• Support analysis of specifications, simulations, timing, power, area, integration, defects, risks, dependencies, and technical tradeoffs.
• Debug design, simulation, integration, verification, implementation, and product issues; perform root-cause analysis within approved scope.
• Review requirements, architectures, RTL, circuits, models, constraints, results, changes, and release evidence for technical quality.
• Drive design reuse, automation, quality, reliability, efficiency, and continuous improvement.
• Coordinate outcomes across architecture, design, verification, DFT, implementation, package, product, test, manufacturing, and CAD teams.
• Maintain specifications, design records, review evidence, configuration, and lifecycle documentation.

Benefits

• Competitive base pay, restricted stock units, and quarterly bonus payments.
• Health benefits beginning on day one.
• Retirement savings plans.
• Employee stock purchase plan (ESPP) with a 2-year look-back feature.
