About the Role
Join the Wireless MCU – Digital Design team, responsible for the integrated circuit (IC) design of digital components across the system-on-chip (SoC). The team drives innovation in embedded systems for a wide range of wireless applications by combining digital and analog expertise.
Responsibilities
- Contribute to the digital IC design and development of system-on-chip (SoC) architectures for wireless microcontroller products.
- Design, implement, and validate digital logic blocks for integration into complex mixed-signal SoC solutions.
- Apply knowledge of VLSI design principles to support block-level and system-level digital design activities, including RTL development and integration.
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including analog design, verification, firmware, and systems engineers, to deliver high-quality silicon solutions.
- Develop models, simulations, and verification plans to ensure functionality, performance, and design quality.
- Analyze design results, debug issues, and support root-cause investigations throughout the development lifecycle.
- Participate in design reviews and technical discussions, providing recommendations to improve design quality, methodologies, and development efficiency.
- Support silicon bring-up, validation, and characterization activities as needed.
Requirements
- Bachelor's, Master's, or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related technical field.
- Academic or project experience in VLSI design, digital IC design, digital embedded systems, computer architecture, or SoC development.
- Understanding of digital design fundamentals, including RTL design, finite state machines, timing concepts, and digital logic implementation.
- Experience with hardware description languages such as Verilog or SystemVerilog through coursework, research, internships, or project work.
- Strong problem-solving, analytical, and debugging skills.
- Ability to work effectively in a collaborative engineering environment and communicate technical concepts clearly.
