Lead DSP Engineer

• Collaborate with System Architects to refine requirements and improve DSP behavior at system level.
• Work with DFT Architects to ensure testability and seamless integration of DFT structures.
• Partner with IC integrators to define top-level constraints and support SoC integration.
• Support Backend (BE) teams for timing analysis, timing closure, and physical design iterations.

• Develop and maintain MATLAB/Python models for algorithm validation.
• Run simulations, analyze performance metrics, and support model-to-RTL equivalence.
• Contribute to tool flow improvements across DSP modeling, RTL implementation, and validation.

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics, Communication Engineering, or related field.
• 7+ years of experience in DSP design for communication systems.
• Strong fundamentals in digital signal processing, communication theory, and PHY layer technologies.
• Hands-on experience with PHY subsystems such as filtering, equalization, echo cancellation, PLLs, timing recovery, and noise mitigation.
• Proficiency in MATLAB, Simulink, Python, or C/C++ for algorithm modeling.
• Strong RTL design skills (Verilog/SystemVerilog).
• Familiarity with synthesis, linting, CDC, and STA flows.
• Experience supporting verification and post‐silicon debug.

• Experience in Automotive Ethernet PHY (100BASE‐T1, 1000BASE‐T1, or multi‐gig).
• Understanding of EMC/EMI challenges and automotive-grade requirements.
• Knowledge of DFT, ATPG, and scan architectures.
• Exposure to backend flows, timing constraints, and timing closure methodologies.
• Familiarity with formal verification and UVM-based environments.

• Strong analytical and problem‐solving skills.
• Excellent communication and documentation ability.
• Ability to work effectively in cross‐functional, global teams.
• Proactive mindset with the ability to drive tasks to closure.
