Senior Digital IC Architect - Low-Power SoC & MCU

Semtech; Neuenburg; Vor Ort; CHF 113.000 - 150.000; Vollzeit

Zusammenfassung

Semtech in Neuchâtel, Switzerland, seeks a Senior Staff Digital Design Engineer to lead digital subsystems within complex mixed-signal ICs, from concept through to lab validation.

You will define digital architectures, implement high-performance, low-power designs, and collaborate cross-functionally to ensure production readiness. Strong technical expertise and problem-solving skills are required to drive innovation within the design team.

Qualifikationen

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field
• 8+ years of experience in digital IC design, preferably within mixed-signal environments
• Strong knowledge of digital IC development, including frontend-to-backend flow, timing closure, and low-power design techniques
• Experience with MCU-based architectures (e.g. ARM, RISC-V, STM32) and digital microarchitecture
• Proficiency in SystemVerilog, Verilog, or VHDL, along with scripting languages such as Python, Tcl, or Perl
• Experience with industry-standard EDA tools (e.g. Synopsys, Cadence, Siemens)
• Understanding of verification methodologies (e.g. UVM/OVM, formal verification)
• Familiarity with standard hardware interfaces (e.g. I2C, I3C, SPI, MIPI)
• Strong analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills
• Ability to work independently while collaborating effectively within cross-functional teams

Aufgaben

• Design and implement digital subsystems, including CPU-based architectures, FSMs, interconnects, and peripherals (e.g. I2C, SPI, analog controls) (40%)
• Define and architect digital system blocks, contributing to system-level design decisions and trade-offs (10%)
• Collaborate with analog design teams to define interfaces and ensure seamless mixed-signal integration (10%)
• Debug and analyse RTL and verification issues, identifying root causes and driving resolution (10%)
• Support block-level and chip-level verification activities in collaboration with verification teams (10%)
• Contribute to lab validation, product qualification, and cross-functional engineering efforts with Validation, Test, and Product teams (10%)
• Drive continuous improvement of design methodologies, tools, and overall design quality (10%)
