Digital IC Design Engineer | Sensing PS

About the role

As a Digital Design Engineer you will develop digital IP to be combined with industry leading analog technology to create cutting edge Sensing IC solutions. You will be a key team member from concept through product release and working closely with the top talent in the industry. You will architect and design the digital IP, be responsible for the RTL implementation, perform full chip and block level design verification, execute the full digital backend flow for various kinds of IC products for sensing applications like magnetic, inductive, current, etc. You will collaborate with the full product development team to get your product into high volume applications. This is a great opportunity to be part of an established team in Dallas, Texas that’s continuing to look for growth opportunities, working with worldwide leading customers and developing cutting edge solutions.

Responsibilities

• Handle the complete digital design flow (frontend and backend)
• Design logic circuits with System Verilog/Verilog for implementing FSMs, arithmetic for digital signal processing algorithms, communication interfaces, memory controllers, analog control for ADC’s, DAC’s and power management, internal test mode features, DFT, etc.
• Develop HDL test benches and design models to be used in Verification
• Perform all steps in backend flow: Synthesis, Place and Route, Post-Timing Analysis, ATPG etc.
• Simulate behavior/RTL/gate level designs
• Design for testability using ad-hoc / Full scan / Memory BIST and generating functional and production test vector for performing Scan Testing
• Discuss specifications with System Engineers and translate these into design requirements
• Provide high-level analysis on chip architecture trade-offs to ensure spec compliance and superior performance at a competitive cost
• Work with and provide guidance to physical designers and monitor the progress of IC layout
• Work closely with test and product engineers to ensure that design-for-test standards are considered up-front
• Collaborate closely with analog designers to define together the needed functionality and behavior
• Maintain and extend digital flow and evaluate new tools in close collaboration with the EDA
• Participate in design reviews and create the necessary design and product documentation
• Characterize prototypes, develop test specifications and coordinate with test/product engineering to drive product releases
• Get exposure to Design Verification & Analog Design through formal learning, projects and on-the-job development experiences that will help broaden knowledge and accelerate growth and success at TI

Qualifications

• Minimum requirements:
  • Masters degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Electrical and Computer Engineering or related field
  • 2 years of relevant experience
  • A thorough understanding of digital logic design
  • 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:
  • Experience with System Verilog
  • Demonstrated strong analytical and problem solving skills
  • Strong verbal and written communication skills
  • Ability to work in teams and collaborate effectively with people in different functions
  • Strong time management skills that enable on-time project delivery
  • Demonstrated ability to build strong, influential relationships
  • Ability to work effectively in a fast-paced and rapidly changing environment
  • Ability to take the initiative and drive for results
