Description

Amazon Web Services (AWS) Hardware Engineering team creates compute and storage server designs for Amazon’s innovative web services. The storage platform team develops and operates all the platforms for our major storage products (S3, EBS & EC2). Our designs are industry-leading in performance, frugality and operational excellence, and are critical to the success of the AWS business and the more than one million customers who use AWS today. Our success depends on our highly respected storage infrastructure; we’re handling massive scale and rapid integration of emergent technologies.

We are seeking experienced Hardware Design Engineers to build the next generation of our Nitro SSD hardware platform that is deployed through various storage platforms across their entire lifespan from inception to retirement. As noted in re:Invent 2021, Nitro SSD is the fastest growing vertically integrated NAND flash based storage solution at

AWS.

What you will do: As a member of the Storage Hardware Engineering team you will be responsible for the design of our storage platforms and AWS specific hardware components. You will interact with engineers across the company, and work with an interdisciplinary team to execute product designs from concept to production including design, development, validation, and the successful implementation of your work at large scale. You’ll provide leadership in the application of new technologies to large scale server deployments in a continuous effort to deliver a world-class customer experience. This is a fast-paced, intellectually challenging position, and you’ll work with thought leaders in multiple technology areas. You’ll have high standards for yourself and everyone you work with, and you’ll be constantly looking for ways to improve your products performance, quality and cost. We’re changing an industry, and we want individuals who are ready for this challenge and want to reach beyond what is possible today.

Why it matters: Public cloud IT services represent the majority of growth in the overall IT services market and will continue to do so for several years to come. The scale of AWS, combined with an understanding of how our hardware is used, creates a unique opportunity for hardware customizations that will directly benefit our customers.

Why you will love it: You will work directly with engineers across the company to enable the rapid development of next-generation storage solutions.

You will have a direct impact on our bottom line and the ability to deliver improvements for our customers. You will be part of a growing, fast paced, and fun team. You will have ownership for the implementation of your work.
