Digital IC Design Engineer

Job Description

Change the world. Love your job.

We enable next generation of Audio-Video solutions in cars whether it is to enable self-driving in an ADAS system or rear-seat entertainment in an IVI system. You will be part of the team enabling high end experience in the future generation of cars.

In this position, you will be working on Architecting and Designing high-speed mixed-signal SerDes circuits using state-of-the art process technology, as well as be involved in the design of high-performance digital circuits interfacing to leading edge analog circuitry as part of an overall system. You will be working on multiple Audio-Video protocols including DisplayPort, MIPI CSI over CPHY/DPHY enabling solutions that require handling multiple AV streams, video processing, stream encryption and compression.

Your responsibilities will include defining architecture and micro-architecture, RTL coding, simulation, synthesis, timing closure, verification, evaluation, debugging of high-speed SerDes chips both at the circuit level and behavioral level.

As a design engineer, you will prepare test methods and specifications, assist in preparation of application information, data sheets and demo boards. You will develop solutions to complex problems through assessment of various techniques and approaches. You will plan and organize work to ensure timely completion of many independent tasks with general instructions on routine tasks and with detailed instructions on new assignments.

This position involves routine communication with a highly talented team of analog and digital design engineers to solve problems and present information as well as active participation in work groups, providing ideas and collaborative teamwork.

Qualifications

Minimum requirements:

• BSEE with 12 years or MSEE with 10 years of digital/mixed signal ASIC architecture/design experience
• Successfully taped out multiple devices
• A thorough understanding of digital logic design
• Strong understanding of ASIC design flow from RTL to GDSII.
• Familiarity with the Verilog language and simulators
• A good understanding of analog functionality and exposure to analog IC design methods
• Ability to solve problems using a systematic approach
  
  

Preferred Qualifications

• RTL coding and synchronous/asynchronous digital skills
