SW Automation Engineer , Annapurna
DESCRIPTION
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. Within AWS UC, Amazon Dedicated Cloud (ADC) roles engage with AWS customers who require specialized security solutions for their cloud services.
Annapurna Labs, an Amazon company, plays a significant role in AWS's success with developing Nitro card.
Nitro Cards are dedicated hardware components with powerful 64-bit processing capabilities and specialized Application Specific Integrated Circuits (“ASICs”) that operate independently from the system main board that runs all customer compute environments, including code and data processing operations.
As a Python Software Development Engineer in our team, you will be responsible for the Nitro card software quality.
That includes setting up and maintenance of lab and cloud environments, writing test-plans, automating them and troubleshooting issues.
You will take part in designing, developing, and maintaining our automation frameworks and will work closely with developers to ensure the timely delivery of high-quality Nitro card software to our customers.
As a part of this team, you will solve difficult technical problems, work on test frameworks, test tools, and test case automation for large components. You will build and apply solutions that assess and mitigate quality risks on the Nitro card.

Key job responsibilities
In this highly technical position, the Python Software Engineer will have strong scripting abilities in python to write tests to constantly check the functionality of the Nitro cards' software.
Experience coding in python and testing embedded systems are both key to success.
You are able to function as a significant autonomous contributor, providing consistently high quality work, and maintainable code.
You will apply software testing techniques and assess the testability of components/features built by development teams
