Project Kuiper is an initiative to launch a constellation of Low Earth Orbit satellites that will provide low-latency, high-speed broadband connectivity to unserved and underserved communities around the world.

Key job responsibilities
- SoC Architecture: Define and realize world class silicon architecture involving high speed SERDES, Ethernet, DRAM interface, compute cores, interconnects, complex custom IPs with focus on performance, power and area.
- Facilitate seamless integration across Firmware, RTL, Platform Software, and Platform Drivers.
- Develop Debug tools: RTL Emulation, silicon bring-up, and functional validation.

Export Control Requirement:
Due to applicable export control laws and regulations, candidates must be a U.S. citizen or national, U.S. permanent resident (i.e., current Green Card holder), or lawfully admitted into the U.S. as a refugee or granted asylum.


A day in the life
Be part of Project Kuiper’s sub-team responsible for defining and implementing the digital chip SOCs for communications via Low Earth Orbit satellites and Amazon gateways. This is a unique opportunity to define a groundbreaking wireless solution with few legacy constraints. The team works with customer requirements and wireless system teams to define modems, high-speed interfaces, embedded processors, and DSP solutions in latest CMOS generation technologies.

In this role you will:
- Work closely with the system architects to define and architect world-class SoC and IP blocks, which meet power, area and performance targets.
- Define compute architecture for wireless protocol stack and packet processing.
- Develop performance model to evaluate the architecture.
- Work with Design and Verification teams to realize the architecture.
- Contribute to the SoC floor planning and physical design effort.
- Assist with SoC debug and bring-up.


About the team
Be part of a growing Silicon development organization within Project Kuiper. We provide custom ASIC solution to enable Project Kuiper to provide connectivity and performance to under-served areas with high speed broadband access. Be part of the Kuiper Silicon Team that creates foundation for the high speed internet access. As part of this team, you will be pushing boundaries of technology nodes and driving significant innovation to meet ambitious targets set forth by Project Kuiper.
