Device Lab Engineer

Job description

DESCRIPTION

Prime Video is known for its ground-breaking impact, and in case you think there is nothing more to do, then think again. We are building a new global innovation platform designed to transform how we develop, test, verify and automate against Amazon Video physical devices. We are designing the next generation cloud platform for both physical and virtual Prime Video devices.

We are looking for inventors who want to help us build our data centres for IoT devices. You do not need to know everything, you just need to want to, and bring along a bag of enthusiasm and positivity for the journey. Sign up! Make the impact you always wanted to. Collaboration and passion are essential ingredients for success and you will be surrounded by driven, forward thinking individuals. Be prepared to bring unique and creative ideas to every discussion.

With platform complexity increasing, and exponential increases in the number of customer device types, our ability to test on customer devices has understandably struggled to keep up. With hundreds of devices currently supported, and many more being certified in the future, we are changing how we work with devices to ensure that even at this scale we can assure the exceptional customer experience at all times. Working with devices is a hard engineering problem, due to the fact that they typically share no standard operating system, I/O, installation or debugging tooling. We have to support all of them from the latest Android right through to Smart TVs.

We are looking for builders, inventors and generally awesome engineers. If you see there are no problems, but only solutions yet to be made, then this your role!
