What is an Embedded Engineer at Amazon Web Services?
As an Embedded Engineer within Amazon Web Services (specifically within groups like Annapurna Labs), you are at the intersection of high-scale cloud infrastructure and raw hardware performance. You are not merely writing code; you are architecting the firmware and software stacks that power the next generation of Machine Learning accelerators and server chassis. Your work ensures that the physical hardware—from Baseboard Management Controllers (BMC) to complex I2C infrastructure—functions with the reliability and efficiency required to support the world’s most demanding cloud services.
This role is critical because you bridge the gap between silicon and software. You will engage in the full product lifecycle, from early concept design and schematic reviews to offsite board bringup and laboratory-based testing. It is a position of high impact, where your contributions directly influence the performance, qualification, and deployment of hardware that defines the AWS fleet. If you are passionate about diving deep into hardware-software co-design and thrive in an environment that prioritizes engineering rigor, this role offers a unique opportunity to shape the physical foundation of the cloud.
