Senior RTL Design Engineer Hardware Compute Group

Amazon Lab126 is an inventive research and development company that designs and engineers highprofile consumer electronics. Lab126 began in 2004 as a subsidiary of Inc. originally creating the bestselling Kindle family of products. Since then we have produced groundbreaking devices like Fire tablets Fire TV and Amazon Echo. What will you help us create

The Role:
As a Senior RTL Design Engineer you will be part of an advanced architecture team that is exploring new hardware designs to improve our devices. In this role you will be responsible for defining the microarchitecture and implementing the corresponding RTL for advanced functional blocks. You will participate in the design verification and bringup of such blocks by writing relevant assertions debugging code test benches test harnesses and otherwise interacting with the extended team. You will participate in the lab bringup of these blocks either in an FPGA or silicon by potentially writing test scripts analyzing lab data proposing experiments etc.

You will work closely with multidisciplinary groups including Product Design Audio Technology Computer Vision Hardware Engineering and Software Engineering to architect and implement complex functional block that enable development of worldclass hardware devices. In this role you will:

Design world class hardware and software
Communicate and work with team members across multiple disciplines
Develop detailed design specifications and documentation
Perform RTL coding and synthesis
Work with Partners/Supplier to optimize and customize their products
Run industry standard code quality tools and fix issues found by them
Participate in test plan and coverage reviews

The ideal candidate should have experience with RTL development environments fluency in modern hardware description languages. They should have developed complex IP blocks from scratch that have successfully been integrated in SOCs or other such silicon that have been productized in consumer devices. They should be familiar with modern SoC architectures various interconnect topologies such as AMBA AXI APB AHB and implementations. Experience with I/O interfaces such as SPI I2C I2S PDM and MIPI CSI/DSI/Slimbus/Soundwire is
preferred. Experience with memory instantiation and memory compilers is also preferred. We are looking for a selfdriven individual who can work with architects HW and SW developers and can quickly resolve blocking issues.

If you have the required skills and experience we encourage you to apply for this exciting opportunity to join our growing hardware design team.
