Software Development & Engineering

Job Description

This role involves joining a dynamic team focused on developing high-speed PMA layer IP for industry-standard protocols. The engineer will be responsible for front-end coding, scripting, and developing flows throughout the digital design and functional verification phases. Collaboration with digital, analog, and application teams is expected. The position requires a strong background in DSP and Serdes, with experience in RTL logic design, debug, and functional verification. Understanding of digital architecture trade-offs, clock domain crossings, synthesis, static timing analysis, and physical design flows is also crucial. Excellent communication and organizational skills are necessary. Experience with FPGA, emulation, and firmware development is a plus. Substantial Verilog experience and strong logic/debug skills are required.
Good To Have:
  • Strong background in DSP and algorithms
  • Familiarity with Ethernet PMA/PMD/PCS layers
  • Understanding of mixed-signal design impact on digital flows
  • Experience with FPGA and/or emulation platforms
  • Firmware development of embedded microcontroller systems
  • Ethernet connectivity protocol knowledge
  • Mixed-signal IP development procedures
Must Have:
  • At least 10 years of work experience in SerDes
  • Thorough understanding of end-to-end digital design flow
  • Digital microarchitecture definition and documentation
  • RTL logic design, debug, and functional verification
  • Understanding of digital architecture trade-offs (power, performance, area)
  • Understanding of asynchronous clock domain crossings
  • Understanding of Lint checks and error resolution
  • Understanding of synthesis timing constraints and static timing analysis
  • Understanding of fundamental physical design flows
  • Excellent communication skills
  • Self-motivated and well-organized
  • Substantial experience with Verilog
  • Excellent logic and debug skills
Perks:
  • Incentive compensation (bonus, equity)
  • Paid vacation
  • Paid holidays
  • 401(k) plan with employer match

At Cadence, we hire and develop leaders and innovators who want to make an impact on the world of technology.

This is an opportunity to join a dynamic and growing team of engineers developing high-speed PMA layer IP for industry-standard protocols. The successful candidate will be a highly self-motivated and results-oriented member of a small team of engineers that can learn and improve existing digital flows. The candidate will primarily be responsible for front-end coding, scripting and developing flows at all phases of the digital design and functional verification. It is further expected that the candidate will be able to work as part of a small and focused team of engineers and will be able to collaborate successfully as needed with the digital, analog and application teams. Candidate should be willing to work full time in the San Jose office. A Cadence satellite office (if senior with extensive SerDes exp.) will be considered.

Position Requirements

This team is focused on DSP and/or High Speed Serdes. The ideal candidate will have at least 10 plus years of actual work experience in SerDes as well as a thorough understanding of the end-to-end digital design flow in order to accurately and efficiently collaborate with all members of the technical staff, both analog and digital, regarding overall project development progress and status. This includes but is not limited to:

  • Digital microarchitecture definition and documentation
  • RTL logic design, debug and functional verification
  • Strong background in DSP and algorithms is a plus.
  • Familiar with the PMA/PMD/PCS layers of the Ethernet protocol is a plus.
  • Understanding of digital architecture trade-offs for power, performance, and area
  • Understanding of proper handling of multiple asynchronous clock domains and their crossings
  • Understanding of Lint checks and proper resolution of errors
  • Understanding synthesis timing constraints, static timing analysis and constraint development
  • Understanding of fundamental physical design flows and stages
  • Understanding impacts of analog and mixed-signal design and verification on digital-on-top development flow.
  • Exhibit excellent communication skills and be self-motivated and well organized.
  • Experience with FPGA and/or emulation platform is a plus.
  • Firmware development of embedded microcontroller systems is a plus.

Substantial experience with Verilog is required, as are excellent logic and debug skills.  Engineering expertise in mixed-signal IP development procedures and Ethernet connectivity protocol knowledge are also strongly preferred.
