Principal Digital Design Engineer

Job Title

Principal Digital Design Engineer

Role Summary

Lead the digital design and verification of mixed-signal ASSP and FPGA-based products from architecture through tape-out. Work within the Digital Healthcare IC design team in Bari to define top-level requirements, drive technical decisions, and coordinate cross-functional execution for healthcare-focused SoC and module solutions.

Experience Level

Senior — 10+ years of relevant experience in mixed-signal digital design and SoC development.

Responsibilities

Deliver and oversee digital design and verification activities across project milestones, collaborate with cross-functional teams, and mentor junior engineers.

• Define top-level chip requirements and act as digital lead on key projects.
• Architect and implement complex SoC digital subsystems for ASSP and FPGA targets.
• Develop RTL (SystemVerilog) and use standard-cell flows to meet functional, power, and timing goals.
• Plan and execute block- and full-chip verification, regressions, synthesis, timing analysis, and scan/ATPG.
• Support silicon bring-up and debug, including FPGA testbench and characterization activities.
• Coordinate with Product, Test, Applications, and Marketing teams to ensure product success.
• Mentor and provide technical leadership to junior design engineers.
• Document and present design status and technical decisions in project meetings.

Requirements

Key technical skills and experience required or strongly preferred. Degree details are listed in Education Requirements below.

Must-have

• RTL design using SystemVerilog and digital design for mixed-signal products.
• Experience with synthesis, timing closure, and scan/ATPG flows.
• Full-chip verification and regression strategy for complex designs.
• Silicon debug experience and FPGA-based testbench support.
• SoC architecture experience and ability to define ASSP architecture/specs.
• Strong analytical, problem-solving, communication, and teamwork skills.
• Proven ability to drive technical strategy and mentor other engineers.

Nice-to-have

• Scripting experience (Python, Perl, Shell) to automate flows and verification.
• UVM and mixed-signal verification methodology experience.
• Verification experience with ARM or RISC-V subsystems or SoCs.

Education Requirements

Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering required; 10+ years of relevant experience in mixed-signal digital design and successful RTL-to-GDSII product development. (The posting specifies an Electrical Engineering degree and 10+ years of experience.)
