Cloud Hardware Development Engineer I, Annapurna Labs, Early Career - 2027
What's in it for you? An internship at Amazon means real responsibility from day one. You'll build, test, and learn alongside people who want to see you succeed, while making an impact that reaches far beyond campus.
About the team
Annapurna Labs designs the custom silicon at Amazon - including Graviton (our server processors), Trainium and Inferentia (our machine learning training and inference accelerators), and the Nitro system that powers modern EC2. We own the full stack, from silicon through the software that makes it work (compilers, runtimes, drivers, and the frameworks that let customers run workloads on our hardware).
Annapurna has hardware teams across a range of systems and disciplines, and we work to place you on a technical team aligned with your interests and strengths. Example teams and focus areas include:
- Board and system design for ML servers and accelerator platforms
- Firmware and low-level software development (BMC, device firmware)
- Hardware bring-up, validation, and post-silicon testing
- High-speed interconnect and signal integrity
- System-level integration across compute, networking, and storage
Once you join, we partner with you and our hiring managers to match you to a team where your background and interests fit best, so your project is something you're genuinely excited to work on.
As a Cloud HDE I, you'll contribute to real hardware development work, which may include:
- Supporting the design, bring-up, and validation of hardware systems and subsystems
- Developing firmware or low-level software that interfaces directly with hardware
- Debugging hardware-software integration issues in the lab using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and other bench equipment
- Writing and running tests to validate hardware functionality, performance, and reliability
- Collaborating with ASIC, systems, and software teams to take hardware from design through deployment
- Documenting your work and presenting findings to the team
