TL;DR · FPGA Engineer

As an FPGA engineer on the Leo Government Solutions team at Amazon, you will contribute to Project Kuiper by creating and releasing FPGAs through various development phases, from architecture design to simulation validation. You will collaborate with RF and optical communications teams to define and implement digital logic functions in FPGA technology, using Verilog or SystemVerilog for RTL coding and Xilinx Vivado for implementation. Your responsibilities include writing testbenches, performing simulations, and debugging in a lab environment while working closely with system architects and firmware/software design teams to validate systems combining FPGA gateware and networking functions. This role requires proficiency in Linux scripting and familiarity with interface protocols like PCIe or DDR, as well as experience with formal verification techniques for optimizing cost, size, power, performance, and features.

What you'll do

  • Design and implement FPGA solutions for high-speed communication links.
  • Develop and validate digital logic functions in collaboration with system architects.
  • Perform simulation, timing closure, and debugging of RTL code in a lab environment.
  • Integrate new IP cores into existing designs using FPGA design tools like Vivado.
  • Conduct trade-off analysis to optimize technology resources for cost and performance.
  • Collaborate on bringing up and testing systems combining FPGA gateware with firmware.

What we're looking for

  • 5+ years of experience developing FPGA RTL code in System Verilog or VHDL.
  • Proficiency in Verilog, SystemVerilog, or VHDL and experience with Xilinx Vivado or Microchip Libero.
  • Strong debugging skills to identify bugs in architecture, algorithms, functionality, and performance.
  • Experience verifying logic at multiple levels from IP blocks to SoCs to full system testing.
  • Collaborative work experience with systems architects, hardware engineering design teams, and firmware/software design teams.
