Senior RTL Design Engineer, Hardware Compute Group

Senior RTL Design Engineer, Hardware Compute GroupAmazon 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 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.Design world class hardware and softwareCommunicate and work with team members across multiple disciplinesDevelop detailed design specifications and documentationPerform RTL coding and synthesisWork with Partners/Supplier to optimize and customize their productsRun industry standard code quality tools and fix issues found by themParticipate in test plan and coverage reviewsYou 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. 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 QualificationsMaster's degree in Electrical/Computer Engineering or related field7+ years of RTL development experience with a record of taping out production siliconExperience with design development using Verilog/SystemVerilogExperience in defining micro‑architecture from architecture guideline and model analysisExperience in performance/power/area analysis and trade-offsProficient in design methodologies and EDA toolsExperience working with Synthesis, timing closure, and design constraintsExcellent problem‑solving and debugging skillsAbility to work collaboratively in a team environment and communicate technical ideas effectivelyPreferred QualificationsPhD in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or related fieldExperience with design of video/graphics pipeline and image processing algorithmsFamiliarity with display panel and display driver IC technologiesExperience with ARM and various DSP ISAExperience debugging system‑level issuesExperience in entire design flow from architecture to final siliconGood programming skills in C/C++ and scripting skills in Python, Tcl, and/or Perl10 years or more of practical experienceExperience with wide variety of low power design techniquesExperience with high performance industry standard buses like AMBA AXI4Experience in integrating third‑party IP blocks, building top‑level modules, defining clock domains and power domainsLarge breadth of knowledge from architecture through physical designKnowledge of FPGA and emulation platformsKnowledge of SoC architectureExcellent verbal and written communication skillsOur inclusive culture empowers Amazonians to deliver the best results for our customers.
