About The Position

Amazon Web Services' Network Products Development team is looking for experienced hardware engineering professionals to help build our next generation networking platforms. The right candidate will play a key role in the design and development of our next generation Ethernet switching platforms for our world class datacenters. Strong experience in modular chassis based enterprise/carrier products is a must. The ideal candidate is a strong hardware board designer with Ethernet networking experience in the areas of terabit switch fabrics, 10/40/100 gigabit interfaces, embedded CPU subsystems, and network processors. Previous experience in defining and designing modular chassis based products is required. Must have previous experience working with Asian ODM and JDM partners, both in development and in manufacturing. You will have previous experience in high speed digital design as a design lead in the networking field. This includes architectural definition, specification, key component selection, detailed design, working closely with PCB designers, testing, and transition to manufacturing. Applying skills in simulation, timing analysis, thermal analysis, and EMC is expected. AWS Infrastructure 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.
