Embedded Software Engineer, Server Control Firmware

Description

Annapurna Labs 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. In Annapurna Labs we are at the forefront of hardware/software co-design not just in Amazon Web Services (AWS) but across the industry.

Our Chassis Software team is looking for candidates interested in diving deep into the different hardware technologies that power our Machine Learning servers and develop the software and firmware to drive, support and sustain these technologies as they evolve through concept and manufacturing, and finally take their place in our rapidly expanding fleet of emerging Machine Learning products our customers demand.

Technologies useful to this role include operating systems, Linux architecture, embedded systems, and control systems.

• Provide Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) and Satellite Management Controller (SMC) software and firmware for Machine Learning Accelerator (MLA) servers.
• Continuously collaborate with other server and board software teams responsible for accelerator management firmware and other programmable logic devices.
• Work within the larger MLA Systems Software group to support development of mission-mode firmware, exercisers for manufacturing and vetting, and automation for qualification and deployment.
• Engage in new product development by participating in early concept design reviews, schematic approvals, offsite board bringup and laboratory-based testing.

The MLA Chassis Software team builds board firmware primarily for mission-mode control of sensors and other board-level hardware. This includes debug, testing, qualification, and manufacturing. We touch technologies from Linux kernel device drivers to the I2C infrastructure pervasive in the server and everything in between. We are not working on machine learning algorithms, but rather we work on the physical systems (hardware) which execute and accelerate those machine learning algorithms.

Data paths, I2C, SPI, PCIe, and device control are our bread and butter.

• 3+ years of non-internship professional software development experience.
• 2+ years of non-internship design or architecture (design patterns, reliability and scaling) of new and existing systems experience.
• Experience programming with at least one software programming language.

• 3+ years of full software development life cycle, including coding standards, code reviews, source control management, build processes, testing, and operations experience.
• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics, or a related field.
