Job summary

Annapurna Labs (AWS’s silicon unit) seeks a Systems Software Engineer at the hardware–software boundary to work on pre-silicon and post-silicon challenges. You will develop and own components of our SoC models, from single chips to datacenter-scale systems, and debug complex interactions across the full software stack on functional models, simulators, and live silicon.

You will collaborate with chip architects, RTL designers, modelers, compiler engineers, and ML teams to co-design interfaces,

Qualifications

• 6+ years of full software development life cycle, including coding standards, code reviews, source control management, build processes, testing, and operations experience
• Experience as a mentor, tech lead or leading an engineering team
• 7+ years of professional experience developing firmware, drivers, runtime software, or low-level systems software for custom hardware (SoCs, ASICs, GPUs, CPUs, FPGAs)
• Experience programming in C++, Python, and/or Rust (preference for at least 2)
• Knowledge of SoC, CPU, GPU, and/or ASIC architecture and micro-architecture

Responsibilities

• Develop and own components of our SoC models, both single-chip and at the datacenter-scale level
• Debug complex hardware/software interactions across the full software stack — from register-level bring-up on functional models and emulators, to performance analysis on live silicon
• Collaborate with chip architects, RTL designers, modelers, compiler engineers, and ML framework teams to co-design and validate the hardware/software interface
• Contribute to the design of hardware features by providing a software perspective early in the chip development cycle
• Build tooling, test infrastructure, and automation that accelerates development for yourself and your teammates
