Overview

Are you interested in building embedded software for leading edge hardware to build end to end 400G+ solutions? AWS seeks a Senior Software Development Engineer with technical leadership experience developing embedded software on custom hardware including FPGA System-on-Chip (SoCs). They will help architect, develop, and integrate 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.

This position will sit in Arlington, VA (Arlington HQ) at our new headquarters in Northern Virginia. The role requires that the candidate selected be a US Citizen and currently possess and maintain an active TS/SCI security clearance, with the ability to obtain and maintain an active TS/SCI clearance with polygraph or commensurate clearance for each government agency for which they perform AWS work after start.

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.

• Provide technical leadership in developing high assurance software systems
• Develop embedded software using Rust, and integrate with third party libraries to build end to end high assurance 100G+ 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
• Decompose complex cryptographic and security requirements from government standards into actionable software and hardware design specifications
• Analyze and translate keying requirements including key generation, establishment, distribution, storage, and zeroization into embedded software implementations that meet government certification standards
• Lead design and system engineers to perform tradeoffs and architect new solutions for customers
• Lead design meetings to plan development and review peer designs
• Help identify new opportunities and new technologies to improve the customer experience and add features
• Mentor and develop peer and junior engineers

You will be a technical leader on a cross-functional team of hardware and software developers, writing embedded software in Rust to interact with custom hardware. You will help set and maintain the standard for code quality, understand and plan for the impact of team decisions on software architecture in team meetings, code reviews and through written documents. You will lead architectural discussions, and strategic planning meetings.

You will use and develop CI/CD pipelines to automatically run unit tests and hardware-in-the-loop tests. You will deploy embedded software onto hardware targets and help debug issues that arise in RTL, hardware, or software. You will develop and document software sub-systems and components in Rust, coordinate with the team daily to make design decisions, resolve blockers, and review code. You will demonstrate a high standard, help prioritize development activities, and actively mentor other engineers.
