What you will do: As a member of the AWS Board Core Design & Services team you will own next‑generation server components. You will have demonstrated results in the architecture and development of components used in servers, including motherboards, graphics, accelerators, and programmable hardware. You will collaborate with an interdisciplinary engineering team to design, develop, validate, and launch at large scale.

You will provide leadership in applying new technologies to servers, continuously improving performance, quality, and cost to deliver a world‑class customer experience.

Why it matters: Public cloud IT services represent the majority of growth in the IT services market and will continue to expand. The scale of AWS creates a unique opportunity for differentiated hardware that directly benefits customers.

Why you will love it: You will build next‑generation hardware that powers the cloud, deliver improvements for customers, and have a direct impact on the bottom line. You will be part of a fast‑paced, fun, growing team owning the implementation of your work.

A day in the life: Hardware engineers within this team work in a variety of areas: hardware design and development; building systems that validate hardware quality in manufacturing; monitoring and improving hardware reliability in data centers and platforms. We cover everything from low‑level hardware to embedded software and systems that operate and monitor it. Engineers identify and develop simple solutions to complex problems, considering cost, performance, and reliability.

Our organization is responsible for system innovation in the servers used by all of Amazon Web Services. Beyond product delivery we actively manage the fleet of servers in the growing data center, tracking key business and operational metrics to minimise or eliminate customer impact from device‑related issues. We support the development and management of compute, database, storage, IoT, platform, and productivity services, including specialised security solutions.
