Annapurna Labs Hardware Engineering department is a fast growing and leading-edge research and development team that creates compute, storage server and machine-learning designs for our innovative web service and e-commerce technology platforms. Our designs are industry-leading in terms of performance, frugality and operational excellence, and are critical to the success of the AWS business and the hundreds of thousands of customers who use utility computing today.

Annapurna Labs, as part of Amazon, is looking for a Nitro System Manufacturing Integration Lead Engineer to be part of defining, shaping, and implementing manufacturing flows, test definitions, and card-to-server integration processes for Nitro-based platforms. This includes to be part of the manufacturing flow architecture, production test strategy, process stabilization, and yield optimization bridging system design intent with high-volume manufacturing execution.

Key job responsibilities
As a System Manufacturing Integration Lead Engineer, in the Nitro team, you will own the end-to-end manufacturing flows for accelerator card-to-server integration across manufacturing partner facilities driving the process from initial definition through stabilization into a scalable, high-yield mass production operation.

Key responsibilities include:
- Architect manufacturing flows — be part of the complete card-to-server integration sequence, including every process step, quality gate, and decision point from sub-assembly through system integration and tests.
- Define test strategy — be part of determining what to test, when, and at which station, covering card-level functional tests, post-integration validation, firmware provisioning, and first power-up diagnostics.
- Establish classification criteria — be part of determining pass/fail thresholds and test exit gates to maximize yield and minimize material waste.
- Drive process stabilization — work directly and on-site with manufacturing partners to implement, debug, and iterate on manufacturing flows from early builds through a locked, repeatable production process.
- Design alternative flows — develop parallel manufacturing paths to address real-world constraints such as component availability gaps, deferred card integration, and hub-based assembly models.
- Own process documentation & KPIs — maintain manufacturing flow baselines, drive process change control, and track yield, first-pass rate, cycle time, and defect Pareto.
- Lead cross-functional coordination — serve as the single point of ownership across hardware engineering, firmware, test/vetting, thermal, mechanical, and operations teams for Nitro-based accelerator servers built at scale.

Basic qualifications

- B.Sc. in Electrical Engineering / SW Science / Compute engineering or in related field.
- 7+ years in system integration (HW/SW/SoC’s) and manufacturing for Compute/Embedded systems (ARM, x86, AMD).
- 3+ years working directly with design and manufacturing partners, including on-site presence at partner facilities.
- Experience leading a product through the full manufacturing lifecycle from initial flow definition through process stabilization and volume production.
- Experience with operating systems, boot loaders, networking, and remote debugging.

Preferred qualifications

- SW development experience including data analysis and database querying.
- Developing AI automation tools for testing, debugging, analysis, and code generation.
- Familiarity with statistical process and process capability assessment (Cp/Cpk).
- Knowledge of high-speed interfaces (DDR, PCIe, Ethernet) and protocols.
- Familiarity with server architecture, design, and integration in leading industrial companies.
