Job description

Description

AWS EC2 owns the design, planning, delivery, and operation of all AWS server instances. In other words, we’re the people who keep the cloud running. We support all AWS compute, storage, accelerator servers and 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 hardware engineers, software engineers, system engineers, technical program 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.

Key job responsibilities

AWS Hardware Engineering is looking for a customer-obsessed, team-driven technology leader to take our engineering of server hardware and software to the next level. As a System Development Engineer on the PCIe and Signal Integrity team within the Core Components Organization, you will own the system design of next-generation server components and systems. You will work on the architecture and development of high-speed, complex PCB designs for server components, including PCIe. You will be responsible for PCIe topology for the EC2 servers, including retimer and switch firmware and telemetry. You will work with an interdisciplinary team of engineers to design, develop, validate, launch, monitor and troubleshoot high throughput interfaces at scale. You will design and build hardware and software environments to track fleet performance, validate your designs and to support debugging. At AWS we are changing the industry and want individuals who are ready for a challenge to reach beyond what is possible today.
