Job will involve understanding DSP and networking algorithms, efficiently translating those into structured RTL, designing and implementing test benches, verifying blocks, supporting integration and emulation into prototypes.
This is a Full-time, Permanent remote position requires a strong foundation in semiconductor design methodologies, CAD tools, and scripting to apply their expertise in a dynamic and innovative environment. If you are passionate about advanced semiconductor technologies, high-speed networking, and full-chip integration, we encourage you to apply!
Responsibilities:
- Build up and manage Digital Design Team.
- Participate in all project stages: design, implementation, hardware/system bring-up and system/product delivery.
- Design / Modeling in SystemC or equivalent. Code RTL hardware and directed and random test-case development. Usage of coverage tools is expected.
- RTL verification or gate level (VHDL, C, SystemVerilog / UVM, formal proof…)
- Top level integration
- Work with third party vendors to define customization requirements of third party IPs.
- Work with the physical design teams, reviewing and providing guidance in floor planning, power analysis, synthesis and timing analysis.
- Collaborate with hardware and software teams to integrate microelectronic solutions.
- Work with the verification team on pre-silicon verification tasks such as reviewing the test plans, coverage analysis, full-chip simulation and emulation, performance and power analysis and debug.
- Stay updated with the latest advancements in microelectronics and apply them to projects.
Qualifications:
- Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Microelectronics, or a related field
- Minimum 5 years of experience in Digital Design activities.
- Strong knowledge of semiconductor ASIC design methodologies and flows.
- Extensive experience with RTL modeling (VHDL or Verilog), simulation, logic synthesis, and static timing analysis.
- Proficiency in CAD tools and simulation software (e.g., Cadence, SPICE) with hands-on experience in conducting simulations and testing to meet design specifications.
- Familiarity with front-end and back-end design flows, including synthesis, static timing analysis, floor planning, and timing closure.
- Solid understanding of semiconductor devices and fabrication processes.
- Proficiency in scripting languages such as Perl, Python, and Shell.
- Strong grasp of Design-for-Test (DFT) methodologies, including Scan and Built-In Self-Test (BIST).
- Experience in full-chip integration of complex SoC designs.
- Expertise in high-speed protocols, particularly Ethernet.
- Experience in architectural, micro-architectural, and register-level specifications.
- Background in one or more of the following domains: networking, embedded systems architecture, computer architecture, and machine learning accelerators.
- Ability to work effectively in a collaborative team environment.
- Strong communication skills in English.
