Description Application deadline: Jun 27, 2026 Amazon Web Services (AWS) Hardware Engineering Services (HWEngS) owns the new product development (NPI) and operation of all AWS global infrastructure. In other words, we're the people who keep the cloud running. We support all AWS data centers and all of the servers, storage, networking, power, and cooling equipment that 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 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. Senior Cloud Hardware Development Engineer (CHDE): Amazon Web Services (AWS) Hardware Engineering Services (HWEngS) team creates compute, storage, accelerator, and enterprise servers for Amazon's innovative web services. We are seeking experienced CHDEs to architect, design, develop, 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 CHDE's 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 Specialized Platforms and Servers team, you'll be responsible for integration of hardware/software components to build our servers, working with service teams to define products, and supporting Data Center 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 data center 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. You will have ownership for the implementation of your work. Key job responsibilities As a Senior CHDE you will be responsible for bringing new technology to our server & products as well as scaling how we operate our massive existing & rapidly growing fleet. You will collaborate with internal development teams and external suppliers to deliver new servers with industry leading performance and quality. You will establish strategic vision and drive execution in defining and delivering new products and services. You will lead the integration and delivery of servers, support the development of automated monitoring, and failure analysis services to operate, debug, and scale our servers. You will work closely with other AWS software teams to tailor and operate servers solutions for the AWS environment. You will support launching our servers into production and operating our fleet of servers. A day in the life Your day to day responsibilities will include interfacing with our internal customers to understand project requirements and facilitate system development on top of your server design. You will be responsible for solving operational challenges to our existing fleet with the goal of improving the current customer experience as well as developing improved systems for future designs.

About the Company

A

Amazon

At Amazon, we don’t wait for the next big idea to present itself. We envision the shape of impossible things and then we boldly make them reality. So far, this mindset has helped us achieve some incredible things. Let’s build new systems, challenge the status quo, and design the world we want to live in. We believe the work you do here will be the best work of your life.

Wherever you are in your career exploration, Amazon likely has an opportunity for you. Our research scientists and engineers shape the future of natural language understanding with Alexa. Fulfillment center associates around the globe send customer orders from our warehouses to doorsteps. Product managers set feature requirements, strategy, and marketing messages for brand new customer experiences. And as we grow, we’ll add jobs that haven’t been invented yet.

It’s Always Day 1
At Amazon, it’s always “Day 1.” Now, what does this mean and why does it matter? It means that our approach remains the same as it was on Amazon’s very first day – to make smart, fast decisions, stay nimble, invent, and stay focused on delighting our customers. In our 2016 shareholder letter, Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos shared his thoughts on how to keep up a Day 1 company mindset. “Staying in Day 1 requires you to experiment patiently, accept failures, plant seeds, protect saplings, and double down when you see customer delight,” he wrote. “A customer-obsessed culture best creates the conditions where all of that can happen.” You can read the full letter here

Our Leadership Principles
Our Leadership Principles help us keep a Day 1 mentality. They aren’t just a pretty inspirational wall hanging. Amazonians use them, every day, whether they’re discussing ideas for new projects, deciding on the best solution for a customer’s problem, or interviewing candidates.
