Digital Design Engineer I

Meet the Team 

You’ll join the Wireless MCU – Digital Design team, which is responsible for the integrated circuit (IC) design of digital components across the entire system-on-chip (SoC). The team’s work spans from architecture and design through verification, ensuring that each block integrates seamlessly into high-performance, low-power SoCs. By combining digital and analog expertise, the team drives innovation in embedded systems for a wide range of wireless applications. 

Responsibilities 

• Contribute to the digital IC design and development of system-on-chip (SoC) architectures for wireless microcontroller products. 

• Design, implement, and validate digital logic blocks for integration into complex mixed-signal SoC solutions. 

• Apply knowledge of VLSI design principles to support block-level and system-level digital design activities, including RTL development and integration. 

• Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including analog design, verification, firmware, and systems engineers, to deliver high-quality silicon solutions. 

• Develop models, simulations, and verification plans to ensure functionality, performance, and design quality. 

• Analyze design results, debug issues, and support root-cause investigations throughout the development lifecycle. 

• Participate in design reviews and technical discussions, providing recommendations to improve design quality, methodologies, and development efficiency. 

• Support silicon bring-up, validation, and characterization activities as needed. 

Skills You Need 

Minimum Qualifications 

• Bachelor's, Master's, or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related technical field. 

• Academic or project experience in VLSI design, digital IC design, digital embedded systems, computer architecture, or SoC development. 

• Understanding of digital design fundamentals, including RTL design, finite state machines, timing concepts, and digital logic implementation. 

• Experience with hardware description languages such as Verilog or SystemVerilog through coursework, research, internships, or project work. 

• Strong problem-solving, analytical, and debugging skills. 

• Ability to work effectively in a collaborative engineering environment and communicate technical concepts clearly. 

The following skills will be considered a plus: 

• Internship, co-op, research, or project experience related to digital IC design, SoC development, or semiconductor product development. 

• Exposure to digital verification methodologies, simulation tools, and verification environments. 

• Experience with industry-standard EDA tools for design, synthesis, timing analysis, or verification. 

• Knowledge of embedded systems, microcontroller architectures, or wireless communication systems. 

• Exposure to mixed-signal design concepts and integration of analog and digital subsystems. 

• Participation in engineering competitions, technical organizations, open-source hardware projects, or relevant student leadership activities.
