Hardware Development Eng, PCIe, AWS PCIe and Signal Integrity Team

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 hardware engineer on the PCIe and Signal Integrity team within the Core Components Organization, you will own the hardware 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. You will be responsible for PCIe topology for the EC2 servers, including retimer and switch hardware. Your expertise in high speed PCB design will be crucial as you 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 test hardware and environments to 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.

About the team
Why AWS
Amazon Web Services (AWS) is the world’s most comprehensive and broadly adopted cloud platform. We pioneered cloud computing and never stopped innovating — that’s why customers from the most successful startups to Global 500 companies trust our robust suite of products and services to power their businesses.
