SoC Device Driver Engineer, Machine Learning Accelerators
Custom silicon chips live at the heart of AWS Machine Learning servers, churning away to enable faster, more powerful, and more accurate machine learning for our customers. We’re looking for skilled engineers to scale the software team that develops the driver stack responsible for managing these cutting-edge system-on-chips (SoCs).
As a software engineer developing the SoC driver stack, you will:
Annapurna Labs, our organization within AWS, designs and deploys some of the largest custom silicon in the world, with many subsystems that must all be managed, tested, and monitored. The SoC drivers are a critical piece of the software stack that ensure the chip is functional, performant, and secure.
You will thrive in this role if you:
Although we build machine learning chips, no machine learning background is needed for this role. You (and your software) won’t be doing machine learning, but you'll also have plenty of opportunities to pick up ML concepts from colleagues, if you so desire.
This role can be based in either Cupertino, CA or Austin, TX. The team is split between the two sites, with no preference for one over the other.
This is a fast-paced role where you'll work with thought-leaders in multiple technology areas. You'll have high standards for yourself and everyone you work with, and you'll be constantly looking for ways to improve your software, as well as our products' overall performance, quality, and cost.
We're changing an industry. We're searching for individuals who are ready for this challenge, who want to reach beyond what is possible today. Come join us and build the future of machine learning!
Working at AWS
