Sr. Architecture Modeling Engineer, Annapurna ML

Custom Amazon designed silicon chips live at the heart of AWS Machine Learning servers, enabling faster, more capable, and more accurate machine learning for our customers. We’re looking for skilled software engineers to scale the team that co-design the software and hardware of these bleeding-edge system-on-chips (SoCs). Your software will map how to optimize customer workloads to current hardware, and inform the architectural decisions of future hardware generations.

You'll also work closely with our architecture and design teams to drive hardware/software co-design, developing both software and custom hardware to accelerate ML workloads on Trainium. Our team's charter is to make deep learning pervasive for everyday software developers and to democratize access to industry leading infrastructure - you'll be enabling that vision from the ground up.
