Software Development Engineer, AWS Hardware Engineering

Job Description

Do you enjoy solving complex problems and driving influential changes? Are you curious about the systems used to run the largest cloud computing infrastructures in the world? Do you thrive in a fast paced and ever-changing environment? If you answered YES to these questions, then our team is looking for you! The AWS Hardware Engineering team drives system innovation in the servers used by all of Amazon Web Services, including EC2, S3, EBS and CloudFront. Our engineers solve the hardest problems that fuse software, hardware, and the cloud. We take big bets on new concepts, enabling AWS services to continue to revolutionize the industry. Optimizing quality, performance, reliability and cost is a massive challenge, and we love it!

AWS Infrastructure Services owns the design, planning, delivery, and operation of all AWS global infrastructure. In other words, we’re the people who keep the cloud running. We support all AWS data centers and all of the servers, storage, networking, power, and cooling equipment that 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 software, hardware, and network engineers, supply chain specialists, security experts, operations 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.

What you will do: As a Software Development Engineer on the AWS Core Components Manufacturing team, you will design, develop, deploy, and maintain the test automation frameworks and test fixture control software that drive manufacturing test execution for current and next-generation AWS server components across our global ODM/CM sites.

You will own the software stack that orchestrates board functional test (BFT), in-circuit test (ICT), and automated test sequencing for unique board variants, including motherboards, PCIe switch/retimer boards, power boards, and system boards, as well as core components, including CPUs and Memory. You will also develop fixture control interfaces for mechanical test stations that validate liquid cooling components, cable assemblies, and thermal hardware at component and rack integration levels. Your test software ensures manufacturing lines can execute tests reliably and repeatably at scale, leading to improved hardware manufacturing yields for AWS servers.

Why it matters: Public cloud IT services represent the majority of growth in the overall IT services market and will continue to do so for years to come. The scale of AWS creates a unique opportunity for differentiated hardware that will directly benefit customers.

Why you will love it: You will build next-generation software and hardware that powers the cloud. You will deliver improvements for our customers and have a direct impact on our bottom line. You will be part of a growing, fast paced, and fun team. You will have ownership for the implementation of your work.
