About the role
Amazon LEO is an initiative to increase global broadband access through a constellation of 3,236 satellites in low Earth orbit (LEO). Its mission is to bring fast, affordable broadband to unserved and underserved communities around the world. Amazon LEO will help close the digital divide by delivering fast, affordable broadband to a wide range of customers, including consumers, businesses, government agencies, and other organizations operating in places without reliable connectivity.
The Amazon LEO team is looking for a Sr. Technical Program Manager with experience in complex ASIC/SOC development of managing various phases of pre-silicon such as architecture, front end design, pre-silicon verification, FPGA prototyping, Emulation, Physical design, BROM, FW, substrate and package design, Tapeout; and post-silicon phases such as silicon manufacturing with foundry and OSAT, silicon bring-up, functional and system validation, embedded FW/SW, ATE, Reliability, Qual, and NPI. The role will interface with cross-functional engineering and program/product management teams to develop ASIC/SOCs solutions that will go into Satellites and Ground equipment/terminals. Join us and make a difference in the lives of people around the world.
