TL;DR · IC Packaging Design Engineer

IC Packaging Design Engineer, Amazon Leo will join the Amazon Leo team to design innovative product solutions for a constellation of Low Earth Orbit satellites providing broadband connectivity. Working with a cross-disciplinary staff and third-party suppliers, you will design packages for mm-wave beamforming SoCs and front-end modules, focusing on power-optimized solutions. Daily responsibilities include defining floorplans, bump maps, and ball maps, as well as selecting materials and performing thermal testing. You will utilize tools like HFSS and Momentum to run 3D electromagnetic simulations and perform signal integrity checks for package types including FCBGA, FCCSP, WLCSP, and QFN. The role requires expertise in RF fundamentals, power integrity, and high-speed routing while implementing AI-driven workflows to accelerate design iterations and optimize performance for high-volume production.

What you'll do

  • Define floorplans, bump maps, and ball maps for beamforming ICs with digital and RF chip designers.
  • Select package materials, stack-ups, and options while coordinating with vendors on thermal testing.
  • Complete layouts for various package types including FCBGA, FCCSP, WLCSP, and QFN.
  • Run 3D electromagnetic simulations using HFSS and Momentum to verify package and PCB designs.
  • Perform signal integrity checks and create package models to identify crosstalk and coupling issues.
  • Run thermal simulations for packages and PCBs in coordination with the thermal team.
  • Design and layout test and application PCBs for packages with the Antenna and EE teams.
  • Implement AI-driven workflows and automation to accelerate packaging design iterations and optimize performance.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field.
  • 5+ years of experience in RF design, preferably in an advanced node.
  • Proven track record of products reaching volume production.
  • Experience with RF communication systems.
  • Master's degree in Electrical or Communications Engineering or a related field (preferred).
  • 7+ years of experience designing full-custom packages/PCBs for high performance chips (preferred).
  • U.S. citizen, national, permanent resident, or lawfully admitted refugee/asylee.
  • Export Control Requirement.
