About the team
Bespoke Solutions
We develop AWS-owned hardware solutions to scale globally, minimize cost, and maximize value for our customers. We are a growing team of hardware, software, and FPGA engineers with a dedicated product development lab in Arlington, VA. We have builders working in Baltimore MD, and Denver CO.
Why AWS
Amazon Web Services (AWS) is the world's most comprehensive and broadly adopted cloud platform. We pioneered cloud computing and never stopped innovating - that's why customers from the most successful startups to Global 500 companies trust our robust suite of products and services to power their businesses.
Utility Computing (UC)
AWS Utility Computing (UC) provides product innovations - from foundational services such as Amazon's Simple Storage Service (S3) and Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2), to consistently released new product innovations that continue to set AWS's services and features apart in the industry. As a member of the UC organization, you'll support the development and management of Compute, Database, Storage, Internet of Things (IoT), Platform, and Productivity Apps services in AWS, including support for customers who require specialized security solutions for their cloud services.
Inclusive Team Culture
Here at AWS, it's in our nature to learn and be curious. Our employee-led affinity groups foster a culture of inclusion that empower us to be proud of our differences. Ongoing events and learning experiences, including our Conversations on Race and Ethnicity (CORE) and AmazeCon conferences, inspire us to never stop embracing our uniqueness.
Work/Life Balance
We value work-life harmony. Achieving success at work should never come at the expense of sacrifices at home, which is why we strive for flexibility as part of our working culture. When we feel supported in the workplace and at home, there's nothing we can't achieve in the cloud.
Mentorship and Career Growth

If your career is just starting, hasn't followed a traditional path, or includes alternative experiences, don't let it stop you from applying.
BASIC QUALIFICATIONS
- 5+ years of working in mechanical engineering or equivalent experience
- 3+ years of experience in thermal design for high-performance computing systems
- Proficiency in 3D CAD software (e.g., SolidWorks, CATIA)
- Experience with thermal simulation tools (e.g., ANSYS, FloTHERM)
- Current, active US Government Security Clearance of TS/SCI or above
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS
- Knowledge of SolidWorks simulation or Ansys Finite Element analysis tools
- Experience with FPGA-based systems and datacenter appliances
