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 or a related field
7+ years of digital design in communication systems experience
