Foundry Interface Engineer, Silicon Systems Group
Amazon
DESCRIPTION
Come join Amazon Devices and work within Amazon Lab126, where top engineers, researchers, and scientists invent, design, and build Amazon's new consumer electronics devices and services. Amazon Lab126 has produced the best-selling Kindle devices, the groundbreaking Fire tablets and Fire TV, and the revolutionary Echo.
We are seeking an experienced Foundry Interface Engineer with deep expertise in working with foundry partners, process and yield optimization, and statistical analysis. This engineer will drive continuous improvement in process definition, collaborate with cross-functional teams, and conduct in-depth investigations into quality, reliability, and yield performance. As a Foundry Interface Engineer, you will work closely with internal design, product, and manufacturing teams, as well as external foundry partners, to optimize process technology and ensure the successful delivery of high-quality silicon. You will leverage your technical expertise to address process and yield challenges, manage PDK (Process Design Kit) collateral deployment, and negotiate optimal process solutions.
Our final product is a consumer electronics device, not just the silicon, so you will stretch beyond traditional foundry engineering boundaries and tackle system-level challenges, offering ample opportunities to learn system architecture.
Key job responsibilities
- Collaborate with foundry partners to optimize process technologies, address yield-related challenges, and negotiate the best process solutions.
- Manage PDK collateral and ensure its seamless deployment in design environments.
- Perform in-depth technical analysis, including electrical and physical failure analysis (eFA/pFA) and statistical failure analysis, to identify root causes and implement corrective and preventive actions.
- Support design teams with PDKs, IP development, tapeout, and implementation of DFM (Design for Manufacturing) and design-for-reliability requirements.
- Provide technical leadership in adopting new technologies and methodologies to enhance product performance, reliability, and cost-efficiency.
