Digital Design Engineer

As a Digital Design Engineer in Silicon Labs, you will be working as part of the digital design team developing highly integrated mixed signal SoC’s for low power MCU and Wireless products. You will be working with a state of the art IC design flow, all the way from initial idea to implementation. You should be highly motivated and self-driven, and you will be working in a team with other highly talented people. We are searching for both senior- as well as recently graduated engineers.

Responsibilities

• Detailed block architecture/design of digital circuits
• • In-depth understanding of block requirements, system needs, and interfaces
  • Develop block specification, working with cross-functional teams to develop requirements
  • Determine appropriate design approach and partitioning
  • Implement design  through RTL coding, adhering to quality guidelines
• SoC Integration
• • Integration of digital blocks / IP into the SoC infrastructure
  • Development of SoC infrastructure, such as bus matrix, memory interfaces, clocking, power management, reset management
  • Integration of mixed signal IP
• Verification
• • Block level verification to validate block performance with adherence to requirements using directed, random, and assertion based methods
  • SoC integration and infrastructure verification
  • Verification of mixed-signal IP integration, including mixed-signal modeling and cosimulation
  • Develop embedded firmware to verify SoC Integration using chip level simulations. 
• Documentation
• • Perform requirement-, architecture-, design-, and verification reviews
  • Develop customer facing reference manual and datasheet material

Requirements

• MS or BS in Electrical Engineering, or equivalent
• Knowledge of System-On-Chip or ASIC design, tools, and methodologies
• Knowledge of microcontrollers, ideally ARM CortexM based is a plus
• Knowledge of software/firmware languages (C)
• Experience with hardware description languages (e.g. Verilog, SystemVerilog)
• Knowledge of verification methods (e.g., logic simulation, testbench development, performance verification, coverage analysis, power analysis, DMS, mixed signal)
• Knowledge of scripting languages (e.g. Java, python, perl, TcL)

For a senior position, these are the additional requirements

• Minimum of four years of digital design experience
• Strong knowledge of System-On-Chip or ASIC design, tools, and methodologies
• Physical design skills a plus, including logic and physical synthesis, static timing analysis, auto place and route flows
• Design for Testability skills a plus  (e.g., controllability and observability through test modes, scan test, ATPG) 

Personal Profile

We are looking for a person with the following personal qualities:

• Enthusiastic, creative and innovative
• Excellent analytical and system troubleshooting skills
• Good written and oral communication skills
• Team player

Please include in your application: motivation letter, CV, transcript of grades and reference letters.

Thank you.
