Experience Inc. Jobs

Description

The team that built the innovative Silicon IP AZ1 Neural Edge that is powering the latest generation of Echo devices is looking for a Senior SoC Integration Design Engineer to continue to innovate on behalf of our customers. We are a part of Amazon Lab126 that revolutionized reading with our Kindle family of products and reimagined user experience through Echo and Alexa. We want you to help us build on the success of our first generation of ML accelerator at edge.

Work hard. Have Fun. Make history.

In this role, as a Lead SOC Physical Design Engineer, you will be part of the team developing SoCs to be deployed in a range of Amazon devices. You will integrate industry standard and custom hardware IP and subsystems into SoCs to accelerate applications in machine learning, computer vision and robotics. You will work closely with System Architects, SoC architects, IP developers and SoC RTL design teams to develop SoCs that meets the power, performance and area goals for Amazon devices. You will help define the processes, methods and tools for physical design and implementation of large complex SoCs. Develop chip level and subsystem level netlists integrating IPs and new design.

Key job responsibilities

· Own all aspects of physical design implementation through synthesis, formal verification, floor planning, bus / pin planning, power domain implementation, place and route, power/clock distribution, congestion analysis, timing closure, IR drop analysis, physical verification, ECO and sign-off.

· Work with RTL/logic designers to drive architectural feasibility studies, explore power-performance-area tradeoffs for physical design closure at the block and Sub System level.

. Work closely with third party design and fabrication services to deliver quality first pass silicon that meets all performance, power and area goals.

· Contribute to developing physical design methodologies.

. Signoff flows including STA, formal verification, EM/IR, reliability and Physical Verification.

· Be a highly-valued member of our start-up like team through excellent collaboration and teamwork with other physical design engineers as well as with the RTL/Arch. Teams
