About the Role
As a Senior Digital Design Engineer, you will design and integrate high-performance connectivity silicon for the next generation of AI infrastructure. You will contribute across architecture, micro-architecture, RTL implementation, synthesis, timing closure, and IP integration for PCIe and Ethernet controllers, bridges, switches, and related SerDes interfaces. Your work will enable reliable, high-bandwidth connections among CPUs, GPUs, memory, storage, and networking devices in rack-scale AI systems.
Responsibilities
- Develop micro-architecture and implement synthesizable RTL for high-performance PCIe or Ethernet controllers, bridges, switches, and SerDes-related IP.
- Translate architecture and protocol requirements into scalable designs using SystemVerilog and Verilog.
- Own block-level and full-chip design deliverables from specification through implementation and GDS handoff.
- Contribute to designs at advanced process nodes of 16 nm or smaller, including PCIe Gen 6/7, UALink, or UCI-based connectivity where applicable.
- Integrate controller, SerDes, processor, peripheral, and other IP while partnering with RTL, physical design, DFT, verification, and firmware teams.
- Drive synthesis, timing analysis, timing closure, clock-domain crossing, lint, and design-quality reviews.
- Support gate-level simulation, emulation, and pre-silicon and post-silicon design implementation activities.
- Contribute to top-level integration, floor-planning discussions, PAD planning, and DFT implementation.
- Collaborate with verification and system teams to assess verification completeness, debug design issues, and close implementation gaps.
- Partner with firmware and embedded software teams to define and validate hardware-software interfaces.
- Use Synopsys and Cadence design and analysis tools, along with Python or Perl scripting, to improve design productivity and automation.
- Communicate technical status, risks, and tradeoffs clearly while managing multiple priorities with appropriate ownership and urgency.
Requirements
- Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, or a related field.
- 2 - 5 years of experience in digital design and implementation for complex SoC or silicon products.
- Hands-on experience developing RTL in SystemVerilog or Verilog, including synthesis and timing closure.
- Experience with PCIe or Ethernet controller, bridge, switch, PCS, PHY, or SerDes design and IP integration.
- Experience with front-end design, gate-level simulation, clock-domain crossing, lint, or related design-quality methodologies.
- Experience using Python or Perl to automate design, integration, or analysis workflows.
- Ability to collaborate effectively across design, verification, physical design, DFT, firmware, and system teams.
- Authorized to work in Canada.
