Job summary

Annapurna Labs (AWS) is seeking a Systems Software Engineer to work at the hardware/software boundary for pre-silicon and post-silicon challenges. You will develop SoC models, debug complex interactions, and collaborate with architects, RTL designers, modelers, and ML teams to validate interfaces and accelerate software stacks.

You will also contribute to hardware feature design from a software perspective and build tooling and automation that speeds development for a small, high-impact team.

Qualifications

• 6+ years of full software development life cycle, including coding standards, code reviews, source control management, build processes, testing, and operations experience
• 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
