About The Position

As a Staff Digital Design Engineer in the Digital Business Unit, you will lead complex ASIC design projects and provide technical leadership for system-level architecture. Working with an experienced, cross-functional team, you will translate customer and system requirements into robust digital implementations for advanced technologies spanning AI datacenter power control, next-generation memory-test solutions, industrial automation, and consumer audio and health-monitoring products. You will influence product direction, guide methodology improvements, and lead small technical teams from architecture through implementation and signoff.

Requirements

ASIC and RTL Design - Deep experience designing complex digital logic for ASICs, including synthesizable SystemVerilog RTL
System Architecture - Expert ability to define, partition, and implement complex digital system architectures and microarchitectures
Design and Signoff Flows - Hands-on experience with simulation and debug, synthesis, static timing analysis, constraints, and related front-end quality checks
Technical Leadership - Demonstrated ability to set technical direction, lead design reviews, resolve complex issues, and guide engineering teams
Multi-Domain Expertise - Deep knowledge across multiple technical domains relevant to digital design, integration, and hardware-software interaction
Methodology Expertise - Authority in digital design methodologies with the ability to improve quality, efficiency, reuse, and predictability
Cross-Functional Collaboration - Strong verbal and written communication skills and a proven ability to collaborate across system, verification, physical design, firmware, and product teams

Nice To Haves

Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field; a Master's degree or PhD is preferred
Typically 8-12 years of relevant digital design experience, including substantial ASIC development experience
Demonstrated success delivering digital designs through architecture, RTL implementation, verification, synthesis, timing closure, and physical-design collaboration
Basic understanding of how to use AI for coding and scripting

Responsibilities

Define and develop system-level architectures and microarchitectures for complex digital ASIC designs
