About The Position

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)

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering/Communications Engineering, or experience working in electrical engineering field
• 7+ years of experience in digital design, preferably in communication systems
• Experience with products that have gone to volume production
• Experience in low power design techniques

Nice To Haves

• Master's degree or Ph.D. degree in Electrical Engineering or related field
• 10+ years of experience in digital design, preferably in communication systems
• Familiarity with UVM and Matlab
• Ability to write assertions and exposure to Formal verification
• Strong written and verbal skills
