About this role
Amazon Leo is an initiative to launch a constellation of Low Earth Orbit satellites that will provide low-latency, high-speed broadband connectivity to unserved and underserved communities around the world.
In this role you will
. Engage with modem system teams to translate system-level requirements into hardware specifications and RTL implementation.
- Collaborate with system architects on SoC subsystem integration, including IP block configuration, instantiation, and interface validation.
- Support synthesis, static timing analysis (STA), and timing closure activities to meet performance and power targets.
- Contribute to low-power design implementation and verification, including power domain definition and UPF/CPF development.
- Work with verification, physical design, and firmware teams to ensure design quality and first-time-right silicon.
- Develop and maintain comprehensive gate-level simulation test plans for verifying ASIC functionality and timing. Analyze simulation results, identify and debug logic errors, and propose solutions. . Work closely with design and verification engineers to validate fixes and ensure design closure.
- Develop AI-assisted Design Automation/Debug skills for various aspects of SoC development.
