Principal Solutions Architect Tech, Electronics & Semiconductor, -Tech Electronics and Semiconductor

We are seeking a Principal Solutions Architect to serve as the senior technical leader for a portfolio of AWS's largest and most strategic semiconductor customers. In this role, you will operate at the intersection of Electronic Design Automation (EDA) and Generative AI
, partnering with C-suite and engineering leadership at the world's leading chip designers, foundries, and semiconductor IP companies to shape and accelerate their cloud transformation.

Key job responsibilities

• Own the senior technical relationship for several of the largest semiconductor accounts, translating each customer's business objectives (faster tape-outs, reduced design cycle time, cost-per-wafer efficiency, time-to-market) into AWS architectures and adoption plans.
• Lead high-stakes technical engagements from discovery through production, keeping the customer's business outcome as the primary framing lens for every recommendation.
• Serve as the trusted advisor to VP/CTO-level stakeholders, earning the right to influence multi-year technology strategy.

• Architect and optimize large-scale EDA workloads on AWS — front-end (logic/RTL simulation, synthesis, verification) and back-end (place-and-route, physical verification, timing/signoff) flows at scale.
• Guide customers on high-throughput HPC design, elastic compute (Spot/On-Demand fleets), high-performance shared storage (FSx for Lustre, NFS appliances), scheduler integration (LSF, Slurm), and license optimization for EDA tools (Synopsys, Cadence, Siemens EDA).
• Advise on Graviton adoption for EDA tooling, cost/performance benchmarking, and hybrid burst-to-cloud patterns.

• Help semiconductor customers apply Generative AI to their business — from design assistants, RTL/verification copilots, and knowledge-mining across design data, to GenAI-accelerated documentation, test generation, and yield/manufacturing analytics.
• Architect production GenAI solutions on Amazon Bedrock
  , agentic patterns (
  Agent Core
  ), model customization,
  RAG over proprietary design data, and responsible-AI guardrails.
• Establish reference architectures that bridge EDA and GenAI (e.g., LLM-assisted design workflows) and evangelize them across the segment.

• Operate with organization-wide (org+) influence — your architectures, mechanisms, and thought leadership should scale beyond your accounts to the broader HTES segment and AWS field.
• Create reusable assets: reference architectures, whitepapers, workshops, and internal enablement that raise the technical bar for the entire SA team.
• Represent the voice of the semiconductor customer to AWS service teams; influence the product roadmap for EDA and GenAI capabilities.
• Mentor and develop SAs across the segment, contributing to hiring, calibration, and technical community-building.

• 10+ years of specific technology domain areas (e.g. software development, cloud computing, systems engineering, infrastructure, security, networking, data & analytics) experience
• Bachelor's degree in computer science, engineering, mathematics or equivalent
• Experience developing technology solutions and evangelising end-to-end technology roadmaps that guide IT transformations toward cloud computing
• Experience communicating across technical and non-technical audiences and at C-level, including training, workshops, publications

• Knowledge of distributed systems design and implementation or equivalent
• Knowledge of large scale automation and workflow management or equivalent
• Knowledge of database design and implementation or equivalent
• Knowledge of presentations and whiteboarding skills with a high degree of comfort speaking with internal and external…
