About the job

We are seeking a highly skilled MTS Digital Design Engineer to join Global Foundries Egypt digital design team. The ideal candidate will lead the architecture, design, and implementation of complex digital systems. This role requires deep expertise in RTL design, microarchitecture, and system integration, along with the ability to drive technical direction across cross-functional teams. The candidate will also play a key role in developing high-performance, low-latency digital designs for advanced high-speed data paths used in modern optical transceivers.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead end-to-end digital design from microarchitecture definition through RTL implementation and integration
• Architect and implement high-speed data path logic for high speed systems, including components used in optical transceiver pipeline
• Define and review microarchitecture specifications with emphasis on throughput, latency, and timing closure
• Drive design quality through code reviews, linting, CDC/RDC, and synthesis best practices
• Collaborate with system, analog/mixed-signal, and physical design teams to ensure seamless integration of high-speed interfaces.
• Optimize designs for performance, power, and area (PPA)
• Debug complex functional and integration issues across simulation, emulation, and silicon bring-up

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field
• 10+ years of experience in digital design and RTL development.
• Strong expertise in Verilog/System Verilog and digital design fundamentals
• Solid understanding of: Microarchitecture design, Clock domain crossing (CDC), and reset domain crossing (RDC)
• Low-power design techniques
• Synthesis and timing constraints
• Experience with industry-standard EDA tools (e.g., synthesis, lint, CDC, simulation).
• Strong debugging and problem-solving skills.

Preferred Qualifications

• Familiarity with system-level design and hardware/software co-design
• Knowledge of DFT (scan, MBIST, JTAG) and bring-up flows
• Experience with FPGA prototyping and emulation platforms
• Scripting experience (Python, Tcl, or similar)

We offer

• Base Salary
• Equity
• Annual Bonus Plan
• Medical Insurance
