Digital Design Engineer - Automotive

Digital Design Engineer

In this position, 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 include:

• 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 includes:

• 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

Minimum qualifications: Masters of Science plus 7 years of relevant experience or Ph.D. plus 4 years of relevant experience.
