Our team designs, builds and operates Amazon's fleet of Accelerated Servers using Internal Amazon design silicon or specialized purpose accelerators (EC2.TRN, INF, G, F + more instance types). We solve systemic hardware issues and we build hardware and software systems to detect and mitigate future recurrences so that our our customers can experience the highest quality of service possible! You will architect, design, and own a new segment of accelerated servers for the AWS fleet. This includes defining board-level architecture, component selection, and managing manufacturing partnerships through development and production. You will make critical design decisions on thermal, power, signal integrity, and mechanical integration while leading cross-functional teams from concept through data center deployment. You will define requirements and conduct technical reviews to ensure designs meet AWS standards. Your designs will power AWS infrastructure supporting internal Amazon design silicon and specialized purpose accelerators across EC2 instance types. You will design for reliability and manufacturability, incorporating lessons learned from fleet operations into your architecture decisions. Your designs will include built-in diagnostics and telemetry to enable efficient validation and operations. Ideal candidates will have a background in server development, system design, root cause, scoping complex issues, qualification, problem solving and developing corrective actions. Key job responsibilities Design and Architecture: Own server architecture, board design, component selection, thermal and power design, and ODM technical reviews. Make trade-off decisions balancing performance, cost, and manufacturability. Lead design reviews with manufacturing partners and ensure designs scale to production volumes. Fleet Operations: Monitor production quality, analyze field data to inform future designs, and drive continuous improvement. Collaborate with operations teams to ensure your designs meet reliability targets in production environments. A day in the life You will spend your time making design decisions-defining technical requirements, conducting design reviews with manufacturing partners, selecting components, and architecting thermal and power solutions.
