Amazon Devices is an inventive research and development company that designs and develops high-profile devices like the Kindle family of products, Fire Tablets, Alexa, Fire TV, Health Wellness, Amazon Echo & Astro products. This is an exciting opportunity to join Amazon in contributing to its next generation SOC’s for the machine learning enabled consumer products.

As a HW/Silicon Application Engineer in Silicon Validation team, you will play a pivotal role in driving RCA (Root Cause Analysis) activities for failures pointing to silicon, in development and production phases of products by collaborating with multi-functional teams. You will be responsible for developing, maintaining and supporting tests/framework to debug silicon/SOC issues and drive root cause failure analysis.

Key job responsibilities

• Drive RCA (Root Cause Analysis) activities for failures pointing to silicon, in development and production phases of the product by collaborating with multi-functional teams.

• Develop & Drive qualification activities for peripheral parts like memories & storage based on customer (product team) requirements.

• Support product teams with appropriate design collateral. Update and maintain the design collateral as needed.

• Support product teams by offering timely design reviews from a silicon standpoint.

• Risk Management : Drive containment, risk assessment & mitigation activities related to silicon/hardware failures.

• Craft test strategies for new features, including specifications and validation plans as needed, across (but not limited to) Validation and ATE environments.

Basic Qualifications

• Experience : 7+ years in Silicon/System validation and failure analysis.

• Educational Background : BS or MS in Electrical or Computer Engineering or a related field/equivalent experience.

• System Level Expertise : Experience in system-level debugging, focusing on functional and structural test correlation.

• Technical Knowledge : Exposure to silicon manufacturing, and production testing of chips, boards, and systems.

• Additional Skills : Exposure to digital design, circuit analysis, statistical analysis, firmware, drivers, and diagnostic software applications.

• Soft Skills : Outstanding problem-solving, partnership, and interpersonal abilities. Excellent written and oral communication skills (peer and leadership-facing).

• Analytical Understanding : Basic knowledge of frequency, power, thermal constraints and failure analysis techniques.

Preferred Qualifications

• Deep hands-on technical expertise in automation, executing tests, test frameworks and tools.

• Experience programming with at least one modern language such as Python or C.

• Exposure to ARM based SOC architecture and experience in testing of complex multimedia SOCs.

• Knowledge of DFT architecture, BIST, fault analysis, fault models, and fault detection methods.

• Experience in quality assurance for consumer electronics.
