ASIC Digital Design, Staff Engineer

- Seeking a highly motivated and innovative digital design engineer with excellent theoretical and practical background in high-speed data - recovery circuits.
- Working as part of a highly experienced mixed-signal design team, the candidate will be involved in designing and maintaining current and next generation PCIe Gen5, USB 2/3 SERDES, SATA, 10G-KR and HPC products.
- The position offers excellent opportunity to work with a professional team of digital and mixed signal designers responsible for delivering high-end mixed-signal designs from specification development to performing functional and performance tests on the test-chips.
- In addition, this is a great opportunity to work with a wide suite of in-house digital design and verification tools, including VCS, Design Compiler, PrimeTime, Tetramax and so on.

Key Qualifications

• Typically requires BS or MS plus at least 1-2 years of digital design experience in the industry as well as hands on experience in designing high-speed digital circuits, writing test-cases in Verilog and System Verilog, and familiarity with code quality metrics
• Deep understanding of asynchronous clock crossings, DFT design methodologies, and synthesis implications of RTL
• Knowledge of back-end synthesis tools DC/PT is a plus as are good organization and communication skills for interacting between different design groups and customer support teams
• Good learning ability and communication skill
• Good script skill as Perl, TCL

Preferred Experience

• Customer package creation and regression flow developed with Perl or TCL script
• RTL coding of high-speed digital circuits, modeling of analog blocks
• Writing verilog and system-verilog test-benches
• Synthesis, Defining place and route constraints, resolving STA issues and performing gate-level simulations
• Defining and debugging DFT structures in the designs for high DFT coverage
• Design Flow development as the DFT OCC, boundary scan flow, Spyglass flow
• Interacting with customer support and back-end design teams
