SoC Systems Software Engineer - HW/SW Interface

Amazon Web Services (AWS); Cupertino (CA); On-site; USD 165,200 - 223,600; Full time

Job summary

Annapurna Labs (AWS) seeks a Systems Software Engineer to work at the hardware-software boundary for pre-silicon and post-silicon problems. You will develop SoC models, debug interactions across the stack, and collaborate with architects and ML teams to validate hardware/software interfaces.

You will thrive if you read hardware specs, debug across hardware/software interfaces, and have experience with firmware, drivers, or runtime software for SoCs, GPUs, CPUs, or FPGAs.

Qualifications

• Knowledge of hardware architectures.
• 2+ 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)

Responsibilities

• Develop and own components of SoC models, both single-chip and datacenter-scale.
• Debug complex hardware/software interactions across the full software stack, from register-level bring-up on functional models 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
