Job Summary

We are seeking an experienced Senior Digital IC Designer to contribute to the development of cutting-edge mixed-signal and digital integrated circuits. This role involves leading complex design tasks from concept to silicon, ensuring high-performance and reliable solutions for NXP's advanced semiconductor products.

Job Responsibilities

  • Lead and execute the full digital IC design flow, including specification definition, architectural design, RTL coding (Verilog/System Verilog), synthesis, static timing analysis (STA), formal verification, and power analysis.
  • Collaborate closely with analog, mixed-signal, and software teams to define interfaces, optimize system performance, and ensure seamless integration.
  • Develop and implement innovative digital architectures and design methodologies to meet challenging performance, power, and area targets.
  • Perform comprehensive design verification using simulation tools, formal verification techniques, and hardware emulation.
  • Participate in post-silicon validation and debug activities, identifying and resolving issues to ensure product quality.
  • Mentor junior engineers, provide technical guidance, and contribute to continuous improvement of design processes and methodologies.
  • Generate detailed design documentation, including specifications, test plans, and design reviews.
  • Stay abreast of industry trends, emerging technologies, and best practices in digital IC design.

Job Qualifications

  • Master's degree or Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, or a related field.
  • Minimum of 7 years of experience in digital IC design, with a strong portfolio of successfully completed projects.
  • Expertise in Verilog/System Verilog for RTL design and verification.
  • Proven experience with industry-standard EDA tools for synthesis, STA (e.g., Synopsys Design Compiler, Cadence Genus, Primetime), formal verification (e.g., Synopsys Formality), and simulation (e.g., VCS, Questa Sim).
  • Strong understanding of digital design principles, clock domain crossing (CDC) issues, power integrity, and low-power design techniques.
  • Experience with scripting languages (e.g., Python, Perl, Tcl) for automation and design flow optimization.
  • Familiarity with mixed-signal integration challenges and verification methodologies.
  • Excellent problem-solving, analytical, and debugging skills.
  • Strong communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to work effectively in a collaborative team environment.
  • Ability to take initiative, work independently, and lead technical discussions.
