Senior ASIC Design Engineer, Amazon Leo

Amazon Leo is an initiative to launch a constellation of Low Earth Orbit satellites that will provide low-latency, high-speed broadband connectivity to unserved and underserved communities around the world.

The Role

Be part of Amazon Leo’s sub-team responsible for defining and implementing the digital chip SOCs for communications via Low Earth Orbit satellites and Amazon gateways. This is a unique opportunity to define a groundbreaking wireless solution with few legacy constraints. The team works with customer requirements and wireless system teams to define modems, high-speed interfaces, embedded processors, and DSP solutions in latest CMOS generation technologies.

In this role you will

• Implement wireless system architecture in silicon from system specification to chip specification to RTL to optimizing timing / power to chip level validation
• Develop solutions optimizing customer experience (throughput, latency, and availability) while meeting power and cost constraints
• Drive high quality designs for first-time right silicon solutions, and meeting the power objectives
• Create standalone verification test bench to verify the correctness of your block
• Work with the verification team and participate in System level verification using test benches constructed using UVM, System C and DPI-C
• Ensure that the block meets DFT, timing and power targets by working closely with the implementation team
• Learn about requirements and solutions for systems operating in space
• Drive trade-off analysis to benefit customer experience and optimization of resources (costs, power, spectrum)
