Full Job Description

Annapurna Labs, an AWS organization with development centers in the U.S. and Israel, builds custom silicon and software for AWS customers. Our team combines cloud-scale innovation with world-class expertise across silicon engineering, hardware design, verification, software, and operations to tackle technical challenges that have never been seen before. Join our Silicon Validation team to validate next-generation machine learning accelerators that power AWS's cloud computing infrastructure. You'll work in a fast-paced, startup-like environment alongside some of the brightest minds in the industry on cutting-edge, internet-scale technology that directly impacts how customers use Machine Learning acceleration. We are changing the landscape of cloud infrastructure by accelerating the development of custom silicon by moving beyond traditional partnerships to dominate in AI training and inference. Your work will span validation of the complete vertical stack—silicon, PCB, high-speed components (HBM, PCIe, chip-to-chip), inter-system connections, and system-to-system interfaces. You'll dive deep into new technology hardware components and scaling technologies that power our Machine Learning boards and servers at scale, ensuring every component of our hardware and software comes together into products our customers rely on. Key job responsibilities As a Validation Engineer on our Machine Learning Acceleration team, you'll lead and own critical validation aspects across the entire product development lifecycle—from early design validation through emulation, silicon bring-up, post-silicon validation, and ongoing support of production systems deployed in AWS data centers. You'll collaborate deeply with architecture, RTL design, design verification, firmware, and software teams to ensure our next-generation AI/ML accelerators meet the highest standards of quality and performance. This role requires bridging multiple domains and broad scope of impact—from low-level hardware int
