DESCRIPTION
AWS Infrastructure Services owns the design, planning, delivery, and operation of all AWS global infrastructure. In other words, we’re the people who keep the cloud running. We support all AWS data centers and all of the servers, storage, networking, power, and cooling equipment that ensure our customers have continual access to the innovation they rely on. We work on the most challenging problems, with thousands of variables impacting the supply chain — and we’re looking for talented people who want to help.
You’ll join a diverse team of software, hardware, and network engineers, supply chain specialists, security experts, operations managers, and other vital roles. You’ll collaborate with people across AWS to help us deliver the highest standards for safety and security while providing seemingly infinite capacity at the lowest possible cost for our customers. And you’ll experience an inclusive culture that welcomes bold ideas and empowers you to own them to completion.
Key job responsibilities
The AWS Rack Power team is driving rapid innovation in the power systems used by Amazon Web Services. Our designs are fundamentally changing the data center, providing operational and financial benefits that are critical to the success of the AWS business and its millions of customers. We design and build power equipment used by Amazon.com and AWS services such as EC2, EBS, S3, Glacier, and Outpost. Our engineers solve challenging technology problems, and take big bets on new concepts, enabling AWS services to continue to revolutionize the industry.
A day in the life
What you will do: As a member of the Power Engineering team you will own the source code for firmware running the power electronics for our next generation datacenter hardware. You’ll provide leadership in the application of new technologies to enable large scale server deployments in a continuous effort to deliver a world-class customer experience. You will be a firmware subject matter expert in an engineering team responsible for both new product development as well as product sustaining and support. You will write, test, debug and ensure the control of firmware across a global fleet of equipment and delight our customers while doing it. This is a fast-paced, intellectually challenging position, and you’ll work with thought leaders in multiple technology areas. You’ll have high standards for yourself and everyone you work with, and you’ll be constantly looking for ways to improve your products performance, quality and cost. We’re changing an industry, and we want individuals who are ready for this challenge and want to reach beyond what is possible today.

Entry Level Firmware Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get an entry level firmware job?
Focus on building hands-on experience through personal projects, coursework labs, or internships involving embedded systems, microcontrollers, or real-time operating systems. Employers at this level look for candidates who can demonstrate practical C or C++ skills, familiarity with debugging tools, and an understanding of hardware-software interaction. A GitHub portfolio showing working firmware projects gives you a concrete edge over candidates with no demonstrated output.
Which companies hire entry level firmwares?
Companies hiring entry level firmwares right now include Brady Corporation, Google, and Qualcomm, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of July 2026. Hiring at this level covers consumer electronics manufacturers, automotive suppliers, defense contractors, and semiconductor companies, many of which run structured new-hire programs designed to onboard candidates directly from university or bootcamp backgrounds.
Are there remote entry level firmware jobs?
Yes, though on-site and hybrid roles make up the majority at this experience level. About 0% of entry level firmware openings are remote or hybrid as of July 2026, reflecting that many teams prefer new engineers in-person for hands-on hardware access and mentorship. Searching by location preference on Migrate Mate lets you filter current openings to match your situation.
Are these new grad firmware jobs?
Yes, the listings here include new grad, recent graduate, and junior firmware roles. A posting is new-grad friendly when it welcomes zero to two years of experience, counts internships or co-ops toward the requirement, or explicitly accepts a strong portfolio in place of professional history. Searching for "new grad" or "junior" alongside firmware surfaces these roles directly.
Which industries hire the most entry level firmwares?
Entry level firmware roles concentrate in Technology & Software, Electronics & Hardware, and Manufacturing, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of July 2026. These sectors drive entry level hiring because they depend heavily on embedded software for product development cycles, creating consistent demand for junior engineers who can write, test, and debug firmware close to the hardware layer.
