Key job responsibilities
As a Cloud Hardware Development Engineer on the AWS Generative AI & ML Servers team, you will partner with EC2 to define server architectures based on workload demand and customer requirements. You will translate these architectures into detailed supporting designs and component specifications that enable high-performance AI training and inference at scale.
You will define and drive validation strategies from PCBA bring-up through server and rack integration, ensuring designs meet performance, thermal, mechanical, power, and signal integrity requirements. Working with interdisciplinary teams of component, firmware, test, qualification, and integration engineers, you will lead design and manufacturing partners through development and production.
You will be responsible for triaging hardware issues at both ODM facilities and datacenters, conducting root cause analysis, and implementing corrective actions. After launch, you will oversee the fleet of servers you develop, monitoring quality metrics and ensuring they meet customer requirements while identifying opportunities for continuous improvement.
A day in the life
Your day to day responsibilities will include interfacing with internal customers to understand project requirements and facilitate system development. You will work directly with EC2 teams to align on architecture decisions and translate workload requirements into technical specifications. You will be responsible for learning operational challenges in the existing fleet with the goal of improving customer experience and developing improved systems for future designs. You will work directly with vendors and ODM/JDM design teams to develop and manufacture your product at scale, driving design reviews, resolving technical issues, and ensuring quality throughout the development lifecycle.
