Engineer II - Design

Job Title

Engineer II - Design

Role Summary

Execute semiconductor RTL and circuit design, integration, verification, performance, power, area, documentation, and product lifecycle tasks as part of a design engineering team. Work independently on defined assignments and coordinate with cross-functional stakeholders to deliver reliable, high-quality engineering outcomes.

Travel: up to 25%.

Experience Level

Mid-level. Preferred experience: 2.5–5 years in semiconductor or electronic design, RTL, digital or mixed-signal circuits, architecture, simulation, synthesis, or integration.

Responsibilities

Primary responsibilities include hands-on design, analysis, verification, and coordination across product lifecycle.

• Develop and maintain semiconductor circuits, IP, interfaces, subsystems, and design collateral.
• Translate product, system, performance, power, area, reliability, test, manufacturing, and schedule requirements into design plans.
• Analyze specifications, simulation results, timing, power, area, integration, defects, risks, dependencies, and technical trade-offs.
• Debug design, simulation, integration, verification, implementation, and product issues; perform root-cause analysis within scope.
• Review requirements, circuits, models, results, changes, and release evidence for technical quality.
• Drive design reuse, automation, quality, reliability, efficiency, and continuous improvement.
• Coordinate outcomes across design, verification, layout, test, manufacturing, and CAD teams.
• Maintain specifications, design records, review evidence, configuration, and lifecycle documentation.

Requirements

Must-have technical skills and professional behaviors for this role.

• 2.5–5 years of hands-on experience in semiconductor or electronic design focused on RTL, digital or mixed-signal circuits, architecture, simulation, synthesis, or integration.
• Proficiency with RTL development, simulation, synthesis, timing and power analysis tools and methodologies.
• Ability to convert system and product requirements into verifiable design implementations.
• Strong analytical thinking, structured problem solving, and root-cause analysis.
• Clear technical communication and documentation skills.
• Demonstrated cross-functional collaboration, technical ownership, and accountability.
• Quality and reliability focus, with attention to release evidence and lifecycle records.
• Employment stability and integrity in representing qualifications and experience.

Nice-to-have:

• Experience with ASIC, SoC, FPGA, analog, memory, interface, or IP design.
• Experience in architecture, integration, design reviews, technical leadership, or product development.

Education Requirements

Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Physics, or a related field is required. Typical experience is 2.5–5 years in relevant semiconductor or electronic design. A Master's degree in the same or related fields is preferred.
