Principal Solutions Architect - High-Tech, Electronics & Semiconductor, Hi-Tech Electronics and Semiconductor

We are seeking a Principal Solutions Architect to serve as the senior technical leader for a portfolio of AWS"s largest and most strategic semiconductor customers. In this role, you will operate at the intersection of Electronic Design Automation (EDA) and Generative AI, partnering with C-suite and engineering leadership at the world"s leading chip designers, foundries, and semiconductor IP companies to shape and accelerate their cloud transformation.

This is a builder-facing, customer-obsessed role. You will not just advise - you will architect the reference patterns, influence the AWS product roadmap, and mentor a community of Solutions Architects across the segment. Your success will be measured first and foremost by customer outcomes: the business problems you help solve, the workloads you help move to and optimize on AWS, and the measurable impact your customers realize.

Key job responsibilities

### Customer Impact & Outcomes

• Own the senior technical relationship for several of the largest semiconductor accounts, translating each customer"s business objectives (faster tape-outs, reduced design cycle time, cost-per-wafer efficiency, time-to-market) into AWS architectures and adoption plans.
• Lead high-stakes technical engagements from discovery through production, keeping the customer"s business outcome as the primary framing lens for every recommendation.
• Serve as the trusted advisor to VP/CTO-level stakeholders, earning the right to influence multi-year technology strategy.

### EDA Domain Leadership

• Architect and optimize large-scale EDA workloads on AWS - front-end (logic/RTL simulation, synthesis, verification) and back-end (place-and-route, physical verification, timing/signoff) flows at scale.
• Guide customers on high-throughput HPC design, elastic compute (Spot/On-Demand fleets), high-performance shared storage (FSx for Lustre, NFS appliances), scheduler integration (LSF, Slurm), and license optimization for EDA tools (Synopsys, Cadence, Siemens EDA).
• Advise on Graviton adoption for EDA tooling, cost/performance benchmarking, and hybrid burst-to-cloud patterns.

### Generative AI Leadership

• Help semiconductor customers apply Generative AI to their business - from design assistants, RTL/verification copilots, and knowledge-mining across design data, to GenAI-accelerated documentation, test generation, and yield/manufacturing analytics.
• Architect production GenAI solutions on Amazon Bedrock, agentic patterns (AgentCore), model customization, RAG over proprietary design data, and responsible-AI guardrails.
• Establish reference architectures that bridge EDA and GenAI (e.g., LLM-assisted design workflows) and evangelize them across the segment.

### Technical Influence & Scale

• Operate with organization-wide (org+) influence - your architectures, mechanisms, and thought leadership should scale beyond your accounts to the broader HTES segment and AWS field.
• Create reusable assets: reference architectures, whitepapers, workshops, and internal enablement that raise the technical bar for the entire SA team.
• Represent the voice of the semiconductor customer to AWS service teams; influence the product roadmap for EDA and GenAI capabilities.
• Mentor and develop SAs across the segment, contributing to hiring, calibration, and technical community-building.
