The Amazon Devices team designs and engineers high-profile consumer electronics, including the best-selling Kindle family of products. We have also produced ground-breaking devices like Fire tablets, Fire TV, and Amazon Echo, and the Astro personal robot. What will you help us create? As an Emulation Engineer, you will be part of an advanced architecture team that is exploring new hardware designs to improve our devices. In this role, you will be responsible for defining the emulation bring up environment for ASIC and system level emulation. You will participate in the design, verification and bring-up of IPs in Emulation by writing relevant scripts, debugging code, test benches, test harnesses, and otherwise interacting with the extended team. You will responsible for the bring-up of these blocks. You will work closely with multi-disciplinary groups including Product Design, Audio Technology, Computer Vision, Hardware Engineering, and Software Engineering, to build and validate emulation solutions that enable development of world-class hardware devices.
