The Cloud Hardware Development Engineer role at AWS focuses on defining server architectures for AI/ML workloads and driving hardware validation from component selection to fleet integration. The team is responsible for launching GPU-accelerated servers and ensuring their quality and performance in datacenters. This position requires collaboration with various engineering teams and ODM partners to deliver high-performance designs. The ideal candidate will have extensive experience in hardware design and a strong understanding of the full hardware stack.

• Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering, computer engineering, or equivalent.
• 7+ years of hardware design and development experience for server, compute, or large-scale infrastructure platforms.
• Experience in one or more server technologies: thermal/mechanical design, power delivery, high-speed signal integrity, or accelerator subsystems.
• Experience leading hardware development through full product lifecycle (concept through production ramp).
• 5+ years of experience working with ODMs through the product development and manufacturing lifecycle (EVT, DVT, PVT).
• In-depth expertise in high-speed bus design, signal integrity analysis, or power delivery for GPU/accelerator platforms.
• 5+ years of experience with hardware bring-up, debug, and root cause analysis across PCIe, NVMe, memory, and accelerator interconnects.
• Experience owning fleet quality metrics and driving design improvements based on operational failure data.
• Experience with thermal/mechanical design for high-power-density compute platforms.
• Experience working in large-scale datacenter or cloud environments.

• Define server architectures based on workload demand and customer requirements.
• Translate server architectures into detailed designs and component specifications.
• Drive design reviews with ODM/JDM partners covering schematic, layout, BOM, and manufacturing DFx.
• Define and execute validation strategies from PCBA bring-up through server and rack integration.
• Own hardware debug during EVT/DVT/PVT builds and correlate failures across various systems.
• Triage hardware issues at both ODM facilities and datacenters and conduct root cause analysis.
• Own fleet quality metrics post-launch and monitor operational telemetry for systemic issues.
• Collaborate with EC2 architecture teams to align on instance definitions and platform trade-offs.
• Drive ODM/JDM design partners through development milestones and production ramp.
• Collaborate with firmware, software, and operations teams to ensure designs are debuggable and serviceable.
