Sr. Implementation Engineer, Amazon Leo

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: • As the implementation engineer you will work with the ASIC design team to develop the chip power intent using UPF• As the implementation lead you will work with the ASIC design team to validate UPF at RTL and netlist level using industry standard tools• As the implementation lead you will set up the flow for both logic and physical synthesis flow for various technology nodes. • Develop implementation methodologies while embracing AI flow. • Work with the ASIC design and DFT teams to understand the design and create timing constraints. • Check the RTL design for clean synthesis run, perform STA and LEC on netlist. • Work with RFIC teams to make sure the top level integration of analog blocks are done properly and correct by construction, including formal connectivity checks. • Work with P&R teams to ensure a smooth hand off of netlists, ensure the timely execution of the P&R responsibilities by that team. • Participate in flow reviews of all the blocks with the P&R team to ensure that they achieve the best PPA for all blocks. • Lead the timing sign-off for the post P&R database. • Ensure that the chip meets the required DFM criteria by verifying the IR/EM results.
