TL;DR · DDR Design Engineer

As a DDR Design Engineer, you will join the DDR PHY design team to develop high-performance, low-power designs. You will be involved in all phases of the logic design process, including concept study, architecture definition, design, verification, silicon bring-up, and characterization. Your daily responsibilities include performing concept studies regarding performance, gate count, and power; writing detailed design specifications and test plans; and providing high-quality RTL descriptions with assertions. You will utilize formal tools and static checkers to ensure quality while driving functional coverage and timing closure. The role requires proficiency in Verilog or SystemVerilog, state machines, data paths, arbitration, clock domain crossing logic, and logic synthesis. Additional technical skills include Design For Test, scan concepts, Unified Power Format for simulation and synthesis, and experience in mixed-signal environments.

What you'll do

  • Perform concept studies to provide direction on performance, gate count, and power for digital designs.
  • Write detailed design specifications and test plans in collaboration with architecture and verification teams.
  • Develop high-quality RTL descriptions including assertions for the design.
  • Utilize formal tools and static checkers to ensure high RTL quality.
  • Drive functional and code coverage as well as timing closure for assigned designs.
  • Support design verification to ensure bug-free first silicon.
  • Perform silicon bring-up, performance characterization, and power characterization.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering.
  • RTL design using Verilog or SystemVerilog and assertion writing (preferred).
  • Design of state machines, data paths, arbitration, and clock domain crossing logic (preferred).
  • Logic synthesis and timing constraints (preferred).
  • Exposure to Design For Test, scan concepts, and writing DFT friendly RTL (preferred).
  • Unified Power Format for simulation, synthesis, electrical rule checking, and Equivalence checking (preferred).
  • Prior experience in DDR PHY design and mixed-signal environment (preferred).
