Job Description
DESCRIPTION
LEO is Amazon’s low Earth orbit satellite broadband network. Its mission is to deliver fast, reliable internet to customers and communities around the world, and we’ve designed the system with the capacity, flexibility, and performance to serve a wide range of customers, from individual households to schools, hospitals, businesses, government agencies, and other organizations operating in locations without reliable connectivity.
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
The Role:
Create FPGA solutions to support LEO's satellite communication system. This is a unique opportunity to define a groundbreaking 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 LEO. This will focus on creating digital designs for networking functions using the latest generations of FPGA technologies and modern FPGA design processes and tools.
In this role you will:
- Have ownership of one or more FPGA bitstreams. - Create and release FPGAs through the development phases of uArchitecture-RTL Design-Physical Implementation-Timing Closure–Simulation Validation– Lab Based Silicon Validation
- Collaborate with network communication system architects to define and design/implement/test/release/support networking functions targeted to FPGA technology
- Collaborate with Digital Communications/Networking system architects and design engineers to implement digital logic functions in FPGAs.
- Collaborate with system architects and design engineers to implement digital logic functions in FPGA prototypes to validate/tradeoff architecture & design alternatives
- Collaborate with systems architects, HW engineering design teams & FW/SW design teams to bring up and test systems combining FPGA, firmware, RF, and Networking functions.
- Drive trade-off analysis to benefit customer experience and optimization of target technology resources for cost/size/power/performance/features
BASIC QUALIFICATIONS
- Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, related discipline, or 7 + years of FPGA experience
- 5+ years experience in FPGA design & implementation
- Experience with System Verliog RTL coding
- Experience in the design, test, delivery, support of multiple FPGAs shipping to customers
- Experience in writing test scripts (Python preferred) to validate FPGA images in HW.
- Experience with Xilinx/AMD (or Altera) FPGAs
- Experience with modern ASIC / FPGA design and verification tools
- Experience with uArchitecture, RTL coding, FPGA optimization for timing & power, simulation, and validation
