Sr. RTL Design Engineer, Hardware Compute Group

Amazon Lab126 is an inventive research and development company that designs and engineers high-profile consumer electronics. Lab126 began in 2004 as a subsidiary of Amazon.com, Inc., originally creating the best-selling 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 micro-architecture and implementing the corresponding RTL for advanced functional blocks. You will participate in the design verification and bring-up 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 bring-up 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 multi-disciplinary groups including Product Design, Audio Technology, Computer Vision, Hardware Engineering, and Software Engineering, to architect and implement complex functional block that enable development of world-class 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 self-driven 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.BASIC QUALIFICATIONS- Master's degree in Electrical/Computer Engineering or related field - 5+ years of RTL development experience with a record of taping out production silicon- Experience with design development using Verilog/SystemVerilog- Experience in defining micro-architecture from architecture guideline and model analysis.- Experience in performance/power/area analysis and trade-offs- Proficient in design methodologies and EDA tools - Experience working with Synthesis, timing closure, and design constraints- Excellent problem-solving and debugging skills- Ability to work collaboratively in a team environment and communicate technical ideas effectively ...
