What is an Embedded Engineer at Annapurna Labs (U.S.)?
As an Embedded Engineer at Annapurna Labs (U.S.), you are stepping into the core of AWS’s silicon innovation engine. Annapurna Labs is responsible for designing the custom hardware and silicon architectures—such as the Nitro System, Graviton processors, and Inferentia chips—that power the world’s largest cloud infrastructure. In this role, you bridge the critical gap between cutting-edge hardware and the software that brings it to life.
Your work directly impacts the performance, security, and scalability of products used by millions of AWS customers globally. You will be writing the foundational code that interacts directly with custom ASICs and SoCs, ensuring that massive compute clusters operate with maximum efficiency and minimal latency. This requires a deep understanding of computer architecture, operating systems, and bare-metal programming.
What makes this position both challenging and highly rewarding is the scale and complexity of the problem space. You are not just writing standard firmware; you are co-designing systems alongside hardware engineers, optimizing code to its absolute limits, and solving bottlenecks that standard off-the-shelf hardware cannot handle. Expect a fast-paced environment where your technical rigor and ability to navigate ambiguity will be tested daily.
