Overview Annapurna Labs (our organization within AWS) designs silicon and software that accelerates innovation. Customers choose us to create cloud solutions that solve challenges that were unimaginable a short time ago—even yesterday. Our custom chips, accelerators, and software stacks enable us to take on technical challenges that have never been seen before, and deliver results that help our customers change the world.We are seeking a Signal or Power Integrity Engineer to join our hardware team and contribute to SI/PI analysis and optimization of advanced packaging solutions for next-generation machine learning and data center ASICs. You will support the package-level signal or power integrity effort — performing detailed simulations, building models, and contributing to design decisions across IC, package, and board boundaries. You'll work closely with senior engineers to help ensure our advanced packaging technologies meet performance, power delivery, and manufacturing targets.Key responsibilities Perform package-level SI or PI simulations for 2.5D, 3D-IC, fan-out, and silicon interposer/bridge architectures under guidance from senior engineers.Support package stack-up design: assist with dielectric material evaluation, impedance control analysis, layer assignment, and RDL routing studies.Run high-speed channel simulations (S-parameter extraction, time-domain analysis, eye diagrams) for die-to-die and die-to-board interfaces, or analyze package PDN performance (decoupling effectiveness, plane resonance, IR drop, AC impedance).Model advanced interconnects: microbumps, C4 bumps, TSVs, microvias, PTH vias, and RDL traces for signal or power paths.Build and validate models for decoupling technologies such as on-die capacitance, deep trench capacitors (DTCs), or IPD capacitors as needed.Coordinate with SoC die-level teams and board design teams to gather requirements and support co-optimization of package architecture.Flag potential package manufacturing risks - warpage, via reliability, impedance variation - and propose mitigation approaches.A day in the life Our team is dedicated to supporting new members. We have a broad mix of experience levels and tenures, and we're building an environment that celebrates knowledge-sharing and mentorship. Our senior members enjoy one-on-one mentoring and thorough, but kind, code reviews. We care about your career growth and strive to assign projects that help our team members develop your engineering expertise so you feel empowered to take on more complex tasks in the future.Diversity and inclusion AWS values diverse experiences. Even if you do not meet all of the qualifications and skills listed in the job description, we encourage candidates to apply. If your career is just starting, hasn't followed a traditional path, or includes alternative experiences, don't let it stop you from applying.About AWS 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.Inclusive Team Culture Here at AWS, it's in our nature to learn and be curious. Our employee-led affinity groups foster a culture of inclusion that empower us to be proud of our differences. Ongoing events and learning experiences, including our Conversations on Race and Ethnicity (CORE) and AmazeCon (gender diversity) conferences, inspire us to never stop embracing our uniqueness.Work/Life Balance We value work-life harmony. Achieving success at work should never come at the expense of sacrifices at home, which is why we strive for flexibility as part of our working culture. When we feel supported in the workplace and at home, there's nothing we can't achieve in the cloud.Mentorship & Career Growth We're continuously raising our performance bar as we strive to become Earth's Best Employer. That's why you'll find endless knowledge-sharing, mentorship and other career-advancing resources here to help you develop into a better-rounded professional.Basic Qualifications BS degree in electrical engineering or equivalent5+ years of experience in signal integrity, power integrity, or package designSolid understanding of either SI (S-parameter extraction, crosstalk, return loss, channel analysis) or PI (PDN impedance analysis, IR drop, decoupling strategy), with working awareness of the otherExperience with EM simulation and SI/PI tools such as HFSS, Cadence Sigrity (PowerSI, PowerDC, Clarity), ADS, or equivalentUnderstanding of advanced packaging technologies: 2.5D/3D-IC, silicon interposers, fan-out wafer-level packaging, RDL, TSVs, and microbump interconnectsFamiliarity with stack-up design and impedance control for multi-layer organic substrates or silicon interposers.Good communication skills with the ability to participate in technical discussions across silicon, package, and board teamsPreferred Qualifications MS with 3+ years in signal integrity, power integrity, or package designExposure to high-speed serial protocols (PCIe, UCIe, or custom SerDes) at the package levelExperience correlating SI/PI simulations with lab measurements (TDR, VNA, oscilloscope)Familiarity with equalization techniques (DFE, CTLE, FFE) or PDN target impedance methodologyInterest or experience in package co-design methodologies (chip-package-board co-simulation)Familiarity with high-density fan-out or silicon bridge packaging (e.g., EMIB, CoWoS, or similar)Exposure to package-level thermal-aware analysis, electromigration, or EMC/EMI considerationsAmazon is an equal opportunity employer and does not discriminate on the basis of protected veteran status, disability, or other legally protected status.Los Angeles County applicants: Job duties for this position include: work safely and cooperatively with other employees, supervisors, and staff; adhere to standards of excellence despite stressful conditions; communicate effectively and respectfully with employees, supervisors, and staff to ensure exceptional customer service; and follow all federal, state, and local laws and Company policies.

About the Company

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.
