Lead ASIC Implementation Engineer for LEO Satellite Systems

Amazon; San Diego (CA); On-site; USD 159,000 - 215,000; Full time

Job summary

Amazon Kuiper Manufacturing Enterprises LLC is seeking an experienced ASIC implementation lead in San Diego, CA. You will define and implement chip power intent (UPF), validate UPF at RTL/netlist, and establish robust logic and physical synthesis flows for advanced sub‑micron nodes.

You will drive AI-enabled implementation methodologies and coordinate with design, DFT, RFIC, and P&R teams to meet performance targets.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or related field.
• 7+ years of experience in ASIC implementation, i.e., synthesis, STA and working with P&R for deep sub-micron nodes, preferably 16nm or smaller.
• Experience leading or solely developing the methodology and scripts for physical synthesis. Proven track record in taping out chips that have gone into high volume production.
• Familiar with implementing chips that have multiple power islands and power gating.

Responsibilities

• As the implementation lead 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 ensure proper top-level integration of analog blocks by construction with formal connectivity checks.
• Collaborate with P&R teams to ensure smooth handoff of netlists and timely P&R execution.
• Participate in flow reviews to achieve best PPA for all blocks and lead timing sign-off after P&R.
