About The Position

AWS EC2 owns the design, planning, delivery, and operation of all AWS server
instances. In other words, we’re the people who keep the cloud running. We
support all AWS compute, storage, accelerator servers and 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 talented people who want to help.

You’ll join a diverse team of hardware engineers, software engineers, system
engineers, technical program managers, and other vital roles. You’ll collaborate
with people across AWS to help us deliver the highest standards for safety and
security while providing seemingly infinite capacity at the lowest possible cost
for our customers. And you’ll experience an inclusive culture that welcomes bold
ideas and empowers you to own them to completion.

AWS Hardware Engineering is looking for a customer-obsessed, team-driven
technology leader to take our engineering of server hardware and software to the
next level. As a hardware engineer on the PCIe and Signal Integrity team within
the Core Components Organization, you will own the hardware design of
next-generation server components and systems. You will work on the architecture
and development of high-speed, complex PCB designs for server components. You
will be responsible for PCIe topology for the EC2 servers, including retimer and
switch hardware. Your expertise in high speed PCB design will be crucial as you
work with an interdisciplinary team of engineers to design, develop, validate,
launch, monitor and troubleshoot high throughput interfaces at scale. You will
design and build test hardware and environments to validate your designs and to
support debugging. At AWS we are changing the industry and want individuals who
are ready for a challenge to reach beyond what is possible today.

Why AWS
Amazon Web Services (AWS) is the world’s most comprehensive and broadly adopted
cloud platform. We pioneered cloud computing and never stopped innovating —
that’s why customers from the most successful startups to Global 500 companies
trust our robust suite of products and services to power their businesses.

Inclusive Team Culture
Here at AWS, it’s in our nature to learn and be curious. Our employee-led
affinity groups foster a culture of inclusion that empower us to be proud of our
differences. Ongoing events and learning experiences, including our
Conversations on Race and Ethnicity (CORE) and AmazeCon (gender diversity)
conferences, inspire us to never stop embracing our uniqueness.

Work/Life Balance
We value work-life harmony. Achieving success at work should never come at the
expense of sacrifices at home, which is why we strive for flexibility as part of
our working culture. When we feel supported in the workplace and at home,
there’s nothing we can’t achieve in the cloud.

Mentorship and Career Growth
We’re continuously raising our performance bar as we strive to become Earth’s
Best Employer. That’s why you’ll find endless knowledge-sharing, mentorship and
other career-advancing resources here to help you develop into a better-rounded
professional.
