Sr. Staff Digital Engineer

Overview

Senior Staff Digital Engineer role focused on designing, verifying and optimizing complex digital circuits for low-power mixed-signal ICs.

What you'll do

• Define, develop, verify and optimize complex digital circuits for low-power mixed-signal circuits.
• Design digital hardware functions and sub/full 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 drive design reviews.
• Define constraints, perform logic synthesis, implement or supervise physical design for timing closure, perform DFT insertion and create test vectors, perform static timing closure.
• Support development of comprehensive verification plans and testbenches, including functional verification, RTL and gate-level simulations, timing analysis, and top verification.
• Define and implement pre-silicon digital hardware emulation and FPGA prototyping.
• Support silicon lab evaluation, performance characterization and debug.
• Interface with system, embedded firmware, analog, verification and cross functional teams.
• Provide technical support to test, product and application engineers.

What you'll need

• 10+ 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.
• In-depth knowledge and experience in digital IC development for mixed-signal ICs, frontend-to-backend flow, timing closure, HW-SW architectures and co-design, data path, signal processing, low-power techniques, constraints development, timing analysis, system trade-offs (power, speed, hardware resources, area).
• Strong background with MCU based hardware systems (ARM, RISC-V, PIC, STM32) with memories, digital micro-architecture, interfaces, and dedicated hardware peripherals.
• Proficiency in SystemVerilog/Verilog/VHDL, scripting languages (Python, Perl, tcl), debugging capabilities, and industry leading digital EDA tools (Synopsys, Cadence, Siemens).
• Knowledge of verification methodologies and tools (SystemVerilog, UVM/OVM, formal verification).
• Demonstration of technical leadership and innovation.
• Experience with standard hardware protocols (I2C, I3C, SPI, MIPI).
• Hands-on experience with development boards, FPGAs, logic analyzers, oscilloscopes, supplies, multimeters and the associated measurement methods.
• Independent, self-motivated, rigorous, innovating, team player and able to follow through.
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills.
• Knowledge of system-level aspects: signal processing, mixed-signal, embedded firmware, analog, modelling, test and application.

Nice to have

• Experience with system design methods and tools, Matlab, etc.
• Experience with consumer and/or ITA market circuit developments.
