San Diego, United States Amazon Full time

Job ID: 2734715 | Amazon Kuiper Manufacturing Enterprises LLC

Project Kuiper 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.

We're hiring a Modem Engineer within a high performance ASIC design team. This team is using industry leading methodologies to develop proprietary IPs.

The Role:

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

Due to applicable export control laws and regulations, candidates must be a U.S. citizen or national, U.S. permanent resident (i.e., current Green Card holder), or lawfully admitted into the U.S. as a refugee or granted asylum.

Key job responsibilities:
  1. Engage with architects and system engineers to drive hardware micro-architecture.
  2. Able to interpret reference models in MATLAB.
  3. Involve in control plane logic design and interfaces to bus fabrics.
  4. Explore and propose innovative ideas and work towards optimization of the modem.
BASIC QUALIFICATIONS
  • Bachelor's degree in Electrical / Communications Engineering or related field, or equivalent experience.
  • 5+ years of experience in digital logic design, preferably in DSP or communication systems.
  • Experience in designing and implementing Digital Signal Processing (DSP) algorithms and systems in RTL.
  • Ability to convert DSP algorithms into RTL code and optimize for performance, power, and area.
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS
  • Master's or Ph.D degree in Electrical / Communications Engineering.
  • 7+ years of experience in digital design, preferably in communication systems.
  • Familiarity with UVM and Matlab.
  • Ability to write assertions and exposure to Formal verification.
