GPU Accelerator Hardware Engineer - Manufacturing at Scale

Amazon Web Services (AWS); Cupertino (CA); On-site; USD 157,000 - 213,000; Full time

Job summary

Amazon Development Center U.S., Inc. in Cupertino seeks a Manufacturing Hardware Engineer to own NPI manufacturing for GPU accelerator platforms and drive production readiness from EVT to pilot production.

You will debug complex issues across hardware, firmware, and mechanical domains and collaborate with design, supply chain, and ODM/CM teams. The role requires deep technical curiosity, hands-on problem solving, and travel up to 25% for critical builds, with a focus on quality and process

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree or above in Electrical or Mechanical Engineering
• 3+ years of end to end product delivery experience
• 5+ years of manufacturing or manufacturing engineering experience in server, accelerator, or high-tech hardware platforms
• Hands-on hardware debug experience — ability to root cause system-level failures across electrical, firmware, and mechanical domains
• Experience with SMT assembly processes and PCB fabrication/assembly for HDI boards
• Experience driving quality and schedule execution at multinational ODMs/CMs
• Willingness to travel domestically and internationally (~25%), including extended on-site support during critical builds

Responsibilities

• Own end-to-end NPI manufacturing execution for GPU accelerator platforms across EVT/DVT/PVT builds and pilot production
• Perform NUDD risk assessments and carry-over analysis to identify and mitigate manufacturing risks before design freeze
• Develop First Build Readiness Plans encompassing BOM availability, assembly strategy, test code readiness, and build instructions
• Define Manufacturing Test Strategy including test flows, coverage, fixture requirements (ICT, BFT, system-level), and buy-off criteria
• Lead DFx reviews (DFM/DFA/DFT) leveraging mechanical CAD models, gerber files, and mock-up samples; drive design improvements with hardware engineering teams
• Create manufacturing capacity plans with line balance and cycle time analysis to maximize throughput
• Lead DFMEA/PFMEA reviews; develop process flow diagrams and quality control plans
• Develop Technical Manufacturing Information (TMI) packages for CM enablement
