In this role, you will contribute to the design of system-on-chip (SoC) devices, digital signal processing blocks, and digital control logic that interface with high-performance ADCs, DACs, amplifiers, and power management circuitry, implemented in advanced CMOS technologies. You will play a key role in bringing digital subsystems from concept to production silicon, working closely with analog, verification, layout, and test teams to deliver robust, manufacturable designs.\nResponsibilities:\nDesign and implement digital subsystems and IP blocks for mixed-signal ICs from architecture through tape-out. \nDevelop RTL designs using Verilog and support integration into larger SoC environments. \nDesign and verify DSP, control, and data-path logic, including calibration and monitoring state machines. \nPerform functional verification, integration verification, and support UVM-based verification teams. \nContribute to behavioral and system modeling of digital and mixed-signal systems \nSupport post-silicon validation, characterization, and production test, including lab bring-up and silicon debug.\nCollaborate across disciplines to ensure correct interaction between digital logic and analog circuitry.\nParticipate in design reviews, tape-out readiness, and root-cause analysis for silicon or system issues.\nRequired Knowledge, Skills, and Experience:\nDegree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related technical field.\nBachelor’s with 7+ years of relevant digital IC design experience.\nMaster’s with 5+ years of relevant experience. \nPhD with 3+ years of relevant experience. \nStrong working knowledge of Verilog RTL design.\nSolid understanding of the digital design flow, including:\nMicroarchitecture and RTL development. \nClock and reset domain crossing.\nFunctional verification. \nTiming constraints and synthesis. \nExperience designing and verifying complex state machines and control logic. \nFamiliarity with CMOS VLSI design fundamentals. \nStrong analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills. \nAbility to work effectively in a team-based, fast-paced development environment.\nPreferred Knowledge, Skills, and Experience:\nExpertise or strong background in Digital Signal Processing (DSP). \nExperience implementing FIR and IIR filters and other signal-processing algorithms.\nFamiliarity with ARM-based SoCs, microprocessor subsystems, buses, and peripherals.\nExperience with mixed-signal IC development, including interaction between digital and analog circuitry.\nExposure to low-power and high-performance ASIC design techniques.\nExperience with back-end flows, including synthesis, place & route, and timing analysis.\nExperience generating test vectors and supporting production or probe test environments.\nProficiency with MATLAB, Simulink, or similar tools for modeling, algorithm development, and validation.\nStrong lab and silicon validation skills, including silicon debug and characterization.","description_format":"text","description_chars":3172,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":7,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United
