Digital Design Engineer

Job Title

Digital Design Engineer

Role Summary

Join the High-Performance Mixed-Signal R&D team in Newbury to design and deliver digital IP and mixed-signal SoC blocks for consumer markets. The role covers architecture, RTL implementation, verification, and integration through production on advanced process nodes.

Experience Level

Mid-level (no explicit years of experience listed).

Responsibilities

Core responsibilities include block-level digital design, verification, and team collaboration.

• Design and develop digital circuit architectures from concept through production, including block-level testbench development.
• Implement RTL using Verilog/SystemVerilog and integrate blocks into larger subsystems.
• Participate in technical reviews and enforce IP quality using checklists.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to deliver complex mixed-signal products and IP.
• Provide technical guidance and supervise junior engineers.

Requirements

Must-have technical and professional qualifications; preferred items listed separately.

• Proven experience implementing complex digital circuits and sub-systems in RTL using Verilog/SystemVerilog.
• Understanding of digital system-level design: standard bus protocols, bus architecture design, chip-level clock and reset architectures.
• Experience verifying block-level digital designs.
• Familiarity with synthesis and timing analysis of digital circuits.
• Strong analytical, problem-solving, organizational and communication skills; able to work with urgency in a dynamic environment.

Nice-to-have

• Experience with UVM-based verification environments.
• DSP filter design using MATLAB/Simulink and signal analysis techniques.
• Scripting and automation for design tasks.
• Experience with AMBA, SPI, I2C and board-level interfaces; lab and silicon validation, chip bring-up and debug.
• Familiarity with linting, CDC/RDC tools, DFT, place-and-route collaboration, clock generation and multi-clock-domain handling, power gating and low-power techniques, ARM or RISC-V microcontrollers and memory controllers.

Education Requirements

Bachelor's, Master's or Doctorate degree in Electrical Engineering or a related discipline (the posting lists these degrees as the expected academic background).
