Board Software Jobs (NOW HIRING)

Annapurna Labs designs silicon and software that accelerates innovation. Customers choose us to create cloud solutions that solve challenges that were unimaginable a short time ago-even yesterday. Our custom chips, accelerators, and software stacks enable us to take on technical challenges that have never been seen before, and deliver results that help our customers change the world.
In Annapurna Labs we are at the forefront of hardware/software co-design not just in Amazon Web Services (AWS) but across the industry

Our Chassis Software team is looking for candidates interested in diving deep into the different hardware technologies that power our Machine Learning servers and develop the software and firmware to drive, support and sustain these technologies as they evolve though concept and manufacturing, and finally take their place in our rapidly expanding fleet of emerging Machine Learning products our customers demand.
Technologies useful to this role include operating systems, Linux architecture, embedded systems, and control systems. Our team uses, C, C++, Lua, Bash, Python and other similar languages to develop device drivers, enable control systems which utilize sensor data, and develop automation software. Familiarity with Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) software and architecture is helpful but not required

Although we use machine learning workloads to validate systems software, this team is focused on codeveloping reliable server software and hardware for customers to deploy their ML workloads at scale.
Key job responsibilities
- Provide Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) and Satellite Management Controller (SMC) software and firmware for Machine Learning Accelerator (MLA) servers.
- Continuously collaborate with other server and board software teams responsible for accelerator management firmware and other programmable logic devices.
- Work within the larger MLA Systems Software group to support development of mission-mode firmware, exercisers for manufacturing and vetting, and automation for qualification and deployment.
- Engage in new product development by participating in early concept design reviews, schematic approvals, offsite board bringup and laboratory-based testing.
A day in the life
The MLA Chassis Software team was builds on board firmware primarily for mission-mode control of sensors and other board-level hardware. This includes debug, testing, qualification, and manufacturing. We touch technologies from Linux kernel device drivers to the I2C infrastructure pervasive in the server and everything in between

We are not working on machine learning algorithms, but rather we work on the physical systems (hardware) which execute and accelerate those machine learning algorithms. Data paths, I2C, SPI, PCIe, and device control are our bread and butter.
About the team
Our team is dedicated to supporting new members. We have a broad mix of experience levels and tenures, and we're building an environment that celebrates knowledge-sharing and mentorship

Our engineers enjoy one-on-one mentoring and thorough, but kind, code reviews. We care about your career growth and strive to assign projects that help our team members develop your engineering expertise so you feel empowered to take on more complex tasks in the future.
Diverse Experiences
AWS values diverse experiences. Even if you do not meet all of the qualifications and skills listed in the job description, we encourage candidates to apply

If your career is just starting, hasn't followed a traditional path, or includes alternative experiences, don't let it stop you from applying.
About 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 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 & 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.
