TL;DR · Senior Physical Design Engineer

As a Sr. Physical Design Engineer on the Amazon Leo team, you will contribute to developing digital chip SOCs for satellite communications and gateways. You will work with RTL and logic designers to conduct architectural feasibility studies, exploring power-performance-area tradeoffs for physical design closure. Your daily responsibilities include driving IO and core block 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, and ECO sign-off. You will also develop physical design methodologies using AI flows and evaluate third-party IP. The role requires expertise in ASIC implementation for deep sub-micron nodes, UPF flow for low power design, and integrating RF/Analog/Mixed signal blocks into digital top flows within the latest CMOS generation technologies.

What you'll do

  • Conduct architectural feasibility studies and analyze power-performance-area tradeoffs for physical design closure.
  • Execute full physical implementation including synthesis, floor planning, placement, routing, and timing closure.
  • Perform power/clock distribution, congestion analysis, IR drop analysis, and physical verification.
  • Develop new physical design methodologies while integrating AI-driven workflows.
  • Evaluate third-party IP and provide technical recommendations for integration.
  • Integrate RF, analog, and mixed-signal blocks into digital top flows.
  • Implement low-power designs using UPF flow for advanced CMOS technologies.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or Electrical Engineering.
  • Master's degree in Electrical or Communications Engineering or a related field.
  • 7+ years of experience in ASIC implementation including synthesis, STA, DFT, and P&R for deep sub-micron nodes.
  • 10+ years of experience in ASIC implementation.
  • Must be a U.S. citizen, national, permanent resident, or granted asylum/refugee status due to export control laws.
  • Experience using managed ML/AI solutions.
  • Experience integrating RF/Analog/Mixed signal blocks with digital top flows.
  • Strong exposure to UPF flow for low power design.
