Responsibilities

  • Lead the design and development of Ethernet switching platforms.
  • Define and implement modular chassis functions such as system redundancy and power distribution.
  • Collaborate closely with PCB designers and other engineering teams.
  • Develop functional specifications, design verification plans, and test procedures.
  • Troubleshoot using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and specialized test equipment.

Benefits

  • Employees at Amazon are often offered comprehensive health benefits—including multiple medical plan options (no pre-existing condition exclusions, 100% covered in-network preventive care), dental and vision plans, a 24/7 medical advice line from day one, expert second-opinion services, and broad mental-health support with several free counseling sessions (including pediatric). Financial wellness typically includes a 401(k) with company match (up to 2%), Restricted Stock Units (equity), FSAs, an emergency savings program, product and partner discounts, and even college-savings and home-purchase programs.
