Senior Silicon Validation Engineer, Kuiper Silicon Team

Project Kuiper is Amazon's ambitious initiative to launch a constellation of Low Earth Orbit satellites, aimed at providing low-latency, high-speed broadband connectivity to unserved and underserved communities worldwide.

As a Senior Silicon Validation Engineer, you'll be at the forefront of innovative product solutions, working with cutting-edge mm-wave SoCs for satellite communications. Your role involves:

• Building and managing lab bench setups and probe-stations for high-volume production testing
• Working with wafer level and package level setups, including both digital and RF focused configurations
• Developing automation software for test systems
• Collaborating with silicon design teams, ATE engineers, and failure analysis engineers
• Executing test plans for functional verification and characterization
• Implementing software tests and flows for system validation
• Correlating bench and ATE results
• Supporting the entire project lifecycle from pre-silicon planning to end-of-life characterization

The position offers competitive compensation ranging from $143,300 to $247,600 per year, depending on location, plus comprehensive benefits including equity and sign-on payments. You'll be part of a collaborative team environment, working with cross-disciplinary experts to deliver cutting-edge satellite communication technology.

This role requires strong technical expertise in silicon validation engineering, proficiency in programming languages like Python, C/C++, and C#, and experience with mm-wave SoC validation. You'll have the opportunity to work with state-of-the-art equipment and contribute to a project that aims to bridge the global digital divide.
