Overview
AWS Utility Computing (UC) provides product innovations — from foundational services such as Amazon’s Simple Storage Service (S3) and Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2), to consistently released new product innovations that continue to set AWS’s services and features apart in the industry. As a member of the UC organization, you’ll support the development and management of Compute, Database, Storage, Internet of Things (IoT), Platform, and Productivity Apps services in AWS, including support for customers who require specialized security solutions for their cloud services. Our Machine Learning Acceleration (MLA) team develops the Inferentia and Trainium SOCs that are used to power today’s AI workloads in datacenters all around the world. As a Circuit & Design Analysis engineer, you’ll collaborate with multiple teams to drive improvements in silicon yield & performance – it’s still Day One here at Amazon!
Key Responsibilities

Design and implement custom cells / IP.
Develop & run characterization flows for custom cells / IP developed.
Own integration & post-silicon qualification of IPs like PLL, PCIE, UCIE, HBM, sensors/monitors.
Develop scripts to automate running analysis and collect reports.
Develop test‑plan and perform measurements in the lab to correlate with simulation data.
Be a highly‑valued member of our start‑up like team through excellent collaboration and teamwork with other physical design engineers, product engineers, hardware engineers as well as with the RTL/Arch. teams.

A Day in the Life

Evaluate IPs (like sensors, process monitors) from a 3rd party.
Develop and characterize custom IPs like ganged buffers, custom logic cells for specialized operations (like MACs).
Work with designers and architects to identify pain‑points and areas where custom solutions can improve PPAS.
Do post‑silicon quality checks for key IP like PLLs, UCIE/PCIE, HBM.
Do post‑silicon power measurements of jitter, sensor calibration, power and correlate with simulation.
