AWS Compute & ML Services owns the design, planning, delivery, and operation of all AWS global infrastructure. 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, 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.

Amazon Web Services (AWS) Hardware Engineering team creates compute and storage server systems 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. 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. 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 Trusted Servers 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. You will have a direct impact on your customers success, drive the development of the Cloud, and have a meaningful impact on Amazons success. You will be part of a growing, fast-paced, and fun team.

Key Job Responsibilities

• Lead technical solutions for complex storage and/or cryptographic server and rack system architectural challenges. • Own end-to-end system reliability, proactively identifying and resolving deficiencies before customer impact. • Design and implement solutions to address system-level issues at large scale. • Decompose complex server system problems (testability, reliability, diagnostics) into deliverable tasks and features. • Apply expertise across hardware, software, system design, x86 architecture, processes, and operations. • Collaborate with hardware, software, manufacturing, supply chain, and product management teams. • Develop and implement diagnostic tools and monitoring solutions for production systems. • Debug complex system failures in time-sensitive settings.

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.

About the Company

A

Amazon.com Inc

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.
