Job Details

As a Principal Engineer/Manager, Digital Design SoC, you will be leading with a small team of design engineers to develop novel SoC products for connectivity and communications. You will also be a key contributor to product definition and resulting detailed device performance and functional requirements specifications. You will support other discipline teams to bring the SoC device to successful mass production.

This full-time position is based in San Jose, CA.

Key Responsibilities

  • Review and contribute to SoC system architecture and product specifications
  • Technical leadership supporting team resource planning, project scheduling and tracking
  • Perform all aspects of complex SoC design flow from micro-architecture definitions, CPU/bmemory sub-system design, IP integration, and verification through physical implementation
  • Work with IP/Design Verification/Firmware/Software System/Production teams to provide necessary support for timely closure of SoC design and implementation issues

Job Requirements

  • MS/Ph.D. in EE or equivalent and 20 or more years of experience in SoC development and mass production
  • Knowledge of ARM/RISC Architectures, Multi-core CPU operation and system memory partition/hierarchy
  • Experience with AMBA AXI/AHB/APB Protocol bus architecture specification and implementation
  • Thorough knowledge of Verilog/VHDL/System Verilog languages and front-end tools such as simulation, linting, clock-domain crossing checking, formal verification
  • Proven knowledge of constraint definition, synthesis, static timing analysis and complete Front to Back SoC design/implementation flow
  • Understanding of SCAN ATPG, BIST, DFT/DFM and fault coverage analysis
  • Proven knowledge of System Verilog/UVM methodology and other advanced design verification techniques
  • Proficiency of programming/scripting languages such as C/C++, Perl, Tcl, and Python
  • Great collaborator and team player with effective communication/presentation skills and aggressive schedule/quality result driven mentality
