Job Description

Responsibilities

Define, develop, verify and optimize complex digital circuits for low-power mixed-signal circuits. Design digital hardware functions and sub systems in RTL code using SystemVerilog, Verilog or VHDL. Collaborate with system design to create digital specification definition. Implement design for testability (scan chain, BIST, boundary scan) and diagnosis features to support hardware testing. Generate technical documentation and participate in design reviews. (40%)
Support constraints definition, logic synthesis, and physical design for timing closure, DFT insertion and test vectors creation, static timing closure. (15%)
Support development of comprehensive verification plans and testbenches, including functional verification, RTL and gate-level simulations, timing analysis, and top verification. Participate in pre-silicon digital hardware emulation and FPGA prototyping. (15%)
Support silicon lab evaluation, performance characterization and debug. (10%)
Interface with system, embedded firmware, analog, verification and cross functional teams. (10%)
Technical support to test, product and application engineers. (10%)

Minimum Qualifications

4+ years of industry experience in digital integrated circuit design
B.S. or M.S. in Electrical or Computer Engineering
Strong analytical, synthesis and problem solving skills
Solid knowledge and experience in digital IC development, frontend-to-backend flow, timing closure, data path, signal processing, low-power techniques, basic constraints development, timing analysis, system trade-offs (power, speed, hardware resources, area)
Background with MCU based hardware systems (ARM, RISC-V, PIC, STM32) with memories, digital micro-architecture, interfaces, and dedicated hardware peripherals
