Amazon; Redmond (WA); On-site; USD 136,000 - 184,000; Full time

Job summary

Amazon in Redmond, WA is seeking a Hardware Engineer, High Speed Digital Engineer to own high-speed interfaces (DDR, Ethernet, SerDes) for next-generation terminals. You will drive component selection, schematic design, SI validation, and collaborate across hardware, silicon, and systems teams.

The role requires a Bachelor's in Electrical Engineering, 3+ years in high-speed digital design or SI, and CAD tools such as Orcad and Allegro. Base salary 136k–184k USD, full benefits and RSUs.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or related field.
• 3+ years of experience in high-speed digital interface design and/or Signal Integrity simulation/validation.
• Knowledge of CAD software like Orcad and Allegro.

Responsibilities

• Select and qualify high-speed interface components balancing performance, cost, availability, and manufacturability
• Own schematic capture for high-speed digital subsystems — define net topologies, termination schemes, and interface pin assignments in collaboration with PCB layout engineers
• Own signal integrity analysis for high-speed interfaces (DDR, PCIe, Ethernet, USB, MIPI) from architecture through production, including simulation, design rule development, lab validation, and correlation
• Perform channel modeling and simulation using EM tools to verify interconnect performance meets silicon requirements
• Participate in schematic and layout design reviews, providing signal and power integrity feedback to ensure designs meet performance and cost targets
• Validate high-speed interfaces in the lab using oscilloscopes, VNAs, TDRs, and high-fidelity probing techniques. Correlate measurements back to simulation models
• Collaborate with silicon, RF, antenna, thermal, mechanical, power, and systems teams to close budgets and solve problems within real-world product constraints
• Support board bring-up, debug, and root-cause analysis of SI/PI-related failures
• Support designs through qualification, production ramp, and high-volume manufacturing
