Description Application deadline: May 17, 2026 AWS Infrastructure Services owns the design, planning, delivery, 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.

Amazon Web Services (AWS) Hardware Engineering team creates compute and storage server designs for Amazon's web services. Our engineers work with leading edge technologies, solve challenging problems, influence the industry's roadmaps, and develop new and unique solutions that are ahead of the pack. We work in an environment that fosters innovation and creativity. We encourage and invest in new directions and new ideas that will serve our customers better. We sometimes fail, but we learn from such failures and we improve. It is because of the team and our constant focus on the customers, that we are able to develop creative and new designs that set the standards on performance, quality, cost, and operational excellence. What you will do: As a member of the Server Hardware Engineering team you will own and lead the design and development of server products utilizing a wide range of design and manufacturing partners. You will work closely with our customers to understand their technical needs and business goals, leveraging your experience with server design and the knowledge of various teams to architect the solutions that we will deploy at scale. To deliver your products you will work with an interdisciplinary team of component, firmware, test, qualification, and integration engineers, and lead our design and manufacturing partners to bring these servers to the data center. After launch you will oversee the fleet of servers you develop, monitoring their quality and how they are meeting the customer requirements. This is a fast-paced, intellectually 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 individuals who are ready for this challenge and want to reach beyond what is possible today. Why you will love it: You will work directly with a talented team of engineers and product owners across the company to create next-generation hardware.
