Project Kuiper is Amazon's ambitious initiative to create a constellation of Low Earth Orbit satellites, aimed at providing high-speed broadband connectivity to underserved communities worldwide. This role presents an exciting opportunity to join the digital chip SOCs sub-team, where you'll be instrumental in defining and implementing communications solutions between Low Earth Orbit satellites and Amazon gateways.
As a Design Verification Engineer, you'll be working at the cutting edge of wireless technology, with minimal legacy constraints to hold back innovation. The position involves close collaboration with customer requirements and wireless system teams to define various components including modems, high-speed interfaces, embedded processors, and DSP solutions using the latest CMOS generation technologies.
Your responsibilities will span across implementing sophisticated verification environments, developing comprehensive test plans, and ensuring the functional correctness of complex blocks through formal verification. You'll be working with state-of-the-art tools and technologies, including UVM, SystemC, and DPI-C, to create robust testing environments.
The role offers competitive compensation ranging from $104,000 to $212,200 per year, depending on location and experience, plus additional benefits. This is a unique opportunity to be part of a groundbreaking project that combines advanced satellite technology with practical applications to serve communities globally.
The position requires strong technical expertise in verification systems, particularly in communication systems, along with proficiency in UVM, C, and scripting. A background in Electrical/Communications Engineering or Computer Science is essential, and experience with Matlab and modem design verification would be advantageous.
Due to export control regulations, candidates must be U.S. citizens, permanent residents, or have legal refugee/asylee status. The role offers the chance to work with cutting-edge technology while contributing to a project with significant social impact, making it an ideal opportunity for someone passionate about both technical innovation and meaningful global change.
