Digital Design Engineer

Job title: Digital Design Engineer

About the Role Seeking an experienced Digital design engineer to develop complex mixed-signal ICs for EVs, Industrial Control, and related infrastructure applications. This role participates in all phases—from system conceptualization to mass production—whether leading or supporting based on experience. You will contribute to digital architecture, RTL design, firmware, back-end flow, verification, and full-chip mixed-signal verification, along with documentation and lab evaluation.

What You'll Do

• Drive requirements and architecture for Digital sub system from product specification and requirements
• Develops innovative new designs for patenting or protecting as trade secrets
• Participates and contributes to product definition
• Interface with analog design teams to understand the interface requirements between analog and digital domains
• Work with the team members to fine-tune the overall design leading to efficient implementation and verification cycles
• Creates good documentation and reports on design results through design reviews
• Attends design reviews to provide input and learn from other designers’ experiences
• Research design techniques through technical publications and seminars

What We're Looking For

• Strong motivation to contribute to all facets of chip design from conceptualization to release to production
• Working knowledge of digital IC circuit design in an HDL synthesis environment
• Ability to develop RTL code and understand how RTL will map to gate-level structures
• Knowledge of scripting/language (Python, PERL, shell, TCL)
• Experience with modeling analog blocks to include in a HDL mixed mode simulation
• Deep understanding of the digital design flow from architecture through RTL design, verification, synthesis, timing closure, P&R preparation and scan insertion
• Good verbal and written communication skills, positive attitude, desire to learn, and willingness to work on a team

Nice to Have

• Competence in high-level languages (e.g. Matlab, C), scripting languages (e.g. Tcl, Perl, Python, SKILL), and version control systems (e.g. SVN, SOS)
• Working knowledge of System Verilog and/or UVM
• Experience with digital design verification, and full-chip mixed-signal verification
• Experience with digital IO interfaces such as SPI, I2C etc.
• Competence in exploring digital and system/architecture trade-offs such as memory size (ROM, RAM, FLASH, OTP, cache), clock speed, multiple clock domains, and the necessity for dedicated logic and DSP
• Experience with both digital front end and back end tools
• Familiarity with DSP techniques and algorithms
