Project Kuiper

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.

The Role:

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:

• Implement a state of the art verification environment to facilitate testing of the RTL against reference Matlab/C models
• Develop detailed test plans and write tests, run regressions, collect coverage matrices and report progress to the program
• Utilize the emulation platform to improve and strengthen pre-silicon verification flow
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to leverage emulation platform for end-to-end integration testing
• Work with tool vendors and drive enhancements in emulation methodology
• Participate in the validation of FPGAs using test benches, which can be reused for the ASIC implementation
• Run formal verification of complex blocks to ensure functional correctness
• Work with the design and communication systems team and participate in system level verification using test benches constructed using UVM, System C and DPI-C
• Develop a highly automated environment to run regressions that can be used to make builds and maintain organization of the database
