Technical Staff Engineer-Design

Job Description

The Wireless Solutions Group is seeking an experienced Design Engineer for our next generation high-performance, low-power wireless SoC and attach solutions. In this role, you will be responsible for the design of System-on-Chip (SOC) solutions for wireless applications. You will collaborate closely with cross-functional teams, including verification, analog, validation, and software engineers, to deliver high-quality products.

Key Responsibilities

• Contribute to SOC design from concept to tape-out.
• Implement SOC designs according to micro-architecture specifications and design documentation, performing RTL coding, synthesis, timing analysis, and executing the SOC design flow to ensure IC qualification meets required standards.
• Collaborate with verification teams to ensure thorough design verification according to test plans.
• Work with physical design teams to ensure successful integration and implementation.
• Participate in design reviews to ensure compliance with design standards and project requirements.
• Support the validation team in qualifying silicon ICs and debugging potential issues.
• Contribute to the development and optimization of low-power design techniques and power estimation methodologies.
• Interfacing with external vendors and IP sources to resolve problems.

Requirements/Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in computer engineering, electrical engineering, or related field.
• Minimum 12+ years of experience in digital SOC design, with a focus on low-power design.
• Proficient in RTL design (Verilog/System Verilog), Low-power design, synthesis, timing constraint (SDC) and timing analysis.
• Experience with ASIC design flow including LINT, Formal, CDC/RDC, power estimations, MBIST/DFT concepts, and low-power design techniques.
• Strong understanding of SOC architecture (ARM/MIPS), bus protocols (AMBA, AXI, etc.), and peripheral IPs (USB, Ethernet, I2C, SPI, etc.).
• Experience with Bus Matrix design.
• Experience with script Language such as TCL, Perl, and Python.
• Excellent English reading, writing and verbal communication skills.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.

Preferred Skills And Experience

• Master’s degree in computer engineering, electrical engineering, or related field.
• Knowledge of Bluetooth/BLE/Wi-Fi communication theory and standard specifications.
• Knowledge of security features and principles of functional safety–compliant design.
• Experience with verification methodologies (UVM/OVM).
• Experience with validation methodologies, including debugging on FPGA and silicon IC boards.
