Senior Digital IC Design Engineer
We’re partnered with a well‑established mixed‑signal semiconductor company that is looking to hire a Senior Digital IC Design Engineer into its Cambridge team. This isn’t a narrow RTL‑only role. Digital is the core of the chip, and you’ll have end‑to‑end involvement from concept and architecture, through FPGA emulation and lab bring‑up, to silicon.
Location: Cambridge, UK
Competitive salary plus benefits | Sponsorship available.
Responsibilities
* End‑to‑end RTL design using Verilog/SystemVerilog
* Design synchronous and asynchronous state machines and control logic
* Work on analog/digital partitioning and functional modelling
* FPGA emulation, lab validation, post‑design analysis, and place & route support
* Collaborate closely with analog, systems, and test teams
Qualifications
* 38+ years of digital IC design experience (flexible on seniority)
* Strong RTL design skills and solid grasp of asynchronous and synchronous systems
* Comfortable getting hands‑on with lab equipment and oscilloscopes
* Inquisitive mindset, ownership mentality, and interest in system‑level design
* Familiarity or interest in DFT, synthesis, and P&R flows
Why this role stands out
* You won’t just hand off RTL and hope for the best.
* You’ll work across analog/digital partitioning, fault detection logic, state machines, telemetry, and system control.
* You’ll be in the lab, proving your ideas on real silicon, not just simulations.
* You’ll develop breadth, not just depth: the digital cores are the nexus of these mixed‑signal chips, tying everything together.
Why join?
* Work on real silicon where your designs are central to the product.
* True end‑to‑end ownership, not just front‑end RTL.
* Hands‑on lab work and exposure to analog/digital interaction.
* Sponsorship and relocation support available.
* Opportunity to grow into a systems engineering role over time (if you want to).
