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.
Key job responsibilities
SoC Architecture: Define and realize world class silicon architecture involving high speed SERDES Ethernet DRAM interface compute cores interconnects complex custom IPs with focus on performance power and area.
Facilitate seamless integration across Firmware RTL Platform Software and Platform Drivers.
Develop Debug tools: RTL Emulation silicon bringup and functional validation.
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.
A day in the life
Be part of Project Kuipers subteam responsible for defining and implementing the digital chip SOCs for communications via Low Earth Orbit satellites and Amazon gateways. This is a unique opportunity to define a groundbreaking wireless solution with few legacy constraints. The team works with customer requirements and wireless system teams to define modems highspeed interfaces embedded processors and DSP solutions in latest CMOS generation technologies.
In this role you will:
Work closely with the system architects to define and architect worldclass SoC and IP blocks which meet power area and performance targets.
Define compute architecture for wireless protocol stack and packet processing.
Develop performance model to evaluate the architecture.
Work with Design and Verification teams to realize the architecture.
Contribute to the SoC floor planning and physical design effort.
Assist with SoC debug and bringup.
About the team
Be part of a growing Silicon development organization within Project Kuiper. We provide custom ASIC solution to enable Project Kuiper to provide connectivity and performance to underserved areas with high speed broadband access. Be part of the Kuiper Silicon Team that creates foundation for the high speed internet access. As part of this team you will be pushing boundaries of technology nodes and driving significant innovation to meet ambitious targets set forth by Project Kuiper.
Candidate must have 7 experience in performance architecture across CPUs interconnect high speed network I/O and memory systems in SoCs with emphasis on power efficiency.
Must have experience in ARM and AMBA protocols.
Strong preference for software skills spanning presilicon architectural modeling high level workload characterization and tuning and low level systems programming.
Strong preference for debug skills in pre and postsilicon environments and experience collaborating with architecture design verification and validation teams.
Experience in Linux embedded RTOSs networking and wireless communication systems a plus.
Experience as a mentor tech lead or leading an engineering team
7 years of digital design experience preferably in SoC design and implementation.
Expertise in ARM and/or RISCV CPUs compute architecture for high speed packet processing cache coherent interconnect AMBA protocols Ethernet and DRAM performance.
Masters degree in computer science or equivalent.
