Sr. Physical Design Engineer, Amazon Leo joins the sub-team responsible for defining and implementing digital chip SOCs for communications via Low Earth Orbit satellites and Amazon gateways. This role involves driving IO and core block physical implementation through synthesis, floor planning, bus and pin planning, place and route, power and clock distribution, congestion analysis, timing closure, IR drop analysis, physical verification, ECO, and sign-off. The engineer will work with RTL and logic designers on architectural feasibility studies, power-performance-area tradeoffs, and developing physical design methodologies using AI flows. Key technical requirements include experience with ASIC implementation, STA, DFT, and P&R for deep sub-micron nodes, as well as UPF flow for low power design. The work focuses on defining modems, high-speed interfaces, embedded processors, and DSP solutions in latest CMOS generation technologies.
