Annapurna Labs, an Amazon company, designs and delivers high-end, custom silicon that sits at the very heart of AWS. Our devices don't just support the cloud — they actively define it. From Trainium, the purpose-built machine learning accelerator driving the next wave of AI innovation, to Graviton, the Arm-based server processor redefining price-performance for compute workloads, to Nitro, the advanced network and cloud management controller that powers every AWS instance — Annapurna's products consistently set the standard for the entire industry.
This is an exciting opportunity to join Amazon in developing the next generation of cloud products, in a highly collaborative, team-oriented environment.
We are seeking a highly experienced and passionate Senior Board Design Engineer to spearhead the development of next-generation hardware platforms built around Annapurna's state-of-the-art devices. The ideal candidate thrives on tackling complex technical challenges and brings extensive expertise in high-speed digital, power, and embedded system board design.

In this role, you will lead the design and development of complex electronic boards — from system architecture and component selection, through schematic capture, PCB layout oversight, board bring-up, validation, and debugging.
You will collaborate closely with cross-functional teams — including software, ASIC, mechanical, and system engineering — to ensure seamless integration and successful product delivery. As the technical focal point for your projects, you will provide technical leadership, make key design decisions, and drive engineering excellence.

Key job responsibilities

• Lead the architecture, design, and development of complex high-speed and mixed-signal boards.
• Define board-level architectures and select appropriate components based on system requirements.
• Create detailed schematics and guide PCB layout activities, ensuring signal integrity, power integrity, manufacturability, and reliability requirements are met.
• Perform board bring-up, debugging, validation, and root-cause analysis using advanced laboratory equipment.
• Drive technical decision-making and act as the primary hardware design authority for assigned projects.
• Review designs and provide technical mentorship to other engineers.
• Ensure designs meet performance, quality, schedule, and cost objectives.
