Copy of Principal Mixed Signal RTL Design Engineer

TYLsemi • San Jose, CA

11d

About The Position

Lead the micro-architecture and RTL design for Mixed-Signal chiplet focused on intelligent power optimization solutions for AI and high-performance computing.

Requirements

• Strong mixed-signal background: Solid understanding of power circuits and digital control systems, digital filters etc.
• Proven experience converting control algorithms into clean, synthesizable RTL (HDL Coder or hand-coded Verilog/SystemVerilog).
• Deep knowledge of digital PID implementation challenges: quantization, sampling effects, computational delay, fixed-point arithmetic, and limit cycling.
• Familiarity with high-frequency power converter control and digital PWM modulators (DPWM).
• Experience with mixed-signal verification flows (analog-digital co-simulation).
• Good understanding of analog effects impacting digital control: loop delay, sensor non-idealities, inductor non-linearities, PDN resonances.
• Proficiency in digital design tools: Synopsys VCS, Verdi, Design Compiler, PrimeTime (or equivalent Cadence flow).
• BSEE / MSEE or PhD with 8+ years of relevant experience in power management ICs or high-performance mixed-signal design.

Nice To Haves

• Prior experience designing digital controllers for integrated voltage regulators (IVRs), point-of-load (PoL) converters, or high-current AI/HPC power delivery.
• Experience with formal verification or assertion-based mixed-signal verification.

Responsibilities

• Micro-architect and own toplevel RTL for Mixed-signal chip with analog circuits, micro-controller and other logic functions
• Architect, and implement digital PID / cascade control loops (voltage-mode, current-mode, or hybrid) for high-frequency multi-phase IVRs.
• Develop micro-architecture and implement RTL for control of mixed-signal circuits
• Translate validated MATLAB/Simulink controller models into production-quality RTL (Verilog / SystemVerilog) using HDL Coder or manual high-quality coding.
• Design and implement supporting digital blocks: ADC interface, DPWM (digital PWM)
• Collaborate closely with analog designers on loop compensation, sensor design, quantization effects, and delay budgeting.
• Analyze and optimize for area, power, timing, and metastability in the digital controller across PVT corners.
• Support silicon bring-up, debug, and controller on lab hardware.
