TL;DR · Lead ASIC Design Engineer

As a Lead ASIC Design Engineer at Amazon Kuiper Manufacturing Enterprises LLC in the Alexa and Amazon Devices division, you will lead the RTL design and development of large subsystems and custom blocks for world-class SOC and IP block creation. Your responsibilities include integrating third-party IP cores, configuring connectivity options to fit system requirements, and collaborating with verification teams to ensure comprehensive test plans. You will also support designs through all phases from RTL/Gate simulations to post-silicon implementations, contributing to floor planning efforts and understanding low-power design impacts. This role requires extensive experience in ASIC implementation, synthesis, STA, physical design, digital communication systems, and wireless communications at deep sub-micron nodes (16nm or smaller). Knowledge of serial protocols and low power design techniques is essential, as is the ability to work closely with system architects and verification teams to deliver cutting-edge solutions.

What you'll do

  • Lead RTL design and development of large subsystems and custom blocks.
  • Integrate IP cores by selecting configuration and connectivity options to fit system requirements.
  • Own integration with software as the cognizant designer.
  • Support verification team in developing comprehensive test plans and functional coverage.
  • Perform initial synthesis, timing analysis, and other back-end interface flows for design phases.
  • Assist with debug and bring-up of the SoC post-silicon implementation.

What we're looking for

  • 8+ years of ASIC implementation experience in deep sub-micron nodes (16nm or smaller)
  • Extensive digital design experience in communication systems and wireless communications
  • Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering/Communications Engineering or equivalent experience
  • Expertise in implementing chips with multiple power islands and power gating techniques
  • Knowledge of serial protocols including SPI, I2C, I3C, and UART
  • Experience leading the definition and integration of SoC subsystems like Ethernet, SERDES, LPDDR5/6X, Arm CPU
