Digital Design Engineer - Automotive

About the role

You will join a team of expert analog/mixed-signal/digital designers and play a technical role as a digital design engineer for low power, high-speed SerDes IPs. You will be involved in the design, verification, and implementation of block and top level designs for high speed SerDes. These designs include interfaces to MIPI D-PHY and C-PHY transmitters and receivers, I2C, UART, SPI, RGMII, etc.

Key Qualifications

• Master’s degree with 7+ years of experience or Ph.D. with 4+ years of experience is typical
• Design and verification experience with complex digital designs using Verilog/SystemVerilog
• Verification of mixed signal systems, including behavioral modeling and gate-level simulations
• Experience architecting and planning designs at the system level, taking conceptual product definitions and translating to design implementations
• Knowledge of advanced mixed-signal SerDes transceiver architectures is a plus
• Excellent knowledge in communication theory
• Working knowledge of digital and analog circuit design trade-offs
• Familiarity with lab measurements and silicon debug
• Experience with timing analysis, power consumption, physical design and DFT concepts

Job Description

Architect and design digital sections of complex mixed signal ICs, which include high-speed serial interfaces and solutions for routing video data
Write block specifications and track execution at circuit-design level
Use Verilog/SystemVerilog to design digital blocks, subsystems, and top-level designs
Develop block level testbenches and verify block functionality.
Work with verification team for full verification and coverage closure.
Perform block and top level Linting, CDC, power analysis. Assist with synthesis constraints and timing closure.
Communicate effectively with circuit-designers and verification engineers to incorporate circuit nonidealities in system models
Work across the digital/analog boundary, including support of mixed-signal simulations and real number modeling
Work with technical leads and across multiple disciplines, including design, verification, test, product definition
