Design Verification Engineer, Leo Payload FPGA

Job description

Leo Production team FPGA Verification engineer. Creating & Maintaining verification environments and test suites for FPGA based subsystems.

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.

Must be able to work out of the office 5 days a week.

Key job responsibilities

Verify FPGA solutions to support Amazon Project Leo's satellite communication system. This is a unique opportunity to contribute to a groundbreaking new system with few legacy constraints. The FPGA verification engineer will work with design and systems teams to define/develop/implement/test/release UVM test environments in order to verify FPGA based solutions to enable Project Leo. This will focus on verifying digital designs for networking functions using the latest simulation-based verification processes and tools.

In this role you will:

• Assist with the planning, architecture, development, and use of configurable, self-checking testbenches implemented in System Verilog/UVM
• Develop constrained-random, metric-driven test plans and strategies to verify FPGAs performing signal processing and control functions
• Collect and analyze coverage metrics, then use that information to improve the effectiveness of testcases;
• Enhance your leadership skills while contributing to a dynamic DV team
• Create reusable Verification IP to be shared across the organization;
• Support implementing upgrades to our process and methodologies.
• Enhance your DV skills as well as your knowledge of Networking while working with subject matter experts;
• Mentor junior engineers
• Participate in the development and deployment of networking and satellite bus FPGAs
