AWS Machine Learning servers (TRN and INF) are essentially supercomputers, with both hardware and software built entirely from the ground-up within our organization. We’re looking for someone to lead our SoC (System on Chip) Hardware Abstraction Layer (HAL) team, responsible for directing the team both technically and managerially. You’ll work to understand our in-house SoC and build effective software that abstracts out the details for higher layers of the software stack.You’ll work closely with chip architects, designers, verification engineers, and fellow software engineers to shape our next-generation of Machine Learning acceleration. You’ll effectively manage, coach, and direct your team to execute on this vision alongside you. This is a hands-on, in-the-trenches software engineering leadership position.As the team lead, you will:- Work with hardware designers to write software to boot and manage newly developed SoC IPs
