As a Cloud Hardware Development Engineer, you will oversee end‑to‑end ownership of storage and/or accelerator (AI/ML/GPU) server platforms, from New Product Introduction (NPI) through fleet health in production. You will collaborate with internal customers and interdisciplinary teams to architect, develop, launch, and maintain server systems that run at scale in the AWS fleet.

• Own the full NPI lifecycle for new server platforms, including architecture definition, design, qualification, manufacturing ramp, and launch.
• Lead technical solutions for complex server and rack system architectural challenges.
• Collaborate with ODM/manufacturing partners to develop, validate, and manufacture server products at scale.
• Develop functional specifications, design verification plans, and test procedures.
• Drive qualification and readiness milestones, ensuring new platforms meet performance, reliability, and cost targets before fleet deployment.
• Identify and resolve technical risks early in the development cycle to prevent production issues.
• Own fleet health for launched platforms, designing predictive failure detection systems and pursuing zero‑touch operations.
• Debug complex system failures in time‑sensitive settings and perform root‑cause analysis across firmware, kernel, driver, thermal, power, and physical layers.
• Apply expertise across hardware, software, system design, x86 architecture, compute, storage, network, and GPU domains to design and implement large‑scale solutions.
• Collaborate with internal customers to ensure hardware meets data‑path and control‑path requirements and to onboard new servers into customer ecosystems.
• Partner with datacenter operations to close the loop between field failures and design improvements.
• Interface with vendors and ODMs to scale products and learn operational challenges to continuously improve the customer experience.

• Bachelor’s degree or higher in electrical or computer engineering, or equivalent.
• 5+ years of professional hardware design and validation experience for components, subsystems, and systems.
• Experience with server technologies, including board design, high‑speed bus design, signal integrity, failure analysis, and server components such as CPU, GPU, SSD, memory, BIOS, BMC, and networking.
• Experience developing and executing test procedures for mechanical or electrical systems/components.
• Experience working with ODMs/manufacturers throughout the product development and manufacturing lifecycle.
• Experience building predictive failure detection or proactive remediation systems at fleet scale.
• Familiarity with PCIe topology, NVLink, NVMe, and accelerator interconnects.
• Experience with large‑scale datacenter or cloud environments.
• Strong English‑language communication skills, both written and verbal.
• Knowledge of operating systems, hardware, storage, network, security, database administration, and cloud infrastructure.
• 5+ years of hardware design and validation experience for components, subsystems, and systems.
