Semtech Corporation is a leading supplier of analog and mixed-signal semiconductors for high-end consumer, enterprise computing, communications, and industrial equipment. As our future market opportunities have increased in recent years, we have continued to invest in disruptive analog platforms and have created innovative new solutions for a wide range of leading edge products. The Sensing Product Group located in our San Diego office has unique expertise in system level platform solutions for Sensing Products including Touch & Proximity. These are leading edge low power touch-interface solutions integrated with highly accurate ADCs for enhanced sensing performance. These ultra-small, feature-rich sensing systems are optimized for a wide range of battery-powered, portable applications such as smartphones, laptops, tablets, wearables, handheld devices and other consumer or ITA control applications. The Sr. Digital Integrated Circuit (IC) Design Engineer is responsible for designing, developing and validating a variety of digital integrated circuit blocks and systems. Ahead of detailed design, the Sr. Digital IC Design Engineer will actively participate in the definition of the chip, systems, and blocks including interactions with application, system, embedded firmware, analog, and cross functional teams. The role also includes innovation & technical leadership, mentoring and supervision of junior engineers, pre-silicon and post-silicon validations or their supervision, support to application and production test engineers, and definition of test methodology.

  • Define, develop, verify and optimize complex digital circuits for low-power mixed-signal circuits.
  • Design digital hardware functions and sub/full systems in RTL code using SystemVerilog, Verilog or VHDL.
  • Collaborate with system design to create digital specification definition.
  • Implement design for testability (scan chain, BIST, boundary scan) and diagnosis features to support hardware testing.
  • Generate technical documentation and drive design reviews.
  • Define constraints, perform logic synthesis, implement or supervise physical design for timing closure, perform DFT insertion and create test vectors, perform static timing closure.
  • Support development of comprehensive verification plans and testbenches, including functional verification, RTL and gate-level simulations, timing analysis, and top verification.
  • Define and implement pre-silicon digital hardware emulation and FPGA prototyping.
  • Support silicon lab evaluation, performance characterization and debug.
  • Interface with system, embedded firmware, analog, verification and cross functional teams.
  • Mentor and supervise junior engineers.
  • Provide technical support to test, product and application engineers.
  • 10+ years of industry experience in digital integrated circuit design.
  • B.S. or M.S. in Electrical or Computer Engineering.
  • Strong analytical, synthesis and problem solving skills.
  • In-depth knowledge and experience in digital IC development for mixed-signal ICs, frontend-to-backend flow, timing closure, HW-SW architectures and co-design, data path, signal processing, low-power techniques, constraints development, timing analysis, system trade-offs (power, speed, hardware resources, area).
  • Strong background with MCU based hardware systems (ARM, RISC-V, PIC, STM32) with memories, digital micro-architecture, interfaces, and dedicated hardware peripherals.
  • Proficiency in SystemVerilog/Verilog/VHDL, scripting languages (Python, Perl, tcl), debugging capabilities, and industry leading digital EDA tools (Synopsys, Cadence, Siemens).
  • Knowledge of verification methodologies and tools (SystemVerilog, UVM/OVM, formal verification).
  • Demonstration of technical leadership and innovation.
  • Experience with standard hardware protocols (I2C, I3C, SPI, MIPI).
  • Hands-on experience with development boards, FPGAs, logic analyzers, oscilloscopes, supplies, multimeters and the associated measurement methods.
  • Independent, self-motivated, rigorous, innovating, team player and able to follow through.
  • Excellent verbal and written communication skills.
  • Knowledge of system-level aspects: signal processing, mixed-signal, embedded firmware, analog, modelling, test and application.
  • Experience with system design methods & tools, Matlab, etc.
  • Experience with consumer and/or ITA market circuit developments.
  • A reasonable estimate of the pay range for this position is $120,000 - $183,000.
