MTS Digital Design Engineer

Job Title

MTS Digital Design Engineer

Role Summary

Senior digital design engineer on the GlobalFoundries Egypt digital design team responsible for architecting, implementing, and integrating complex RTL-based digital systems.

Focus areas include high-speed data-path design for optical transceivers, microarchitecture definition, timing closure, and driving cross-functional integration with system, analog/mixed-signal, and physical design teams.

Experience Level

Senior — requires extensive experience; posting specifies 10+ years of digital design and RTL development experience.

Responsibilities

Primary responsibilities include full life-cycle digital design, high-speed logic architecture, and cross-team integration.

• Lead end-to-end digital design from microarchitecture definition through RTL implementation and integration.
• Architect and implement high-speed data-path logic for systems including optical transceiver pipelines.
• Define and review microarchitecture specifications with emphasis on throughput, latency, and timing closure.
• Drive design quality via code reviews, linting, CDC/RDC analysis, and synthesis best practices.
• Collaborate with system, analog/mixed-signal, and physical design teams to ensure correct high-speed interface integration.
• Optimize designs for performance, power, and area (PPA).
• Debug complex functional and integration issues across simulation, emulation, and silicon bring-up.

Requirements

Must-have technical skills and experience required for the role; preferred items listed separately.

• Must-have: 10+ years of digital design and RTL development experience.
• Must-have: Strong expertise in Verilog/SystemVerilog and digital design fundamentals.
• Must-have: Solid understanding of microarchitecture design, clock domain crossing (CDC), and reset domain crossing (RDC).
• Must-have: Low-power design techniques; synthesis and timing constraints experience.
• Must-have: Experience with industry-standard EDA tools (synthesis, lint, CDC analysis, simulation).
• Must-have: Strong debugging and problem-solving skills, including silicon bring-up support.
• Nice-to-have: System-level design and hardware/software co-design experience.
• Nice-to-have: Knowledge of DFT (scan, MBIST, JTAG) and bring-up flows; FPGA prototyping and emulation experience.
• Nice-to-have: Scripting experience (Python, Tcl, or similar).

Education Requirements

Bachelor's or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related technical field.
