Amazon Amazon · Big Tech · Cupertino, CA · Hardware Development

The role is for a Senior Reliability Engineer within Amazon's AWS Annapurna Labs, specifically on the Trainium Manufacturing, Quality and Reliability (MQR) team. The focus is on designing and testing infrastructure technologies for AI platforms, driving manufacturing process improvements, identifying and mitigating product/component risks, and performing reliability predictions for hardware components related to AI processors like Trainium. While the team works on AI platforms, the core function of this role is hardware reliability engineering and manufacturing quality, not direct AI/ML model development or deployment.

What you'd actually do

  1. Be responsible for the test validation of future technologies.
  2. Drive manufacturing process improvements to address reliability issues and concerns.
  3. You will have a fundamental understanding of Reliability statistics/Reliability tests and/or solid understanding of computer systems to influence design for reliability.
  4. Lead identifying and validating product/component risks and work with design teams to mitigate them and define the test methodology and test coverage to assure product reliability.
  5. Perform Reliability prediction of failure mechanisms, products under development and products in the field.
