About the role

Cloud Hardware Development Engineer responsible for fleet reliability and sustaining engineering of deployed storage platforms, driving failure analysis, component lifecycle management, and translating field performance into next-generation design requirements for storage servers powering AWS services.

Responsibilities

  • Own fleet quality metrics post-launch: platform-level annualized failure rates, unsellable server rates, and component-level failure modes.
  • Drive root cause analysis on high-volume failure patterns—particularly connector and cable-driven failures, storage controller faults, and power-loss protection issues.
  • Correlate field failure data with manufacturing lot, supplier, and test escape information to identify systemic trends.
  • Engage with component suppliers on corrective actions.
  • Manage platform-specific BOM variants across multiple deployed generations simultaneously.
  • Translate fleet failure patterns into concrete requirements for next-generation platforms.
  • Define test content additions based on failure modes observed in production.
  • Contribute failure-mode-driven additions to manufacturing test coverage and data center vetting automation.
  • Define and execute validation strategies from PCBA bring-up through server and rack integration — covering power sequencing, signal integrity, thermal characterization, and NVMe/SSD subsystem performance.
  • Own hardware debug during EVT/DVT/PVT builds, correlating failures across PCIe, power rails, NVMe links, and storage controller subsystems.
  • Triage hardware issues at ODM facilities and datacenters, conduct root cause analysis, and implement corrective actions.
  • Work with storage service teams, datacenter operations, and NPI engineering to align on fleet quality targets and resolution priorities.
  • Drive ODM/JDM partners through corrective action implementation.
  • Collaborate with firmware, software, and operations teams to ensure diagnostic tooling and fleet dashboards provide visibility into fleet health.

Qualifications

  • Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or equivalent
  • 2+ years of hardware design, development and validation experience for server or compute platforms
  • Experience in one or more server technologies: thermal/mechanical design, power delivery, high-speed signal integrity, or accelerator subsystems
  • Experience developing functional specifications, design verification plans, and validation test procedures
