Utility Computing (UC)
AWS Utility Computing (UC) provides product innovations - from foundational services such as Amazon's Simple Storage Service (S3) and Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2), to consistently released new product innovations that continue to set AWS's services and features apart in the industry. As a member of the UC organization, you'll support the development and management of Compute, Database, Storage, Internet of Things (IoT), Platform, and Productivity Apps services in AWS, including support for customers who require specialized security solutions for their cloud services.
You'll join a diverse team of software, hardware, and network engineers, supply chain specialists, security experts, operations 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.
Server Hardware Engineer (aka Lead Engineer (LE)). Amazon Web Services (AWS) Hardware Engineering team creates compute, storage, accelerator, and enterprise servers for Amazon's innovative web services. We are seeking experienced hardware design engineers to design and build next-generation servers and AWS specific hardware components. Our designs are industry-leading in performance, frugality and operational excellence, and are critical to the success of the AWS business and the more than one million customers who use AWS today. Our Hardware Engineers solve challenging technology problems, and build architecturally sound, high-quality servers and components to enable AWS to realize critical business strategies. Our success depends on our highly respected server infrastructure; we're handling massive scale and rapid integration of emergent technologies.
What you will do: As a member of the Edge team, you'll be responsible for integration of hardware/software components to build our servers, working with service teams to define products, and supporting operations in all the locations we have servers. You will interact with engineers across the company and work with an interdisciplinary team to execute product designs from concept to production including design, development, validation, and the deployment of servers at scale.
You will solve design challenges across many disciplines including server/board design, thermal-mechanical design, server firmware/software, integration into our software service control plane, manufacturing, and operations. You will deliver functional block diagram, schematics, specifications, analysis, test plans, and monitoring plans used to build our servers and components. You will work closely with internal teams, suppliers, and external partners to ensure our designs are of the highest quality. You will lead cross-organizational teams to improve key factors such as total cost of ownership, quality, reliability, performance, and serviceability. You will be an end-to-end owner from concept, design, launch, and operation in our fleet. You will be hands on and comfortable with the entire technology stack from the service software all the way down to the silicon. You will use high judgement to solve problems individually or guide others when help is needed.
This is a fast-paced, challenging position, and you'll work with thought leaders in multiple technology areas. You'll have high standards for yourself and everyone you work with, and you'll be constantly looking for ways to improve your products performance, quality and cost. We're changing an industry, and we want team members who are ready for this challenge and want to reach beyond what is possible today.
Why it matters: Public cloud IT services represent the majority of growth in the overall IT services market and will continue to do so for several years to come. The scale of AWS, combined with an understanding of how our hardware is used, creates a unique opportunity for hardware customizations that will directly benefit AWS customers.
Why you will love it: You will work directly with engineers across the company to build next-generation hardware. You will have a direct impact on our bottom line and the ability to deliver improvements for our customers. You will be part of a growing, fast paced, and fun team.
