
As a member of the Machine Learning Acceleration team youll be responsible for the design and optimization of hardware in our data centers. Youll provide leadership in the application of new technologies to large scale server deployments in a continuous effort to deliver a world-class customer experience. This is a fast-paced, intellectually challenging position, and youll work with thought leaders in multiple technology areas. Youll have high standards for yourself and everyone you work with, and youll be constantly looking for ways to improve your products performance, quality and cost. Were changing an industry, and we want individuals who are ready for this challenge and want to reach beyond what is possible today.
