Job Summary:

The Staff Digital Engineer is responsible for designing, developing and validating a variety of digital integrated circuit blocks and systems. Ahead of detailed design, the Staff Digital Engineer will actively participate in the definition of the chip, systems, and blocks including interactions with application, system, embedded firmware, analog, and cross functional teams.

The role also includes technical ownership, pre-silicon and post-silicon validations, support to application and production test engineers, and definition of test methodology.

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
- 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 ownership and successful execution
- Experience with standard hardware protocols (I2C, I3C, SPI, MIPI)
- Independent, self-motivated, rigorous, team player and able to follow through
- Excellent verbal and written communication skills

Desired Qualifications

- Digital development for mixed-signal ICs
- Hands-on experience with development boards, FPGAs, logic analyzers, oscilloscopes, supplies, multimeters and the associated measurement methods
- Knowledge of system-level aspects: signal processing, embedded firmware, analog, modelling, test and application
- Experience with system design methods & tools, Matlab, etc.
- Experience with consumer and/or ITA market circuit developments
