Application deadline: Sep 17, 2026
AWS Compute & ML Services owns the design, planning, delivery, and operation of all AWS global infrastructure. In other words, we're the people who keep the cloud running. We support all AWS data centers and all of the servers, storage, networking, power, and cooling equipment that ensure our customers have continual access to the innovation they rely on.

We work on the most challenging problems, with thousands of variables impacting the supply chain - and we're looking for talented people who want to help.
You'll join a diverse team of software, hardware, and network engineers, supply chain specialists, security experts, operations managers, and other vital roles. You'll collaborate with people across AWS to help us deliver the highest standards for safety and security while providing seemingly infinite capacity at the lowest possible cost for our customers. And you'll experience an inclusive culture that welcomes bold ideas and empowers you to own them to completion

Amazon Web Services (AWS) Hardware Engineering (HWEng) team creates compute, accelerator, edge and storage server designs for Amazon's innovative web services. 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 Hardware Engineers solve challenging technology problems, and build architecturally sound, high-quality server systems and components to enable AWS to realize critical business strategies.
We are seeking experienced Hardware Design Engineers to lead integration and operations of next generation storage (SSD) for our cloud systems

Our success depends on our highly respected server infrastructure; we're handling massive scale and rapid integration of emergent technologies.
What you will do: As a lead engineer on the HWEng Drives team, you will design and build infrastructure to operate our storage platforms at massive scale. You will lead the integration and delivery of SSD from OEM suppliers, and support the development of automated monitoring and failure analysis services to operate, debug, and scale these devices.
You will work closely with other AWS software teams to tailor and operate storage solutions for the AWS environment. 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

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 team members 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 AWS customers.
Why you will love it: You will work directly with engineers across the company to build next-generation hardware

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.
AWS Hardware Engineering team is seeking experienced hardware design engineers to design and build next-generation server systems, and AWS specific hardware component.
