Description

AWS Utility Computing (UC) provides product Annapurna Labs (our organization within AWS UC) designs silicon and software that accelerates innovation. Customers choose us to create cloud solutions that solve challenges that were unimaginable a short time ago—even yesterday. Our custom chips, accelerators, and software stacks enable us to take on technical challenges that have never been seen before, and deliver results that help our customers change the world.

We are seeking a Software Development Engineer to join our Power Architecture team, developing next-generation ML Acceleration Chips. In this role, you will focus on developing and implementing software algorithms that manage power, thermals, and performance across the chip, as well as the server system. Additionally, you will build tracing tools to capture power/performance metrics and create automated workflows to optimize training and inference workloads.

Key job responsibilities

- Develop and implement software and firmware for managing power, thermal, and performance behavior.

- Translate architectural specifications and models into working, tested code.

- Participate in design, implementation, and validation of control algorithms across chip, card, and server scope.

- Collaborate with power architects and other system teams to ensure smooth software-hardware integration.

- Own code quality through testing, debugging, and continuous integration practices.

- Develop and automate tools and frameworks for running training and inference workloads, as well as collecting power and performance metrics.

A day in the life

You will work closely with power architects who define the power architecture and control schemes — you will help translate those into efficient, reliable, and maintainable software.

This position is ideal for strong software engineers who are comfortable working across the software stack, with the opportunity to expand their expertise into the domain of power and performance management while working on next-generation hardware solutions for ML acceleration.
