About the role

Senior managerial role leading engineering teams responsible for post-silicon validation, silicon bring-up, platform validation, and fleet engineering for server-class hardware within AWS Core Hardware. Manager-of-managers owning PCIe validation and signal integrity, CPU/memory quality, server performance, and test automation from silicon bring-up through fleet deployment and ongoing operations.

Responsibilities

  • Own the end-to-end technical output and operational health of engineering teams spanning PCIe validation and signal integrity, CPU and memory engineering, server performance, and test automation, from silicon bring-up through fleet deployment and ongoing operations.
  • Lead first-line managers and set the technical direction for validation methodology and fleet engineering, ensuring that validation plans, coverage models, debug workflows, and production monitoring strategies reflect the complexity of Amazon's custom server platforms and silicon.
  • Build the processes and tooling that connect what your teams learn in validation to how they operate in the fleet, closing the loop between pre-production findings and production outcomes.
  • Drive root-cause analysis and corrective action for issues that surface at any point in the lifecycle, including fleet-wide issues that trace back to silicon, interconnect, or memory behavior, with end-to-end technical response.
  • Partner with silicon suppliers, firmware, and hardware design teams to drive cross-functional resolution of platform-level issues that span silicon, firmware, board, and operational boundaries.
  • Represent organizational findings, fleet health posture, and risk assessments to senior leadership, translating complex silicon and platform data into actionable decisions for product teams, fleet operations, and architecture teams.
  • Build and develop a team of managers and engineers who think beyond validation and own outcomes in the fleet, developing end-to-end ownership mindset.
