Job Description
Project Kuiper is an initiative to launch a constellation of Low Earth Orbit satellites that will provide lowlatency highspeed broadband connectivity to unserved and underserved communities around the world.
Come work at Amazon!
The Role:
As Senior Silicon ATE Hardware Engineer you will engage with an experienced crossdisciplinary staff to conceive design and scale innovative semiconductor product manufacturing solutions for Kuipers custom RF SoC silicon. You will work closely with internal interdisciplinary teams and thirdparty suppliers to drive key aspects of reliability quality and test system definition design and deployment. You must be responsive flexible and able to succeed within an open collaborative peer environment.
Youll be responsible for designing and simulating mmwave hardware for highvolume production test of Project Kuiper custom silicon. Youll be part of the team that creates a chip and system test infrastructure and methodology applicable to transmit and receive communication systems.
Export Control Requirement:
Due to applicable export control laws and regulations candidates must be a U.S. citizen or national U.S. permanent resident (i.e. current Green Card holder) or lawfully admitted into the U.S. as a refugee or granted asylum.
Key job responsibilities
Create schematics for finaltest load boards and wafer sort probe cards.
Interpret test plans for mmwave SoCs and design hardware solutions for mmwave RF pins highspeed SERDES up to 112G and highspeed digital logic.
Decide on tester instrument configuration to optimize for test coverage and cost across multiple products.
Simulate load board layout components sockets and packages to validate RF signal integrity.
Design PCB features such as stackups tlines via transitions socket transitions etc. for optimized return loss.
Perform power integrity and signal integrity simulations for highspeed SERDES and digital SoCs.
Work with lab bench mmwave test systems to measure fabricated hardware performance and correlate with simulation results.
Interact with suppliers and OSATs to complete hardware design component selection and fabrication.
Bachelors degree in electrical/communications engineering or related field.
7 years in silicon test hardware design.
Up to 10 international travel required.
Masters or PhD degree in Electrical / Communications Engineering or related field.
Excellent oral and written communications skills.
10 years in mmwave or RF silicon engineering for communications systems preferably in highvolume consumer devices manufacturing
Strong technical background in one or more of the following:
Design schematic capture and layout for highfrequency PCBs.
3D/2D EM simulation tools and transmission line theory.
RF components like inductors capacitors splitters/combiners filters and bias tees.
Familiarity with deembedding techniques such as SOLT AFR and TRL.
Experience conducting power and signal integrity simulations for large SoCs.
RF test equipment such as network analyzers TDR electronic loads and oscilloscopes.
Load board design for Teradyne UltraFlex testers and Advantest 93k.
Production control processes statistical analysis platforms (Galaxy JMP or similar) data interpretation/analysis Cp/Cpk and bench/tester correlation.
