Senior FPGA Modem & PHY Architect

Amazon; Los Angeles (CA); On-site; USD 159,000 - 248,000; Full time

Job summary

Amazon Kuiper Manufacturing Enterprises LLC is seeking an experienced FPGA Design Engineer to create high-performance FPGA solutions for next-generation modem systems from LEO satellites. You will define, develop, and release FPGA-based signal processing and modem solutions using modern methodologies on ARM/FPGA SoCs.

You will work with systems teams to deliver RTL code, perform timing closure, and validate designs in lab environments to meet ultra-high throughput and low-latency requirements

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree or above in electrical engineering, computer engineering, or equivalent
• Experience with modern ASIC/FPGA design and verification tools
• Experience in RTL coding and debug, as well as performance, power, area analysis and trade-offs
• 7+ years of experience in FPGA design and implementation using System Verilog/Verilog/VHDL.

Responsibilities

• End-to-End RTL Development: Create and release RTL code through the full development lifecycle: system architecture definition, RTL design, physical implementation, timing closure, and simulation validation.
• System Integration: Collaborate with Digital Communications and RF system architects to implement complex logic functions such as signal detection and synchronization, channel coding (LDPC/Polar), beamforming, or massive MIMO processing.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work with HW, FW, and SW teams to bring up and test integrated systems combining FPGA, RF front-ends, and networking stacks.
• Architectural Trade-offs: Drive trade-off analysis to optimize FPGA resources for cost, size, power, and performance to meet stringent 5G latency and throughput requirements.
• Validation: Conduct lab-based silicon validation using high-speed signal generators and analyzers to ensure modem performance meets throughput and reliability metrics
