We welcome applications from overseas candidates, with relocation and visa support available for the successful applicant.
Deliver SystemVerilog and Chisel RTL across chip, subsystem, and block levels, meeting PPA targets.
Own microarchitecture and design specifications for chip-, subsystem-, and block-level digital logic.
Drive verification strategy and test plan closure (RTL sims, GLS, X-prop, CDC/RDC, lint, FPGA emulation) through our phase-gate methodology.
Derive product, subsystem, and block-level feature and performance requirements by studying competitor parts, tracking state of the art in low-power wireless/IoT SoCs, and translating market direction into technical specifications.
Enhance and maintain our digital design and verification infrastructure.
Architect clocking, reset, and power domains; author and close UPF/CPF power intent through to GLS and PA simulation.
Apply low-power techniques (clock gating, power gating, retention, isolation) appropriate to battery- and energy-harvesting IoT applications.
Integrate mixed-signal IP (ADPLL, PHY, pads, analog macros) and own the digital/analog interface contract.
Partner with firmware and PHY/MAC teams on register interfaces, programming models, interrupts, and boot sequences to enable efficient HW/SW co-design.
Take on chip-lead duties: drive system verification, synthesis QoR, P&R support, gate-level netlist and power-aware sims, ECO and LEC closure, and tapeout checklist completion.
Coordinate across analog, layout, PnR, DFT, and SW teams to hit major project milestones.
Use AI coding assistants and agents fluently across RTL, verification, scripting, and documentation tasks, with sound judgement on where they accelerate work and where they need close review.
Identify opportunities to apply AI to our design and verification flows — spec analysis, test generation, debug, code review, infrastructure automation — and drive their adoption across the team.
Deliver large, complex projects on schedule with multiple concurrent spins.
Mentor junior team members and uphold design quality through reviews, coding standards, and methodology improvements.
Bsc/MSc/Phd in Electrical / Electronics / Communication Engineering or Computer Science
5+ years experience as a Senior Digital Engineer
Proven experience in the development of complex digital blocks, subsystems, or SoC architectures
Strong understanding of digital design fundamentals, RTL design methodologies, synthesis flows, and ECO implementation/debug
Solid expertise in Verilog/SystemVerilog, digital verification methodologies, C programming, and CDC/RDC analysis
Proficiency in scripting and automation using Python, Tcl, Shell, Makefiles, or similar languages/tools
Experience with design automation and infrastructure development is highly desirable.
Knowledge of low-power design techniques, including clock gating, power domains, power gating, retention, and isolation, is a plus
Familiarity with embedded systems, bus or processor architectures is an advantage
Excellent verbal and written communication skills
Proven to work constructively within your team and among other groups
Strong analytical and problem-solving skills
A determination to deliver even when subject to time pressures
A hands-on, practical attitude
