Requisition ID: 76053
Description
Seeking a Digital Signal Processing (DSP) and Digital Design engineer to develop mixed-signal ICs for frequency control, clock generation, network synchronization, and other cutting edge timing applications. The candidate will be involved in the definition and implementation of complex digital algorithms to enable the next generation of high-performance timing products. For example, the candidate will participate in digital system architecture, block and system-level RTL design/coding, algorithm and firmware development, digital circuit back-end (e.g. synthesis, timing closure, P&R preparation, scan insertion), firmware development (some ICs include embedded processors), digital design verification, and full-chip mixed-signal verification. Responsibilities will also include detailed documentation, test vector development, lab test and evaluation, customer support, and other activities as required for the achievement of high-volume production.
Responsibilities

-Digital design specification, design, analysis, and HDL (Verilog) coding.
-Behavioral modeling of analog and mixed signal circuits.
-Digital back-end: synthesis, physical implementation (prep for P&R), static timing, scan insertion, etc.
-Verification of digital sub-systems, mixed-signal sub-systems, and the entire chip using a combination of digital models/RTL, firmware, and behavioral models. Test bench development.
-Validation of silicon functionality, behavior, and performance.
Required Experience and Skills
-Education Requirements
-style="list-style-type:circle"-
-BSEE + 5-year experience, or
-MSEE + 3-year experience, or
-PhD
-Minimum Requirements
-style="list-style-type:circle"-
-Strong motivation to contribute to all facets of chip design from conceptualization to release to production.
-Familiarity with DSP techniques and algorithms.
-Experience with Phase-Locked-Loops, Frequency Synthesizers or CDR circuits.
-Competence in high-level languages (e.g. Matlab, C), scripting languages (e.g. Tcl, Perl, Python, SKILL), and version control systems (e.g. Perforce, SVN, SOS).
-Working knowledge of System Verilog and/or UVM
-Working knowledge of digital IC circuit design in an HDL synthesis environment.
-Working knowledge of digital verification and testing techniques.
-Working knowledge of UNIX/LINUX operating systems
Desired Experience and Skills
One or more of the following skills are highly desirable:
-style="list-style-type:circle"-
-Experience with digital design at geometries ranging from 130-22 nm.
-Experience with digital IO interfaces such at I2C, SPI, etc.
-Experience leading a team of digital designers, either formally or informally.
-Experience with embedded processor design and firmware/software development, especially for 8051 or ARM cores.
-Competence in exploring digital and firmware system/architecture trade-offs such as memory size (ROM, RAM, FLASH, OTP, cache), clock speed, multiple clock domains, and the necessity for dedicated logic and DSP.
-Experience with memory generators and MBIST.
-Low power design and implementation techniques.
-Familiarity with quality systems documentation and procedures.
