Hardware Development Engineer, AWS Board Core Design Team

Amazon Web Services (AWS)
Cupertino, CA Full Time
POSTED ON 10/4/2026
AVAILABLE BEFORE 11/10/2026
Description

AWS EC2 owns the design, planning, delivery, and operation of all AWS server instances. In other words, we’re the people who keep the cloud running. We support all AWS compute, storage, accelerator servers and 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 hardware engineers, software engineers, system engineers, technical program 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.

Key job responsibilities

AWS Hardware Engineering is looking for a customer-obsessed, team-driven technology leader to take our engineering of server hardware to the next level. As a Senior Hardware Development Engineer on the AWS Board Core Design team within the Core Components Organization, you will develop the building blocks for our next-generation servers. You will be responsible for the hardware design, development, and maintenance of the hardware component circuit boards that build up the AWS servers. You will work on next generation technology, across multiple domains, including high speed interconnects, multi-core performant processors, and high-capacity multi-channel memory. You will directly contribute to the success of the EC2 servers by owning the component board from architecture, development, validation and operations. At AWS we are changing the industry and want individuals who are ready for a challenge to reach beyond what is possible today.
