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.

The Role:

Create FPGA solutions to support Amazon Leo's satellite communication system.
This is a unique opportunity to define a ground-breaking new system with few
legacy constraints. The FPGA design engineer will work with systems teams to
define/develop/implement/test/release FPGA based solutions to enable Project
Kuiper. This will focus on creating digital designs for networking functions
using the latest generations of FPGA technologies and modern FPGA design
processes and tools.
