Job Description
Description Amazon's Low Earth Orbit (LEO) initiative is building next-generation satellite communication systems to deliver high-speed broadband connectivity globally. Our silicon group develops cutting-edge FPGA prototypes and ASIC designs for advanced satellite communication systems.
Position Overview:
We are seeking an experienced FPGA Engineer to join our LEO silicon team. This role will contribute to the design, development, and verification of FPGA-based prototypes for our satellite communication systems, including transmit (Tx) and receive (Rx) signal processing chains.Key Responsibilities:
- Work on FPGA design and implementation for complex digital signal processing systems in satellite communication applications
- Drive FPGA projects through the complete product development lifecycle from architecture to production
- Design, implement, and optimize DSP algorithms on FPGA platforms
- Perform hands-on lab work including hardware bring-up, debugging, and validation
- Collaborate with ASIC design teams to support RTL development and verification
- Mentor junior engineers and provide technical leadership on FPGA best practices
- Work with cross-functional teams including system architects, software engineers, and hardware engineers
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.
