Lead ASIC Modem Design Engineer, Amazon Leo

About the Role

Be part of 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.

Key Job Responsibilities

• 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).
• Engage with architects and system engineers to drive hardware micro-architecture.
• 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.

Basic Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical/Communications Engineering, or experience working in electrical engineering field.
• 7+ years of experience in digital logic design, preferably in DSP or communication systems.
• Experience in designing and implementing Digital Signal Processing (DSP) algorithms and systems in RTL.
• Ability to convert DSP algorithms into RTL code and optimize for performance, power, and area.

Preferred Qualifications

• Master's or Ph.D degree in Electrical / Communications Engineering.
• 7+ years of experience in digital design, preferably in communication systems.
• Familiarity with UVM and Matlab.
• Ability to write assertions and exposure to Formal verification.
