Job Details
Project Kuiper Modem Design Engineer
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. Come work at Amazon! We're hiring a Modem Design Engineer within a high performance ASIC design team. This team is using industry leading methodologies to develop proprietary IP's.
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 state-of-the-art 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 System Verilog, UVM, System C and/or 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).
- Engage with architects and system engineers to drive hardware micro-architecture and datapath design.
- Able to interpret reference models in MATLAB.
- Involve in control plane logic design and interfaces to bus fabrics.
- Explore and propose innovative ideas and work towards optimization of the modem.
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.
