Amazon Web Services (AWS)
Seattle, WA Full Time
POSTED ON 1/19/2025
AVAILABLE BEFORE 2/17/2025
Description

We are seeking a senior leader in Hardware Development to lead a group that is defining and executing the Mechanical and Thermal vision across generations of compute and storage platforms for our cloud. You will own the strategy and oversee the development and management of the product roadmaps based on it.

This is a fast-paced, intellectually challenging position for a highly experienced professional. You’ll work with thought leaders in multiple technology areas. You will partner with our AWS services owners (EC2, EBS, S3, etc.) to inform their architectures and product offerings, and drive adoption of innovative technologies. You will influence suppliers’ roadmaps and partner with them to launch custom products.

You must have relentlessly high standards for yourself and everyone you work with, and you must be constantly looking for ways to improve your products’ performance, quality, and cost. Attention to details, creativity, depth of industry knowledge, and a well-trained business sense are a must. We’re continuously changing the industry we are in. We want a leader who is ready for this challenge, and wants to reach beyond what is possible today.

The successful candidate must have experience building and leading Hardware Development team(s) in a fast-paced environment. The candidate must be highly technical, analytical, effective in a matrix organization, and adept at synthesizing a variety of technologies and capabilities.

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.

You’ll join a diverse team of software, hardware, and network engineers, supply chain specialists, security experts, operations managers, and other vital roles. You’ll collaborate with people across AWS to help us deliver the highest standards for safety and security while providing seemingly infinite capacity at the lowest possible cost for our customers. And you’ll experience an inclusive culture that welcomes bold ideas and empowers you to own them to completion.

  • Build hardware to solve problems and increase efficiency at the data center
  • Prioritize and plan the execution of the technical thermal mechanical roadmap
  • Hire and develop a team of world-class hardware developers, providing guidance and direction to achieve the product vision
  • Make business decisions around build vs. buy, cost vs. cycle time, performance vs. cost, power vs. performance etc. to optimize our portfolio of products across our cloud
