Cloud Hardware Development Engineer, AWS

About the Role

Shape what comes next at Amazon Web Services (AWS). Engineers work on scalable systems, cloud services, and customer-facing products that operate at global scale. This is an environment where you learn by building.

As a Cloud Hardware Development Engineer, you will be part of a program team working alongside Senior Engineers to support the design, debug, validation, and optimization of cloud server hardware. You will be involved in projects from concept through production, gaining exposure to the complete design lifecycle. You will also support engineering builds, gaining hands-on experience with high-volume manufacturing.

AWS is looking for hardware engineers across a variety of domain expertise, including:

• Thermal and heat transfer design
• Mechanical design and packaging
• Materials science
• Reliability engineering
• Signal integrity (high-speed digital)
• Power electronics and power delivery
• General board development (PCB/system board design)
• Server system design and integration
• Manufacturing engineering

Key Responsibilities

As a Cloud Hardware Development Engineer, you will engage with an experienced cross-disciplinary staff to conceive and design innovative server products. You will work closely with an internal inter-disciplinary team and outside partners to drive key aspects of product definition, execution, and test. You must be responsive, flexible, and able to succeed within an open, collaborative peer environment.

Responsibilities May Include:

• Support thermal, mechanical, electrical, or reliability analysis and design of server hardware
• Perform design simulation (thermal, structural, signal integrity, or power)
• Validate hardware and debug issues at the board, system, or rack level
• Develop and execute test plans for hardware qualification and reliability
• Characterize materials and components for server applications
• Support PCB schematic and layout reviews
• Develop automated test tools and data analysis methods
• Travel to support engineering builds at manufacturing partners
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams including firmware, software, and manufacturing

Requirements & Tech Stack

Basic Qualifications:

• Currently has, or is in the process of obtaining, a Bachelor's degree or above in Mechanical, Electrical, Industrial Engineering, or related STEM field
• Are 18 years of age or older

Preferred Qualifications:

• Knowledge of server hardware and components
• Co-op program at your university in computer science, computer engineering, or related field, or experience from previous technical internship(s) or demonstrated project experience
• Experience with simulation and 3D modeling software
• Programming or scripting skills (e.g., Python, MATLAB) for data analysis or automation
• Coursework or hands-on project experience in one or more hardware engineering domains (e.g., thermal systems, mechanical design, power electronics, signal integrity, PCB design, reliability, or manufacturing processes)
