TL;DR · Digital IC Design Manager

The Digital IC Design Manager joins the MicroDisplay Electronics and Software team to develop state-of-the-art microdisplays for AR eyewear. This role involves managing a small team of digital and physical design engineers to create RTL code and physical implementations for Big-D, Big-A type ASICs. Key responsibilities include executing RTL-to-gds digital implementation flows, performing logic design, chip floorplanning, place-and-route, timing closure, and DFT insertion. The candidate must utilize tools such as Cadence Innovus, Tempus, Genus, PVS, and the Mentor/Siemens Calibre suite. Proficiency in scripting languages like TCL, Python, and Perl is required. This position solves technical challenges in designing display ICs for augmented reality, specifically focusing on integrating digital experiences into three-dimensional space through advanced hardware development.

What you'll do

  • Manage a team of digital and physical design engineers to create RTL code and physical implementations.
  • Execute and continuously improve RTL design and RTL-to-gds digital implementation flows for display ICs.
  • Perform logic design, Design-for-Test, chip floorplanning, place-and-route, timing closure, and physical verification.
  • Oversee synthesis, DFT insertion, and Logic Equivalence Checking (LEC) for ASIC projects.
  • Specify and configure design tools and develop automation scripts using TCL, Python, or Perl.
  • Hire and manage new staff while overseeing performance management and HR procedures.
  • Work with chip architects and analog design teams to develop Big-D and Big-A type ASICs.

What we're looking for

  • Hold a BSEE or MSEE degree.
  • Have 10+ years of experience in physical design or digital implementation.
  • Have a minimum of 3 years of experience in a management role.
  • Possess strong knowledge of logic design, RTL coding, and associated functions like lint, CDC, LEC, and DFT.
  • Possess strong knowledge of digital implementation, including physical design, synthesis, and timing closure.
  • Possess strong knowledge of Cadence Innovus, Tempus, Genus, PVS, and Mentor/Siemens Calibre tool suites.
  • Demonstrate proficiency in scripting and automation using TCL, SKILL, Perl, Python, and Shell scripts.
  • Knowledge of Analog/Mixed-signal design, Siemens QuestaSim, Veloce Emulator, Tessent DFT, and Virtuoso (preferred).
