Description
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 under served communities around the world. Innovation is part of our DNA! Our goal is to be Earth's most customer centric company, and we are just getting started. We need people who want to join an ambitious program that continues to push the state of the art in distributed systems and hardware design. As a Sr. FPGA engineer on the Amazon Leo for Government Product Development team you will create FPGA solutions to support Amazon Leo satellite communication system. This is a unique opportunity to define a ground breaking new system with few legacy constraints. You will work with systems and algorithm teams to define/develop/implement/test/release FPGA-based modem solutions to enable Amazon Leo. In particular, your work will power high-speed optical communication links while making use of the latest generations of FPGA technologies, design processes, and tools. You will tackle challenging, novel situations every day and have the opportunity to work with multiple technical teams at Amazon in different locations, partner teams, and end customers. Key job responsibilities - Create and release FPGAs through the development phases of uArchitecture-RTL Design-Physical Implementation-Timing Closure-Simulation Validation- Lab Based Silicon Validation. - Collaborate with RF and Optical Communications and Signal Processing system architects and design engineers to define, design, implement, and test modem and digital logic functions in FPGA technology. - Writing RTL code, developing testbenches, performing simulation and timing closure, and debugging in a laboratory environment. - Proficiency in Verilog, SystemVerilog, or VHDL; experience with Xilinx Vivado or Microchip Libero; proficiency in Linux, scripting (Python/Perl), and interface protocols like PCIe or DDR. - 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, Optics, and Networking functions. - Drive trade-off analysis to benefit customer experience and optimization of target technology resources for cost/size/power/performance/features - Utilize FPGA design tools including Vivado / Vitis with new System Verilog / VHDL RTL code and existing/new IP core integration. The role is located in Northridge, CA, and includes US relocation benefits. Security Clearance: Candidates must be able to obtain and maintain a US Government security clearance of TS/SCI, so you must be a U.S. citizen for consideration.
