System Development Engineer, Hardware Test Automation

In Annapurna Labs we are at the forefront of hardware/software co-design not just in Amazon Web Services (AWS) but across the industry. The Machine Learning Accelerated System Software Team is looking for candidates interested in writing platform and device software for our Machine Learning servers.

Our team writes software to control, test, and manufacture board and system level components for the most advanced servers in the world. Come learn how the most complicated servers in AWS work, and grow your skills in cloud-scale system design.

We are seeking a test automation expert who is comfortable with software development best practices and not afraid to read a hardware spec. The bread and butter of our work is done in Lua and familiarity with shell scripting and Python is also core to what we do.

Key job responsibilities

- Developing software associated with mission mode capabilities of our devices, including metrics, alarms, hardware monitoring, and interrupt handling.

- Working with the Hardware design teams across EC2

- Member of a team responsible for software associated with server components such as PCIe retimers, and other I2C and SPI connected devices.

- Developing software which can be maintained, improved upon, documented, tested, and reused.
