Sr. Staff Digital Engineer

The Sr. Staff Digital Engineer will define, develop, verify, and optimize complex digital circuits for low-power mixed-signal applications, collaborating on digital specification definition and implementing design for testability. Key responsibilities include logic synthesis, physical design support, comprehensive verification, pre-silicon emulation, and post-silicon evaluation. The role also involves interfacing with various cross-functional teams and providing technical support to other engineering groups.

Must Have

• 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
