TL;DR · Senior Security IP Design Engineer

The Senior Security IP Design Engineer joins the Solutions Engineering Security IP Team to develop architectures, specifications, and sophisticated hardware functions for pioneering SoC designs. This role involves developing Security IP and subsystems, including RTL and constraint development, bug fixing, and leading design exploration and optimization. The engineer will partner with verification and implementation peers to drive closure, support debug, and achieve functional, power, and performance sign-off. Key technical requirements include expertise in Verilog RTL design, Applied Cryptography, Secure Boot, Key Management, and Access Controls. Candidates must be proficient in AXI/AHB protocols, synthesis, timing analysis, and power management techniques like UPF. Required skills include experience with SystemVerilog, UVM/OVM, and scripting languages such as Perl, Python, and TCL within ARM-based designs.

What you'll do

  • Develop architectures, specifications, and design sophisticated security hardware functions.
  • Create RTL and constraints for security IP and subsystems.
  • Perform bug fixing and lead design exploration, optimization, and structural checks.
  • Build test plans and drive verification closure with implementation peers.
  • Support debug efforts to achieve functional, power, and performance sign-off.
  • Contribute to the development and enhancement of team processes and methodologies.
  • Mentor team members and manage project roadmaps, initiatives, and schedules.

What we're looking for

  • Preferred candidates should have a Bachelor's or Graduate degree in Computer Science or Electrical/Computer Engineering (preferred).
  • Applicants must have a track record of leadership in the design and productization of Compute, Multimedia, or Security Sub-Systems and SoCs.
  • Candidates must have an advanced understanding of hardware Verilog RTL design, verification, and EDA methodologies.
  • Applicants must have proven experience in Security Hardware, Embedded Processor Systems, Applied Cryptography, Secure Boot, Key Management, and Access Controls.
  • Candidates must have proven experience in SoC architecture including multi-clock domains, AXI/AHB protocols, multi-power domains, and reset architectures.
  • Applicants must have competency with synthesis, timing analysis, constraints development, and ECO methodologies.
  • Candidates must be familiar with design checks including CDC, RDC, X-Propagation, and LINT.
  • Applicants must be familiar with power management techniques, UPF, power estimation, and power optimization.
  • Candidates must have experience with Perl, Python, TCL, or other scripting languages.
  • Applicants must have familiarity with ARM-based designs and/or ARM System Architectures.
  • Candidates must have experience with SystemVerilog and verification methodologies such as UVM/OVM, Portable Stimulus, and Hardware/Firmware co-verification.
