We are seeking a Senior Staff Digital Design Engineer to architect and implement the digital content within power, analog, and mixed-signal IC products. This is a senior individual-contributor role requiring ownership from requirements and microarchitecture through RTL, synthesis, timing closure, DFT support, and silicon bring-up.

The successful candidate will design control, sequencing, protection, diagnostics, trimming, communication, test, and safety-related logic that works closely with analog circuitry. The emphasis is not on large processor SoCs. It is on high-quality digital design embedded inside power and analog ICs.

You will be expected to resolve ambiguous requirements, make sound area-power-performance trade-offs, develop reusable design practices, mentor engineers, and collaborate across analog design, verification, physical design, test, applications, and product teams.

Responsibilities :

Digital Architecture & RTL Design

- Translate product and circuit requirements into robust digital microarchitecture and detailed block specifications.
- Design optimized RTL for control, sequencing, protection, diagnostics, trimming, communication, test, and low-power functions within power and analog ICs.
- Own block-level integration and contribute to chip-level digital architecture, interfaces, clocking, reset, power-state, and register-map decisions.
- Make and document trade-offs across functionality, area, power, testability, timing, reuse, and implementation risk.

Implementation, Timing & DFT

- Develop synthesizable Verilog/SystemVerilog RTL, synthesis scripts, timing constraints, and implementation collateral.
- Own or guide synthesis, lint, CDC/RDC,



low-power checks, static timing analysis, and handoff to physical design.
- Support DFT architecture and implementation, including scan insertion, ATPG enablement, test modes, and production-test requirements.
- Work with place-and-route teams on timing closure, congestion, power, and post-layout issues.

Verification & Silicon Support

- Collaborate with verification engineers on verification planning, assertions, coverage, debug, and specification closure.
- Develop directed tests, reference checks, or test vectors where useful to accelerate design validation and production-test development.
- Support gate-level and post-layout verification, silicon bring-up, device evaluation, failure analysis, and root-cause investigation.
- Develop and document practical workarounds where device errata or silicon limitations require them.

Technical Leadership & Reuse

- Drive reusable RTL, design methodology, coding standards, review practices, and automation across projects.
- Mentor junior and mid-level digital engineers and lead architecture, RTL, and implementation reviews.
- Identify technical and schedule risks early and communicate clear options and recommendations to project leadership.
- Collaborate effectively with analog, applications, test, layout, CAD,



and product teams across global locations. Qualifications
- Bachelor or Masters degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related discipline.
- 10+ years of relevant experience in digital design, RTL development, and implementation for semiconductor products.
- Deep hands-on experience in logic design, microarchitecture, Verilog/SystemVerilog RTL coding, synthesis, and static timing analysis.
- Experience designing digital control logic embedded in PMICs, power-management, automotive, audio, or other mixed-signal integrated circuits.
- Strong understanding of clocks, resets, low-power states, finite-state machines, register interfaces, fault handling, and hardware-software interaction.
- Hands-on experience developing block-level and top-level timing constraints for STA and physical-design sign-off.
- Working knowledge of DFT, scan insertion, ATPG, test modes, CDC/RDC analysis, lint, and gate-level verification.
- Experience with scripting and automation using TCL, Python, Perl, shell, or similar languages.
- Proven ability to own complex design blocks, influence chip-level decisions, mentor engineers, and lead technical reviews.
- Self-driven, results-oriented, and able to deliver high-quality designs under tight schedules in a multisite and multicultural workplace.
