Are you interested in building embedded software for leading edge hardware to build end‑to‑end 400G+ solutions? Amazon is expanding Amazon Web Services (AWS) connectivity and is looking for help. AWS seeks a Software Development Engineer with experience developing embedded software on custom hardware including the most advanced FPGA SoCs. They will help develop, integrate, and test scalable high‑assurance embedded systems in the AWS technology ecosystem.

We develop AWS‑owned hardware solutions to scale globally, minimize cost, and maximize value for our customers. We are a growing team of hardware, software and FPGA engineers with a dedicated product development lab.

By working together on behalf of our customers, we are building the future one innovative product, service, and idea at a time. Are you ready to embrace the challenge? Come build the future with us.

This position requires that the candidate selected must currently possess and maintain an active TS/SCI security clearance. The position further requires that, after start, the selected candidate obtain and maintain an active TS/SCI security clearance with polygraph or commensurate clearance for each government agency for which they perform AWS work.

• Develop embedded software using Rust, and integrate with third‑party libraries to build end‑to‑end high‑assurance 400G+ solutions
• Develop low‑level drivers for ARM and RISC‑V targets, Linux drivers and kernel modules, business logic, and scalable software solutions to interoperate with AWS services
• Implement cryptographic and security requirements from government standards into embedded software designs
• Implement keying functionality including key generation, establishment, distribution, storage, and zeroization in embedded software to meet government certification standards
• Collaborate with design and system engineers to perform trade‑offs and implement solutions for customers
• Participate in design meetings to plan development and review peer designs
• Write and maintain unit tests, integration tests, and hardware‑in‑the‑loop tests using CI/CD pipelines
• Debug issues across the hardware/software boundary including RTL, firmware, and driver interactions

You will work on a cross‑functional team of hardware and software developers, writing embedded software in Rust to interact with custom hardware. You will use and develop CI/CD pipelines to automatically run your own unit tests, and hardware‑in‑the‑loop tests. You help deploy embedded software onto hardware targets and help debug issues that come along in RTL, hardware, or software. You will develop and document software sub‑systems and components in Rust;

you will coordinate with the team daily to make design decisions, resolve blockers, and review code.

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 your team members develop your engineering expertise so you feel empowered to take on more complex tasks in the future.

We value diverse experiences. Even if you do not meet all of the preferred 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.

AWS Infrastructure 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, with thousands of variables impacting the supply chain – and we’re looking for…
