For our Advanced Research and Development Department, we are actively seeking a Digital Design Engineer. 

 

Key Responsibilities

  • RTL design with basics of DFT and IP verification
  • Logic synthesis, Timing analysis
  • Concept definition, analog to digital interface specification in close interaction with Analog/Mixed signal designers
  • Close interaction with verification and physical implementation engineers to verify circuit functionality and compliance with area, timing and power requirements
  • Develop block level specifications of very high-speed digital circuits that meet key performance targets based on system level requirements
  • Design and verification of very high-speed digital circuits and mixed-signal interfaces
  • Support for post-silicon lab bring-up, debug, validation, characterization and productization.
  • Analysis and understanding of high-speed serial protocols (e.g., USB4, PCIe).

 

Skills

  • Strong interest in the design of digital circuits and blocks for multi-Gigabit serial ana parallel data-link transceivers, DDR and low power high performance memory and communication interfaces
  • Strong scripting and tool setup skill
  • Strong analytical skills to translate system-level requirements into design
  • Self-motivated, with strong sense of ownership and responsibility. Good communicator and team player
  • RTL coding skills, CDC and Linting knowledge
  • Understanding of verification tools and methodologies is an advantage
  • Knowledge of synthesis, STA and signal processing techniques is an advantage
  • Advanced knowledge of high-speed and low-power design techniques and high-speed serial protocols
  • Scripting (Python preferred) and tool setup skills.

 

Experience

  • 5-10 years of experience in design of high-speed and power-efficient digital systems for communication
  • MSc or PhD in electronics/electrical engineering (equivalent or higher)
  • Strong technical background in design of high-speed digital circuits in deep-submicron CMOS technologies
  • Proven experience in complex digital design and verification of data processing systems
  • Proven experience in design and verification of complex regulation systems (configuration, calibration and dynamic adaption)
  • Experience in industry standard design EDA tools for design, simulation and verification
  • Experience in digital high-speed blocks, CMOS High Speed interface competence would be a preference
  • Exposure to the Cadence toolset
  • Experience with multi-Gigabit serial data transceivers is highly desirable
  • Experience with analog/digital control interfaces is valuable
