Responsibilities:

As a Senior Logic Design Engineer, you will be responsible for:

  • Developing micro-architecture specification of the logic circuit from reading and comprehending the Product Requirement Document (PRD)
  • Developing the Register Transfer Level (RTL) design from the micro-architecture specification using Verilog or SystemVerilog as the HDL
  • Developing standalone testbenches to verify the RTL behavior
  • Writing and verifying SystemVerilog Assertions (SVA) for a design
  • Writing timing constraints and clock definition for synthesis and place and route tools
  • Running industry-standard synthesis tools (e.g., Genus or Design Compiler) and being able to fix the timing problems if they arise
  • Understanding various design tradeoffs including timing/area/power and knowing how to improve them
  • Reading and understanding the Static Timing Analysis (STA) reports from an industry-standard STA tool (e.g., Prime Time)
  • Cross functional interactions and communication with various teams including analog, verification, backend, system and test engineering teams
  • Post-Si bring-up, validation and debugging


Qualifications & Requirements (Education must be included):  

Minimum Requirements:

  • Master’s degree in electrical engineering plus 5 years of relevant work experience in the industry 
  • Excellent verbal and written communication skills in English
  • Proficient in Verilog and SystemVerilog
  • Expertise in digital logic design fundamentals such as clock divider circuits, multi-clock logic designs, CDC, FIFO, FSM, etc
  • Experience in designing mixed-signal digital logic  
  • Basic understanding of Discrete time Signal Processing theory, FIR and IIR filter design
  • Solid experience in digital design flow including RTL design, synthesis, timing constraints, and STA
  • Skilled in scripting languages Perl/Tcl/Python


Desired Characteristics & Attributes:

Preferred qualifications:

  • PhD in electrical/computer engineering plus 3 years of relevant industry experience
  • 2-5 years of experience in designing high-precision digital arithmetic logic and Digital Signal Processing
  • 2-5 years of experience in designing Digital Phase-Locked Loops (DPLL)
  • Experience in complex FSM design
  • Familiarity with MATLAB, Simulink or any other high-level modeling tools
  • Experience in low-power digital design flow
  • Basic understanding of the Control Theory
