Our group develops MCU and DSP systems as well as hardware accelerators that are used in a large variety of different products and markets.

The Role

We are expanding the team to India and are looking for a Senior Principal IC Design Engineer with experience in the development of embedded MCU/DSP systems. You will develop and benchmark such systems for a variety of processor cores and consult the product integration teams during the integration of these solutions into semiconductor products.

Strong ability to translate Specifications to Microarchitecture

Strong understanding of core digital design concepts: FSM, Timing diagrams, Combination/ sequential circuits, timing analysis

Proficiency in Verilog/Systemverilog

Familiarity with tools like Lint, CDC, RDC, DC (Design Compiler)

Experience with standard interfaces:

APB, AHB, AXI

SPI, I2C, DMA

Experience in MCU/CPU subsystems like ARM processor

Experience is design techniques like

Pipelining, Low latency, Power optimization

Experience in Technical documentation for specification, design, waveform

Scripting/Automation languages:

Python, PERL

Have also some experiences in mentoring younger engineers and leading small projects or methodology aspects

Writing specifications based on high-level requirements

Nice to Have:

• Understanding of DFT, FuSa, Cryptography, Security

• Low Power design techniques

Why Join Us

We create a diverse set of world-class products in a friendly and team-oriented atmosphere. We provide an environment of continual learning and growth opportunities and support volunteer & charitable programs. We offer competitive benefit package and a great place to work. You will be able to build up a career in a successful international company, and you can participate in interesting international projects.

What You’ll Do

• Lead project activities and mentor less experienced engineers
• Architect, specify, implement, simulate, and benchmark MCU and DSP systems as well as hardware accelerators
• Contribute to design methodology and design flow improvements
• Consult the product integration teams in the definition, the integration and use of these systems
• Participate to the verification and FPGA prototyping of these systems
• Coordinate the SDK development with the software team

What You’ll Need

• Minimum BS/MS in Electrical Engineering or a related technical field
• At least 10+ of relevant work experience in semiconductor product development, including engineering leadership
• Experience with embedded CPUs (e.g. ARM Cortex, DSP), AMBA bus protocols (AHB/APB)
• RTL design of digital IP blocks and systems in Verilog/SystemVerilog
• Experience in technical project/task leadership
• Knowledge of design intents (timing constraints/SDC, power intent/UPF)
• Strong technical document writing skills
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills in English

What Else You May Bring

• Experience in some of the following areas is a plus:
• Design of CPU/MCU (sub)systems, SystemRDL or IP-XACT
• Programming in Python for automation and in C/C++ for embedded software
• Design of accelerators and signal processing components
• RTL to GDS flow, including logic synthesis, place-and-route, STA, power analysis
• Advanced digital verification methodology (e.g. UVM)
