Digital Design Engineer
QorvoJob Title
Digital Design Engineer
Role Summary
Design and verify digital control logic for mobile RF products (LNAs, TX controllers, switches) within a mixed-signal semiconductor environment. Work includes RTL design, synthesis, physical implementation, timing closure and verification targeting mobile phone designs.
Role is on-site/hybrid: 3 days in the office and 2 days remote within reasonable commuting distance to the Chandler, AZ office. This position is not eligible for company visa sponsorship.
Experience Level
Professional level. Posting specifies approximately 6 months of relevant experience (or equivalent internship/co-op/graduate credit) as the minimum.
Responsibilities
Primary technical responsibilities include design, implementation and verification tasks:
- RTL design in Verilog/SystemVerilog for digital control logic and interfaces.
- Create and run verification test benches; perform simulation-based verification using tools such as Xcelium.
- Develop timing constraints and synthesis scripts (TCL); perform digital synthesis with Cadence Genus or Synopsys Design Compiler.
- Perform physical implementation and timing closure using Cadence Innovus, including TCL-based setup scripts and fixing setup/hold/width violations.
- Participate in RTL-to-GDS flow, area optimization, and DRC/LVS error resolution.
- Develop automation and flow scripts using Python and other scripting languages to support design and verification tasks.
Requirements
Key required skills and experience (must-haves first):
- Practical experience with Verilog/SystemVerilog design and verification methodologies.
- Hands-on experience with Cadence Innovus for physical design and timing closure.
- Experience with digital synthesis tools (Cadence Genus or Synopsys Design Compiler) and creating timing constraints in TCL.
- Experience creating verification test benches and running simulations (e.g., Xcelium) to validate RTL.
- Familiarity with RTL-to-GDS flow, area optimization techniques, and resolving DRC/LVS issues.
- Proficient in Python scripting for automation; familiarity with other scripting languages is a plus.
Education Requirements
Master's degree in Electrical Engineering is specified. The posting also accepts an internship, co-op, 6 months of relevant experience, or 6 graduate credit hours as meeting the education/experience requirement.
