Sr. DSP and Wireless Systems Engineer, Digital RF Systems
Amazon, Redmond, Washington, United States, 98052
Sr. DSP and Wireless Systems Engineer, Digital RF Systems
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. Come work at Amazon!
Overview As a Sr. DSP and Wireless Systems Engineer working in the Digital RF Systems team, you will be responsible for DSP architecture definition, design and simulation of DSP blocks in wireless communication SOCs that are used in Kuiper phased array systems. You will be implementing end-to-end system models including fixed point DSP blocks, RF impairments of the radio, phased array antenna and satellite channel. You will be involved in novel techniques to estimate and correct RF impairments that will be implemented in HW and FW. Based on the system level constraints such as low power and cost, you will develop optimized solutions to support high throughput for our customers.
As a Sr. DSP Engineer, you will engage with an experienced cross-disciplinary staff to conceive and design innovative product solutions. You will work closely with internal inter-disciplinary teams such as ASIC/RFIC designers, FW/SW engineers, design verification engineers. You will drive key aspects of the silicon design as well as the entire RF line-up. You will support validation of the silicon in the lab and optimize RF performance via algorithms.
Responsibilities
Design and model DSP algorithms such as beamforming, MIMO, DPD, CFR, digital cancellation schemes and RF impairment compensation
Model RF transceivers impairments and develop RF impairment compensation algorithms
Collaborate with RTL/RFIC designers, communication systems and software engineers to drive chip and system specifications
Develop and optimize HW/SW calibration algorithms for RF SOC and phased array systems
Architect HW and FW partitioning of calibration algorithms
Develop detailed test plans and test procedures for pre-silicon, help with design verification as well as post silicon validation, integration and characterization of RF Wireless SOC performance
Involve in chip bring-up in the lab and optimize conducted and/or OTA throughput performances by collaboratively working with cross functional teams
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.
Basic Qualifications
7+ years of relevant experience in wireless DSP/RF systems engineering (LTE, 5G-NR, WiFi 802.11, BLE)
In depth knowledge of DSP design for low power consumption ASIC
Experience with MATLAB, Python and/or C/C++ for fixed point DSP algorithm development, modeling and simulation
Solid understanding of OFDM, AGC, beamforming algorithms, MIMO, channel estimation, equalization techniques
Solid understanding of RF blocks and components
Experience in RF impairment estimation and compensation techniques
Working knowledge of FW implementation of various DSP algorithms
Experience in using lab equipment, bring-up and validation of chip
MSEE/PhD is highly preferred with emphasis on digital signal processing and wireless communication systems
Preferred Qualifications
Strong background in Communication Theory (signal estimation and detection, AGC, channel estimation), OFDM, MIMO, Digital/Wireless Communication Systems and engineering
Extensive experience in designing low power/area digital signal processing blocks for Wireless RF SOCs
Excellent understanding of RF architectures and blocks used in the Wireless SOCs
MATLAB, Python, C++ experience with emphasis on fixed point modeling of DSP blocks, RF impairment modeling, RF calibration algorithm development, system performance simulations (EVM, ACRL, OOB emissions)
Experience with bit-accurate modeling to match RTL implementations, emulations, FW development
Familiarity with phased array systems and phased array performance optimization techniques
Experience in silicon bring-up in the lab and using lab equipment such as vector spectrum analyzer, signal generators, high speed scopes and logic analyzers
