SENIOR SILICON DESIGN ENGINEER THE ROLE:

This is an exciting opportunity to join the innovative and multi-award winning team that has developed the RF data converter sub-system, including direct-RF digital signal processing, around which Xilinx Zynq Ultrascale+ RFSoC is built. As part of the Analog and Digital-RF design group you will be working on leading-edge digital communications developments in advanced mixed-signal environment using the latest 7nm and 16nm FinFET CMOS processes.

The role requires a digital design engineer to work on front-end digital design flow including RTL design and optimization, verification, and synthesis. This will involve interactions with the analog design team, digital verification team, synthesis and place-and-route team. The successful candidate will contribute to the technical development of the team and help maintain best design practices.

THE PERSON:

A successful candidate will work closely with senior and principal silicon design engineers. The candidate will be highly accurate and detail-oriented, possessing good communication and problem solving skills with a strong desire to learn and grow technically.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Solid front end design experience in a modern IC / ASIC design environment
• Experience with tools and design flows including RTL design and verification, CDC checking, linting, DFx, power estimation and design for low power
• Strong knowledge of SystemVerilog and logic design concepts
• Good written and oral communication skills
• Strong problem solving skills
• Ability to work well as part of a collaborative multi site interdisciplinary team
• Understanding of physical design flows including synthesis, STA, P&R
• Awareness of physical implementation constraints on design and design optimization

PREFERRED EXPERIENCE:

• Exposure to high speed wireless communications
