Product Test Engineer - Machine Learning Hardware, Annapurna Labs
Shape the future of AI infrastructure! Join AWS and develop system-level test solutions for our innovative ML acceleration hardware, deployed across our global server fleet.
Annapurna Labs (our organization within AWS) design hardware and software that accelerates innovation. Customers choose us to create cloud solutions that solve challenges that were unimaginable a short time ago—even yesterday. Our custom chips, accelerators, and software stacks enable us to take on technical challenges that have never been seen before, and deliver results that help our customers change the world.
We're seeking highly skilled and motivated Product Test Engineers to join our Machine Learning Acceleration team at Annapurna Labs. In this role, you'll be at the forefront of validating and ensuring the quality of our advanced ML hardware systems as they transition from development to large‑scale deployment across AWS's vast server fleet. You'll be responsible for designing and implementing comprehensive system‑level test strategies that cover the full spectrum of our ML acceleration products, from individual components to fully integrated systems. This position requires a unique blend of hardware knowledge, software expertise, and systems thinking, as you'll be working at the intersection of custom silicon, complex firmware, and high‑performance ML workloads.
You'll collaborate closely with cross‑functional teams including hardware designers, software engineers, and operations specialists to develop robust test solutions that can scale to meet the demands of AWS's global infrastructure. Your work will be crucial in identifying and resolving integration issues, optimizing system performance, and ultimately ensuring that our ML acceleration products meet the highest standards of reliability and efficiency in real‑world data center environments. If you're passionate about pushing the boundaries of ML hardware testing and have a knack for solving complex system‑level challenges, we want you on our team.
