Job Description

Join our team as Principal Digital Design Engineer to architect and implement next-generation digital designs for high-performance connectivity solutions. You'll own complex blocks from micro-architecture through silicon bring-up, driving RTL implementation and collaborating with verification, PD and DFT teams to deliver high performance products in a fast-paced, collaborative environment.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop and implement complex digital blocks and subsystems by defining micro-architecture and driving digital design.
• Collaborate with verification teams to develop test plans, achieve coverage closure, and debug complex issues.
• Lead efforts to achieve timing closure and implement Design-for-Test (DFT) features for optimal design performance.
• Work closely with post-silicon teams to facilitate silicon bring-up and debug.
• Mentor junior engineers to develop their technical skills and expertise.
• Actively contribute to the development and improvement of silicon development processes.
• Drive designs to production, ensuring accountability for quality, schedule, and overall design success.

Required Qualifications:

Education & Experience:

• Bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering or equivalent.
• 8+ years of hands-on experience developing complex SoC/silicon products in Server, Storage, and/or Networking markets

Digital Design Expertise:

• Architecture definition and micro-architecture development
• RTL coding, functional simulation, and synthesis
• Timing closure and gate-level simulation (GLS)
• Design for test (DFT) implementation
• Production experience with advanced CMOS nodes (≤7nm)

Protocols & Integration:

• Deep expertise in at least one high-speed protocol—PCIe , Ethernet, Infiniband, DDR, or similar
• Third-party IP integration and verification.
• Block-level design ownership from architecture through GDS

Tools & Methodologies:

• Proficiency with Cadence and/or Synopsys digital design flows
• Familiarity with UVM-based verification methodologies.
• Silicon bring-up, debug, and failure analysis expertise

Professional Attributes:

• Strong work ethic with the ability to balance multiple priorities in a dynamic environment
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills; comfortable working cross-functionally with global teams
• Self-directed learner who thrives with minimal supervision and adapts quickly to changing requirements
• Customer-focused mindset with ability to translate business needs into technical excellence

Preferred Qualifications

• Track record of delivering multiple high-performance designs to production in data-center environments
• Hands-on collaboration with embedded firmware teams; deep understanding of firmware development challenges and constraints
• Familiarity with standard embedded processor subsystems (RISC-V, Arm, etc.)
• Proven contributions to design methodology, CAD automation, or design infrastructure to improve productivity or design quality
