TL;DR · Wireless SoC Design Engineer

The Wireless SoC Design Engineer joins the wireless silicon development team to design CPU-based subsystems for high performance, low power wireless SoCs. This role involves writing micro-architecture and design specifications while coding designs in SystemVerilog according to established guidelines. The engineer will own all aspects of RTL development, integrate industry standard and custom hardware IPs, and optimize memories and hard macros. Key responsibilities include performing area, timing, and power optimizations, as well as checking designs with static tools like LINT, CDC, and RDC. Candidates should possess knowledge of digital design, SoC architecture, and HDL languages such as Verilog. The role focuses on the technical challenge of balancing power, performance, and area goals for wireless SoCs while engaging in hardware, software, and power partitioning discussions to ensure high-quality delivery of leading-edge products.

What you'll do

  • Write micro-architecture and design specifications for CPU-based subsystems.
  • Code RTL designs using SystemVerilog following established guidelines.
  • Integrate IP blocks and optimize memories and hard macros for the SoC.
  • Support verification efforts across multiple levels of the design process.
  • Perform static analysis checks including LINT, CDC, and RDC.
  • Analyze and optimize area, timing, and power metrics for wireless SoCs.
  • Participate in hardware, software, and power partitioning discussions with cross-functional teams.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor's degree is the minimum requirement.
  • Familiarity with the ASIC design flow.
  • Knowledge of digital design, SoC architecture, and HDL languages like Verilog.
  • MSEE with some years of industry experience (preferred).
  • Experience writing micro-architecture specifications and converting them to design (preferred).
  • Exposure to design methodologies and industry standard EDA tools (preferred).
  • Experience with AXI/AHB bus fabric and processor sub-systems (preferred).
  • Understanding of UPF and low-power design & implementation techniques (preferred).
