About The Position

As a Principal Digital Design Engineer, you will drive technical strategy and innovation for complex digital systems, including System on Chips (SoCs). You'll define product and technology roadmaps, lead architecture for mission-critical projects, and serve as a technical authority within the organization. This position requires exceptional expertise across multiple domains and the ability to influence business direction while mentoring and developing technical talent.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field.
• 8+ years of experience in digital design for ASIC/SoC, with track record of successful tapeouts.
• Expertise in RTL design (SystemVerilog), logic synthesis, and digital verification methodologies with Cadence tools.
• Experience with modeling and scripting (Matlab, TCL, Python) for design automation.
• Strong understanding of digital design flows, timing analysis, and constraints.
• Experience collaborating across functions (DV, PD, systems, analog/mixed-signal).
• Excellent communication and documentation skills.
• Demonstrated ability to lead technical projects or major design subsystems.
• Strong understanding of business context and ability to align technical strategy with business goals

Nice To Haves

• Experience with high-speed interfaces, high speed signal processing, and low-power design.
• Familiarity with UVM or similar verification frameworks.
• Prior mentorship or technical leadership experience.
• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or equivalent experience
• 12+ years of relevant experience in digital design engineering

Responsibilities

• Develop and maintain system-level models (e.g., in SystemVerilog, or MATLAB) to analyze architectural trade-offs, verify system behavior, and inform hardware/software partitioning.
• Own the architecture, micro-architecture, and RTL design of complex digital blocks and/or subsystems (such as signal processing functions, control, or processor subsystems) for mixed signal ICs.
• Collaborate closely with multi location teams such as system architects, analog designers, DV, physical design, product engineering, applications, and firmware teams to during architecture, design, evaluation, and release phases.
• Lead design reviews, participate in specification, and ensure alignment with broader project goals.
• Perform RTL coding (Verilog and SystemVerilog), synthesis, and lint/CDC analysis; drive designs to timing closure and area/power targets.
• Develop and execute verification plans in collaboration with DV, including functional coverage and support for simulation/debug.
• Analyze and resolve design, timing, and functional issues across the full digital development flow.
• Contribute to top-level integration, including interface definition, constraint development, and support for physical implementation for functional and DFT modes.
• Mentor and guide junior engineers, sharing expertise and promoting best practices.
• Author and maintain clear documentation, user guides, and design collateral.
• Stay current with industry trends and identify opportunities for process or technology improvement.
• Perform silicon lab evaluation and debug.
• Use Python applications to develop tests on evaluation platforms.

Benefits

• At Analog Devices, you'll be part of a collaborative and innovative team that's shaping the future of technology.
• We offer a supportive environment focused on professional growth, competitive compensation and benefits, work-life balance, and the opportunity to work on cutting-edge projects that make a real impact on the world.
• This position includes medical, vision and dental coverage, 401k, paid vacation, holidays, and sick time, and other benefits.
