Your responsibilities include leading the design of real-time embedded systems and programmable logic for next-generation antenna systems, designing software for high-volume phased array manufacturing, and developing calibration tools for on-orbit applications. You will also characterize subsystems related to antennas and create automation for 2D and 3D structures. The role requires expertise in FPGA design using System Verilog, experience with Xilinx/AMD FPGAs, and proficiency in programming languages such as C++, Python, and Golang. This position is integral to Amazon's mission of enhancing global broadband access through innovative satellite technology.

What you'll do

  • Lead the design and implementation of complex real-time embedded systems.
  • Design software for high-volume phased array manufacturing processes.
  • Develop calibration software for satellite on-orbit applications.
  • Characterize subsystems and systems related to advanced antennas.
  • Create automation tools for 2D and 3D structures in manufacturing.

What we're looking for

  • 5+ years of experience in FPGA design and implementation using System Verilog.
  • Experience with Xilinx/AMD (or Altera) FPGAs and uArchitecture, RTL coding.
  • At least 5 years of programming experience in modern languages like C++, Python.
  • Experience writing test scripts for validating FPGA images on hardware.
  • Collaborative work with system architects and RF/Digital Communications engineers.
