Shenzhen, China
Amazon Lab126 is an inventive research and development company that designs and engineers high-profile consumer electronics. Lab126 began in 2004 as a subsidiary of Amazon.com, Inc., originally creating the best-selling Kindle family of products. Since then, we have produced groundbreaking devices like Kindle, Fire tablets, Fire TV and Amazon Echo. What will you help us create?
The Role:
As a Sr. Hardware Development Engineer in our team, you will be responsible for supporting product development functions across design, validation and manufacturing. We are looking for candidates who thrive in a fast-paced start-up like environment and want to invent the future. In this role, you will wear many hats working on system design down to quick turn prototypes, manufacturing production processes, design validation and debug. You will work at the integrated circuit and product systems level and drive the quality bar to ensure the products we ship are bug free.
To be successful you need to be highly motivated, understand how to solve problems and dive deep while delivering to the highest standards. You will demonstrate a strong working knowledge of product electrical design with expertise in systems integration, the desire to learn from new challenges, and the problem-solving and communication skills to work within a highly interactive and experienced team.
Key job responsibilities
In this role, you will:
- Lead multiple electrical design and validation on multiple products across Amazon device portfolio
- Research test/validation technologies and methodologies across factory and lab environment
- Develop and execute detailed electrical validation test plans to ensure functional and parametric conformance for various sub-systems including Memory
- Drive debug and root cause of hardware design issues, qualifying trade-offs and user impact
- Support integration of memory components into the broad range of Amazon HW devices.
- Provide on-site electrical engineering support at manufacturing facilities in China
- Drive hardware bring-up, debug, and failure analysis at manufacturing sites
- Support Design for Manufacturing (DFM) initiatives and manufacturing process optimization
- Own and resolve electrical design issues across xVT phases, while driving validation status reporting across mile-stone gates
- Leverage AI tools and/or write scripts where feasible to automate for efficiency
- Support positive team interactions to accomplish program objectives
- Coach or mentor junior electrical engineers
- 7+ years of consumer electronics experience
- Experience working with Memory technologies such as DRAM, eMMC and knowledge of JEDEC standards
- Experience in Power Regulation (AC-DC/DC-DC) Design, including schematic, layout, design validation and debug
- Strong EE fundamentals and experience in failure analysis and troubleshooting skills in a laboratory environment
- Experience in leading and driving electrical product development across schematic design, layout, assembly and design validation
- Experience with prototyping solutions and bench testing methodology
- Experience in schematic entry, layout tools and design for manufacture-ability (familiarity with OrCAD Capture and Cadence Allegro tool flow is a plus)
- Knowledge of processor architecture, digital circuit design and various communications protocols such as I2C, UART, SPI, USB, MIPI, I2S, etc.
- English and Mandarin language skills
- Experience with DRAM technology (e.g. DDR3, LPDDR3, DDR4, LPDDR4, LPDDR5, DDR5) characterization, validation, and debug
- Experience with memory controllers validation
- Solid knowledge of EE fundamentals and signal/power integrity principles
- Expertise with power supply design and High and high-speed electrical signal characterization
- Experience with Audio front end electrical design and validation using Audio Precision
- Knowledge of Battery management Systems and experience with battery powered, wireless, embedded HW/SW consumer devices
- Automation experience (i.e. shell, Perl, Python, etc.)
