Manufacturing System Development Engineer, Cloud AIMLstorage server teams

Application deadline: Jul 22 2026

Amazon Web Services (AWS) Hardware Engineering designs and delivers next-generation cloud infrastructure. Our team builds custom accelerator systems that power AI machine learning and compute workloads at global scale.

We are seeking a Manufacturing Systems Development Engineer to own manufacturing test software diagnostic tooling and hardware debug for GPU-based server platforms at our ODM/CM manufacturing this role you will be on the manufacturing floor debugging complex system failures developing automation to improve yield and throughput and building diagnostic tools that enable root cause identification at the line. You will bridge the gap between hardware design intent and manufacturing execution ensuring our platforms are testable diagnosable and launch with exceptional quality.

This role requires someone equally comfortable writing code and debugging hardware. You will develop test automation build diagnostic frameworks and personally troubleshoot failures spanning firmware kernel drivers PCIe power and GPU subsystems all in a fast-paced manufacturing environment. When something fails at the line you are the person who figures out why.

Domestic and international travel (25%)

Key job responsibilities
Manufacturing Debug & Root Cause Analysis
- Debug complex system-level failures at the manufacturing line across compute storage GPU networking power and thermal domains
- Perform root cause analysis correlating across firmware kernel driver PCIe signal integrity and physical layers to isolate faults
- Troubleshoot Linux boot and runtime failures across x86 and ARM architectures including NVMe GPU NIC and accelerator subsystems
- Drive Root Cause Corrective Action (RCCA) for yield detractors test escapes and recurring manufacturing failures
- Provide on-site ODM/CM support during critical builds EVT/DVT/PVT phases and production ramp

Test Software & Automation Development

- Design develop and maintain manufacturing test software and diagnostic tools deployed at ODM/CM lines
- Build automation that reduces manual triage enabling faster fault isolation and higher first-pass yield
- Develop and optimize system-level test flows (BFT functional test stress test burn-in) for GPU accelerator platforms
- Build manage and deploy CI/CD pipelines for rapid deployment of test code to manufacturing environments
- Write scalable robust code in Python C/C or Java to solve manufacturing test and debug challenges

Manufacturing Process & Quality

- Define and improve manufacturing test strategy including coverage duration fixture requirements and pass/fail criteria
- Analyze test data and yield trends to identify systemic issues; drive design and process improvements
- Collaborate on DFx reviews (DFT/DFM) to ensure new designs are testable and diagnosable at the manufacturing line
- Develop diagnostic tooling requirements for ODM/CM enablement ensuring partners can effectively screen and debug at scale
- Research and implement automation techniques to improve manufacturing efficiency and reduce human intervention

Cross-Team Collaboration

- Work across hardware design firmware qualification and manufacturing engineering teams to close the loop between line failures and design improvements
- Engage with ODMs and design partners on testability diagnostic and automation requirements during NPI
- Collaborate with internal teams on GPU module integration test coverage and manufacturing debug procedures
- Partner with fleet health teams to ensure manufacturing diagnostics align with production monitoring and field failure analysis

- 2 years of non-internship professional software development experience
- 1 years of designing or architecting (design patterns reliability and scaling) of new and existing systems experience
- Experience programming with at least one modern language such as C C# Java Python Golang PowerShell Ruby
- 5 years of software development experience with at least one modern language (Python C/C Java)
- 3 years of experience debugging hardware systems server accelerator storage or high-tech platforms
- Experience with Linux/Unix systems including boot flow kernel drivers and OS-level diagnostics
- Hands-on experience troubleshooting hardware failures at a manufacturing line or lab environment
- Experience working with ODMs/CMs through product development and manufacturing lifecycle
- Willingness to travel domestically and internationally (25%) including extended on-site manufacturing support

- Experience with GPU-based server or accelerator platform manufacturing and debug
- Familiarity with server hardware architecture: PCIe topology NVMe BMC/IPMI power delivery thermal
- Experience developing manufacturing test automation or diagnostic frameworks at scale
- Experience with board-level debug (oscilloscope logic analyzer)
- Knowledge of firmware BIOS BMC and their interaction with manufacturing test flows
- Experience with manufacturing yield analysis test optimization and throughput improvement
- Experience building CI/CD pipelines for test software deployment
- Familiarity with telemetry log correlation and failure pattern analysis in manufacturing environments
