The Role: As a Senior ASIC Design Engineer, you will be part of an advanced design and architecture team that is creating the semiconductor designs which will power millions of new Amazon devices. You will work closely with multi-disciplinary groups including System Architecture, Architecture, and Software teams, to architect and implement the advanced imaging pipelines that will enable our products to capture the world with stunning clarity.

Key job responsibilities

In this role, you will:

* Architect and Design world class imaging hardware

* Communicate and work with team members across multiple disciplines

* Develop detailed design specifications and documentation

* Perform RTL coding and synthesis

* Work with Partners/Suppliers to optimize and customize their products

* Run industry standard code quality tools and fix issues found by them

* Participate in test plan and coverage reviews

The ideal candidate should have experience with RTL development environments and fluency in modern hardware description languages. They should have developed complex IP blocks from scratch that have successfully been integrated in SOCs or other such silicon that have been productized in consumer devices. They should have experience in design, development, and implementation of dedicated hardware for image processing pipelines. They should be familiar with modern SoC architectures, various interconnect topologies such as AMBA AXI, APB, AHB, and implementations. Knowledge of image processing algorithms and experience with multimedia pipeline design is desirable. Experience with I/O interfaces such as SPI, eDP, HDMI, MIPI CSI/DSI/ is also preferred. Experience with memory instantiation and memory compilers is also preferred. We are looking for a self-driven individual who can work with architects, HW and SW developers and can quickly resolve blocking issues.

BASIC QUALIFICATIONS

- Experience with design of Image Signal Processing (ISP) pipelines and image processing algorithms

- 5+ years of RTL development experience with a record of taping out production silicon

- Experience with design development using Verilog/SystemVerilog

- Experience in defining micro-architecture from architecture guidelines and model analysis.

- Experience in performance/power/area analysis and trade-offs

- Proficient in design methodologies and EDA tools

- Experience working with Synthesis, timing closure, and design constraints

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS

- Experience with ARM and various DSP ISA

- Experience in entire design flow from architecture to final silicon.

- Experience debugging system-level issues

- Good programming skills in C/C++ and scripting skills in Python, Tcl, and/or Perl

- 10 years or more of practical experience

- Experience with wide variety of low power design techniques

- Working experience with high performance industry standard buses like AMBA AXI4

- Experience in integrating third party IP blocks, building top level modules, defining clock domains and power domains

- Knowledge of FPGA and emulation platforms

- Knowledge of SoC architecture

- Excellent verbal and written communication skills
