Staff Digital Design Engineer

Job Title

Staff Digital Design Engineer

Role Summary

Lead digital RTL development and architecture for power-management and mixed-signal SoCs. Work across digital, analog, layout, firmware and verification teams to define top-level digital requirements and deliver compact, efficient digital controllers for PMICs.

Position is based in Munich; role includes design leadership, technical strategy, and mentoring of engineering staff.

Experience Level

Senior-level. Typical experience: 10–12 years of digital design experience in silicon-proven ICs.

Responsibilities

Primary responsibilities include specification, design, integration and delivery of digital controller blocks for power-management ICs.

• Define top-level digital requirements and develop specifications for digital functions.
• Architect and implement digital control loops, state machines, multi-bus systems, embedded cores and clock-trees.
• Design regulators, timing logic, self-calibration and trimming logic, and communication interfaces (PMBus, AVSbus, I2C/SPI, PCMI).
• Write synthesizable RTL optimized for reliability and area/energy efficiency.
• Integrate RTL and gate-level netlists into mixed-signal and DV simulation environments with AMS/DV teams.
• Own synthesis, linting, CDC/STA checks, gate-level simulation, equivalence checking and backend/P&R support as required.
• Mentor and guide junior engineers and contribute to technical strategy and architecture decisions.

Requirements

Must-have technical skills and experience:

• 10+ years of digital design experience for silicon-proven ICs, particularly embedded/mixed-signal applications.
• Strong RTL design skills, finite state machines and digital architecture design for controllers.
• Practical experience with synthesis tools and flow setup (Synopsys, Cadence).
• Familiarity with digital design flow: RTL simulation, logic synthesis, timing constraints, STA, back-annotation of parasitics, and gate-level simulation.
• Excellent debugging skills and experience with simulation tools (e.g., Xcelium).
• Basic understanding of analog and full-custom circuit design to support mixed-signal integration.
• Willingness to travel (~10%).
• May require export licensing review for applicants who are not U.S. citizens, U.S. permanent residents, or protected individuals.

Nice-to-have:

• Experience with asynchronous digital design and embedded cores.

Education Requirements

B.S. or M.S. in Electrical or Computer Engineering.
