TL;DR · R&D Digital Design Engineer

The R&D Digital Design Engineer joins the core switch group to develop high-performance ethernet switch silicon and software for hyperscale data centers, cloud providers, and enterprise networks. This role involves participating in the full program design lifecycle, including developing micro-architecture specifications, RTL implementation, unit verification, timing convergence, ECO implementation, and debug analysis. The engineer will use mathematics and computation to write efficient Verilog based RTL for complex networking ASICs. Key technical requirements include experience with deep submicron technologies, Ethernet, TCP/IP, MPLS, tunneling, and packet processing architectures such as parsing, ACLs, metering, and policing. Additionally, the role requires skills in low power design techniques, clock domain crossing, and scripting languages like Python or Perl to solve complex problems within the networking infrastructure space.

What you'll do

  • Write efficient and elegant RTL for implementing components of complex networking ASICs.
  • Develop micro-architecture specifications based on technical requirements.
  • Perform unit verification to ensure design accuracy.
  • Achieve timing convergence for high-performance ASICs in deep submicron technologies.
  • Implement ECOs and perform debug analysis during the design lifecycle.
  • Implement low power design techniques and clock domain crossing methods.
  • Develop logic for packet processing features like parsing, ACLs, metering, and policing.

What we're looking for

  • B.S. in electrical engineering, computer engineering, computer science, or equivalent.
  • B.S. with 8 years of experience or M.S. with 5 years of experience in digital design on multiple networking ASICs.
  • At least 5 years of experience in Verilog based RTL design or verification in deep submicron technologies.
  • Familiarity with Ethernet and other networking protocols.
  • Extensive experience with Ethernet, TCP/IP, MPLS, tunneling, and other networking protocols.
  • Experience with packet processing architectures including parsing, ACLs, metering, and policing.
  • Experience achieving timing closure on high performance ASICs in deep submicron technologies.
  • Experience with low power design techniques, power estimation methods, clock domain crossing, and scripting languages like Python or Perl.
