Digital IC Design Engineer

Job Title

Digital IC Design Engineer

Role Summary

Design and implement digital IP blocks and micro-architectures for embedded processors, from requirements through silicon bring-up. Work within the Embedded Processors team on high-speed interfaces, accelerators, and SoC infrastructure.

Collaborate with SoC design, verification, validation, test, systems, and product teams to deliver production-quality IP.

Experience Level

Senior - typically requires 10+ years of relevant IC design, RTL, or DV experience.

Responsibilities

Primary responsibilities include designing, implementing, and supporting digital IP across the product lifecycle.

• Define and refine micro-architecture for digital IP blocks.
• Develop RTL and associated quality-control flows.
• Create and drive IP verification plans; support functional debug with verification team.
• Collaborate with third-party IP vendors on requirements, delivery, and quality.
• Support silicon bring-up, test program development, and customer/application debug.
• Optimize IP for area, power, and performance.
• Work with cross-functional teams to take IP from concept to production.

Requirements

Must-have skills and experience; preferred items listed separately.

• 10+ years of experience in digital design/RTL/DV development.
• Hands-on front-end design experience of complex multi-clock-domain IP blocks.
• Ability to convert high-level system requirements into micro-architectural designs and RTL.
• Proficiency in Verilog.
• Experience with lint tools, clock-domain crossing (CDC) checkers, synthesis flows, and timing closure.
• Experience with simulation and waveform debug tools (e.g., Cadence SimVision).
• Experience with RTL development workflows and QC practices.

Nice-to-have:

• Expertise in high-speed interface IPs (DDR, USB, CSI, DSI, PCIe, UCIe).
• SystemVerilog and verification/validation experience.
• Scripting skills (Tcl, Perl, Python).
• Strong analytical, communication, and time-management skills.

Education Requirements

Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Electrical and Computer Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field (as stated in the posting).
