Our mission is to deliver fast, reliable broadband connectivity to customers beyond the reach of existing networks. From households to small businesses, schools, hospitals, and government agencies, Amazon Leo will serve communities and organizations operating in places without dependable internet access. 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., Create FPGA solutions to support LEO's Optical inter satellite Link system. This is a unique opportunity to define a new system with few legacy constraints. The FPGA design engineer will work with systems teams to define/develop/implement/test/release FPGA based solutions to enable LEO. This will focus on creating digital designs using the latest generations of FPGA technologies and tools. In this role you will: Have ownership of one or more FPGA bitstreams. - Create and release FPGAs through the development phases of uArchitecture-RTL Design-Physical Implementation-Timing Closure-Simulation Validation- Lab Based Silicon Validation Collaborate with system architects to define and design/implement/test/release/support functions targeted to FPGA technology Collaborate with system architects and design engineers to implement digital logic functions in FPGAs Collaborate with system architects and design engineers to implement digital logic functions in FPGA prototypes to validate/tradeoff architecture & design alternatives Collaborate with systems architects, HW engineering design teams & FW/SW design teams to bring up and test the system solutions. Drive trade-off analysis to benefit customer experience and optimization of target technology resources for cost/size/power/performance/features ## Related Videos - [More efficient software for more efficient microchips](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1164-more-efficient-software-for-more-efficient-microchips) - [Empowering Democratic Processes: Building a Hybrid Voting Platform](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1163-empowering-democratic-processes-building-a-hybrid-voting-platform) - [Are Code Reviews Worth It?
