This role can also be available working out of their Lausanne (Switzerland), Northampton (UK) or Dortmund (Germany) offices.
Responsibilities
* Define block- and top-level specifications for high-speed digital circuits that meet performance targets based on system-level requirements.
* Review and challenge architectural specifications to ensure robustness and efficiency.
* Specify analog/digital interfaces in close collaboration with analog and mixed-signal design teams.
* Design, implement, and test RTL code.
* Collaborate closely with verification and physical-implementation engineers to ensure functionality, timing, area, and power goals are met.
* Support post-silicon activities, including lab bring-up, debugging, characterization, and productization.
* Manage workload and schedules, providing regular updates to internal teams and external stakeholders.
Requirements
* Master’s degree in Electrical or Electronics Engineering (or equivalent/higher qualification).
* 5+ years of experience in the semiconductor industry.
* Strong technical background in designing high-speed digital circuits using advanced CMOS technologies.
* Exposure to analog-design techniques (a plus).
* Familiarity with industry-standard EDA tools (e.g., Cadence) is beneficial.
* Hands-on design experience in PHY design for high-speed interfaces (e.g., USB4, PCIe) preferred.
* Advanced knowledge of high-speed and low-power digital design techniques.
* Familiarity with signal-processing techniques (a plus).
* Proficiency in scripting and tool automation (e.g., Python, Tcl).
* Solid understanding of clock-domain crossing (CDC) concepts and mitigation techniques.
* Experience analysing synthesis and static-timing-analysis (STA) results.
* Knowledge of verification methodologies (e.g., UVM) is an advantage.
