Senior Staff/Principal Engineer, Digital Design (Power & Analog ICs)

Translate product and circuit requirements into robust digital microarchitecture and detailed block specifications.

Design optimized RTL for control, sequencing, protection, diagnostics, trimming, communication, test, and low-power functions within power and analog ICs.

Own block-level integration and contribute to chip-level digital architecture, interfaces, clocking, reset, power-state, and register-map decisions.

Make and document trade-offs across functionality, area, power, testability, timing, reuse, and implementation risk.

Develop synthesizable Verilog/SystemVerilog RTL, synthesis scripts, timing constraints, and implementation collateral.

Own or guide synthesis, lint, CDC/RDC, low-power checks, static timing analysis, and handoff to physical design.

Support DFT architecture and implementation, including scan insertion, ATPG enablement, test modes, and production-test requirements.

Work with place-and-route teams on timing closure, congestion, power, and post-layout issues.

Collaborate with verification engineers on verification planning, assertions, coverage, debug, and specification closure.

Develop directed tests, reference checks, or test vectors where useful to accelerate design validation and production-test development.

Support gate-level and post-layout verification, silicon bring-up, device evaluation, failure analysis, and root-cause investigation.

Develop and document practical workarounds where device errata or silicon limitations require them.

Drive reusable RTL, design methodology, coding standards, review practices, and automation across projects.

Mentor junior and mid-level digital engineers and lead architecture, RTL, and implementation reviews.

Identify technical and schedule risks early and communicate clear options and recommendations to project leadership.

Collaborate effectively with analog, applications, test, layout, CAD, and product teams across global locations.

Bachelor or Masters degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related discipline.

10+ years of relevant experience in digital design, RTL development, and implementation for semiconductor products.

Deep hands-on experience in logic design, microarchitecture, Verilog/SystemVerilog RTL coding, synthesis, and static timing analysis.

Experience designing digital control logic embedded in PMICs, power-management, automotive, audio, or other mixed-signal integrated circuits.

Strong understanding of clocks, resets, low-power states, finite-state machines, register interfaces, fault handling, and hardware-software interaction.

Hands-on experience developing block-level and top-level timing constraints for STA and physical-design sign-off.

Working knowledge of DFT, scan insertion, ATPG, test modes, CDC/RDC analysis, lint, and gate-level verification.

Experience with scripting and automation using TCL, Python, Perl, shell, or similar languages.

Proven ability to own complex design blocks, influence chip-level decisions, mentor engineers, and lead technical reviews.

Self-driven, results-oriented, and able to deliver high-quality designs under tight schedules in a multisite and multicultural environment.
