Hardware Validation Engineer, NPD HardwareJob ID: 2774099 | Amazon Data Services, Inc.
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.

And you'll experience an inclusive culture that welcomes bold ideas and empowers you to own them to completion.
Amazon Web Services' Network Products Development team is looking for experienced test 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 data centers.
You will have previous experience testing network products. This includes reviewing designs for testability, developing manufacturing test plans, executing them, troubleshooting issues found during early prototype stages and transition to manufacturing. Compile and analyze production test data using automated data analysis techniques. You should be passionate about the role testing plays in achieving product reliability and quality. Applying skills in developing new test processes, test automation and debug is expected.
Prefer that position be based in SF Bay Area but will consider Seattle and Raleigh candidates. Candidate should be able to accommodate up to 10% travel to other AWS sites and Asia.
Key job responsibilitiesDevelop and implement detailed validation plans tailored to specific hardware designsCollaborate with design and production teams to understand and test against product requirementsAnalyze and interpret data from validation tests, offering insights and recommendationsDesign and document validation processes, findings, and insights in a structured and clear mannerComponent specification study and component validationOversee and plan the use of validation equipment to guarantee consistent resultsWork cross-functionally to troubleshoot and address any hardware issues identified during validationSecond source qualification, cost down design validation and manufacturing efficienciesSupport new product introduction and Sustaining engineeringDevelop and contribute in testing automationA day in the life
On an everyday basis as part of our team, you have the unique opportunity to understand the growing AWS network and our internal customers' requirement on interconnect solutions. You'll work backwards to devise hardware solutions by influencing the broad industry and/or to develop software tools with sister teams to maintain a highly available network that delights AWS customers. You design and implement processes and mechanisms that both help the team to deliver business impact to the organization in a systemic way, while also helping to raise the bar on our operational excellence.
Operating at the scale we do, there is no blueprint for how to do what we do, which encourages our engineers to identify and develop simple solutions to complex problems. We encourage durable solutions that look around corners while taking into consideration our customer needs from a cost, performance, and reliability perspective. We work closely with our internal partners that design, build and operate the network to ensure that our solutions meet their needs and exceed their expectations.
About the teamWithin AWS Networking the NPD (Network Product Development) organization is responsible for, designing the hardware, building the software, and owning the interconnects for the routers that power the global AWS network. Beyond product delivery we actively manage the fleet or routers in a network that grows by 70% annually. This means tracking key business and operational metrics to ensure that we operate smoothly and minimize or eliminate customer impact due to device related issues for a transparent AWS customer experience.
