Job Description

We are looking for a hands-on Digital Design Engineering Manager to drive high-speed connectivity solutions. You will build and lead a team responsible for delivering the micro-architecture and implementation of front-end digital design, including RTL development, synthesis, IP integration, and block-level verification for high-performance ASICs.

The ideal candidate should have strong experience with low-power design techniques and a solid understanding of SerDes DSP design, including equalizer optimization for power and area efficiency.

The candidate must also have a good knowledge of communication and interface protocols such as CXL/PCIe (Gen 3 and above), Ethernet, or DDR.

Basic qualifications:

• Strong academic and technical background in electrical engineering. A Bachelor’s degree in EE is required, and a Master’s degree is preferred.
• 10+ years’ experience supporting or developing complex SoC/silicon products for Server, Storage, and/or Networking applications.
• 5+ years’ experience managing a team of RTL design engineers.
• Professional attitude with the ability to prioritize a dynamic list of multiple tasks, plan and prepare for customer meetings in advance, and work with minimal guidance and supervision.
• Entrepreneurial, open-mind behavior and can-do attitude. Think and act fast with the customer in mind!
• Authorized to work in Canada and start immediately.

Required experience:

• Hands-on, thorough knowledge of high-speed DPSs and SerDes equilizers.
• Hands-on, thorough knowledge of high-speed protocols like CXL/PCIe, Ethernet, or DDR.
• Proven front end design expertise – architecture, RTL, simulations, synthesis, timing closure, GLS, DFT etc.
• Experience with Cadence and/or Synopsys digital design tools/flows
• Experience with scripting and automation, with a strong methodology background.
• Good knowledge of design for test (DFT), stuck-at and transition scan test insertion
• Familiarity with UVM based design verification
• Silicon bring-up and debug expertise
• Small-geometry CMOS (≤28nm) design

Preferred experience:

• Firmware development with C-language, scripting with Python or other equivalent programming languages.
• Development/support for PCIe or Ethernet Switch products.

The base salary range is CAD 200,000 – CAD 250,000. Your base salary will be determined based on your location, experience, and the pay of employees in similar positions.
