Job description

Job ID: 2865497 | Amazon Kuiper Manufacturing Enterprises LLC

Kuiper Production team FPGA Verification engineer. Creating & Maintaining verification environments and test suites for FPGA based subsystems.

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.

Must be able to work out of the office 5 days a week.

Key job responsibilities

Verify FPGA solutions to support Amazon Project Kuiper’s satellite communication system. This is a unique opportunity to contribute to a groundbreaking new system with few legacy constraints. The FPGA verification engineer will work with design and systems teams to define/develop/implement/test/release UVM test environments in order to verify FPGA based solutions to enable Project Kuiper. This will focus on verifying digital designs for networking functions using the latest simulation-based verification processes and tools.

In this role you will:

1. Assist with the planning, architecture, development, and use of configurable, self-checking testbenches implemented in System Verilog/UVM
2. Develop constrained-random, metric-driven test plans and strategies to verify FPGAs performing signal processing and control functions
3. Collect and analyze coverage metrics, then use that information to improve the effectiveness of testcases
4. Enhance your leadership skills while contributing to a dynamic DV team
5. Create reusable Verification IP to be shared across the organization
6. Support implementing upgrades to our process and methodologies
7. Enhance your DV skills as well as your knowledge of Networking while working with subject matter experts
8. Mentor junior engineers
9. Participate in the development and deployment of networking and satellite bus FPGAs

A day in the life

As a Kuiper Production team FPGA verification engineer, you will create UVM verification simulation solutions. You will work with FPGA design and systems teams to define and create UVM based simulation test environments intended to characterize and prove out functionality of FPGA designs qualifying them for release to enable Project Kuiper. This will focus on creating FPGA verification environments and test suites using the latest verification flows, processes, and tools.
