The right candidate will play a key role in the design and development of our next generation Ethernet switching platforms for our world class data centers.

You will have previous experience testing network products. This includes reviewing designs for testability, developing manufacturing test plans, executing them, troubleshooting issues found during early prototype stages and transition to manufacturing. Compile and analyze production test data using automated data analysis techniques. You should be passionate about the role testing plays in achieving product reliability and quality. Applying skills in developing new test processes, test automation and debug is expected.

Key job responsibilities

* Develop and implement detailed validation plans tailored to specific hardware designs

* Collaborate with design and production teams to understand and test against product requirements

* Analyze and interpret data from validation tests, offering insights and recommendations

* Design and document validation processes, findings, and insights in a structured and clear manner

* Component specification study and component validation

* Oversee and plan the use of validation equipment to guarantee consistent results

* Work cross-functionally to troubleshoot and address any hardware issues identified during validation

* Second source qualification, cost down design validation and manufacturing efficiencies

* Support new product introduction and Sustaining engineering

* Develop and contribute in testing automation

A day in the life

On an everyday basis as part of our team, you have the unique opportunity to understand the growing AWS network and our internal customers' requirement on interconnect solutions. You'll work backwards to devise hardware solutions by influencing the broad industry and/or to develop software

tools with sister teams to maintain a highly available network that delights AWS customers. You design and implement processes and mechanisms that both help the team to deliver business impact to the organization in a systemic way, while also helping to raise the bar on our operational excellence.

Operating at the scale we do, there is no blueprint for how to do what we do, which encourages our engineers to identify and develop simple solutions to complex problems. We encourage durable solutions that look around corners while taking into consideration our customer needs from a cost, performance, and reliability perspective. We work closely with our internal partners that design, build

and operate the network to ensure that our solutions meet their needs and exceed their expectations.
