Job Title: Senior SoC Designer
Role Overview:
We are seeking an experienced System-on-Chip (SoC) Digital Design engineer with 5-12 years of expertise for execution of advanced SoCs for embedded applications. The ideal candidate will have strong experience in ARM-based microcontrollers, low-power design techniques, and proficiency with multiple interfaces and security IPs. This is a hands-on role requiring strong technical expertise and collaboration in a fast-paced environment.
Key Responsibilities:
- Develop and own various SoC & subsystem design activities, including CPU subsystems, interconnects, and memory hierarchy, IP design/updates, optimizations, low power design etc.
- Hands-on design work: RTL coding, debugging and design reviews.
- Execute various RTL design related activities including Lint/CDC/LowPower design/CLP/Timing optimization etc for advanced SoCs.
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams like DV/Synthesis/DFT/PhysicalDesign and Software integration.
- Collaborate with teams in developing and improving flows for maximum reuse and efficiency.
- Mentor junior team members while actively collaborating with other teams for issue resolutions and sign-off.
- Ensure PPA optimization and compliance with industry standards.
Required Qualifications:
- Experience: 5-12 years in SoC design and participation with successful tape-outs of SoCs.
Technical Skills:
- Strong expertise in ARM-based microcontrollers and SoC integration and excellent debugging skills.
- Proficiency in RTL (Verilog/SystemVerilog), synthesis, timing closure.
- Comfortable working with Synthesis/STA/Physical Design/Package teams during SoC design
- Familiarity with EDA tools (Synopsys, Cadence).
- Familiarity / Knowledge of low-power design techniques.
- Experience with multiple interfaces like SPI, IC, UART, USB, PCIe, Ethernet, CAN, eSPI.
- Knowledge of various off-chip memory technologies like Flash memory, PSRAMs etc.
- Additional experience with cryptographic accelerators or security IPs.
- Familiarity with common Analog IPs used in microcontroller design (e.g., ADC, DAC, PLLs, LDOs) is a plus.
Soft Skills:
- Comfortable working in a fast-paced environment.
- Enthusiastic and strong team player, keen desire to learn new technologies convert ideas into reality and excellent communication skills.
Education: Bachelors or Master's in Microelectronics, Electronics, Electrical Engineering
