Requirements

Principal IC Design Engineer

As an experienced design engineer you will be capable of and comfortable with working autonomously. Your responsibilities will include:

• Design, IP integration, and verification planning and execution, with constant interaction with the rest of the design team
• Specifying and/or configuring designs
• Working closely with verification teams to develop plans and execute block-level and chip-level verification
• Assisting the implementation team with constraints development and timing closure

This role requires a good level of experience and a wide range of skills. The ideal candidate would have some or all of the following skills and experience:

• Hands-on experience working on complex SoC designs
• Experience of digital and physical silicon IP, such as processors, USB, PCIe, DDR SDRAM, Wi-Fi, SDIO/eMMC, MIPI CSI/DSI
• Experience of interconnect standards ACE, AXI, AHB, and APB
• Ability to form requirements and specify architectural features
• Expert-level Verilog/SystemVerilog for design and verification
• Familiarity with scripting languages (Bash, Python, Tcl, etc)

The following would also be useful:

• Experience of Cadence simulation tool flow
• Experience with ASIC/FPGA synthesis and implementation, embedded systems, DFT architecture and insertion, software development, scripting
