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!
As Senior Silicon Validation Engineer you will engage with an experienced crossdisciplinary staff to conceive and design innovative product solutions. Youll be responsible for building maintaining and operating lab bench setups and probestations to enable highvolume production test of mmwave SoCs for Project Kuiper. Lab bench setups will span wafer level and package level setups as well as digital and RF focused setups. Youll also be responsible for writing automation software for some of these setups. Youll work closely with silicon design teams ATE engineers and failure analysis engineers to bringup test characterize and debug complex SoCs. You must be responsive flexible and able to succeed within an open collaborative peer environment.
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
Develop and execute test plans for functional verification and characterization focused both RF feature validation as well as test mode validation for ATPG HTOL etc.
Specify build maintain and operate lab bench setups for mmwave SoC and frontend validation and debug at both the wafer level and package level.
Implement test plans by developing software tests and flows for system validation and verification.
Work with lab bench mmwave test systems to correlate bench and ATE results.
Work throughout the entire project lifecycle from early presilicon planning and test development through endoflife characterization and failure debug.
Enable labbench bringup of silicon ATE test program across multiple SoCs.
Collaborate closely with firmware ATE and reliability engineers reduce test cost and increase reliability of Kuiper custom silicon.
Conduct insystem sparameter signal integrity and power integrity measurements and compare with simulation models.
Construct specialized bench setups to support physical and electrical failure analysis of units returned from ATE qualification or application.
Bachelors degree in electrical/communications engineering or related field.
5 or more years in silicon validation engineering.
5 or more years using Python C/C and C# languages.
Up to 10 international travel required.
Masters or PhD degree in Electrical / Communications Engineering or related field.
Excellent oral and written communications skills.
7 years of handson experience in mmwave SoC validation engineering of communications systems preferably in highvolume consumer devices manufacturing
Experience building and automating bench characterization setups for mmwave SoCs including lab equipment such as VNAs spectrum analyzers logic analyzers oscilloscopes probestations and pattern generators.
Knowledge of Python C/C and C# languages.
Experience working across hardware software firmware and reliability teams to drive test and debug.
Experience supporting debug include physical and electrical failure analysis such as decapsulation SEM CSAM EBIRCH and others.
Knowledge of deembedding techniques such as SOLT TRL and AFR.
Experience working with interfaces such as I3C JTAG and SPI as well as custom protocols.
Familiarity with Digital DfT concept such as ATPG and MBIST and Analog DfT and RFBIST techniques such as loopback.
Knowledgeable in data interpretation/analysis Cp/Cpk and bench/tester correlation.
