Descripción del empleo

The candidate must have demonstrated success in digital design & verification / infrastructure development for digital FPGAs / ASICs. Other key skills include technical / project leadership to the digital team, documentation, RTL design knowledge, and backend flow and tools knowledge. The position requires both technical and leadership skills owning and technical / schedule oversight of PMICs, while working closely with multi-disciplinary groups to drive & design key aspects of ASIC / power management ICs that meet the requirements of products. Candidate will be lead designer, support verification, and be the technical focus on one or more devices and / or sections. Candidate will also support pre / post-silicon design validation and support Design / ATE / Application & Systems group.

MPS products include switching regulators, sensors, motor control, display drivers, audio amplifiers and power management ICs for fast-growing portable and non-portable markets such as broadband modems, notebooks, cell phones, telecom, fiber optics, digital cameras, automobiles and network equipment.

Essential Functions :

1. Support & develop the chip / digital level architecture and functional blocks.
2. Provide technical documentation with specifications, block diagrams, and requirements to stakeholders.
3. Collaborate & work with departments / stakeholders including for architectures, requirements, and tradeoffs, including Digital / Analog Design, Application / Test Engineering, & Reliability / Operations to resolve design, application, or test issues.
4. Develop system and chip level simulation verification techniques and methodology.
5. Digital Design (RTL design) : ASIC or FPGA from concept to implementation.
6. Digital Verification : Guide development of test plans, test benches and automated test cases.
7. Knowledge and / or responsibility in synthesis, timing closure, and formal verification.
8. Create scripting to support design and verification automation.
9. Estimate and manage time / tasks completion to target schedule.

Qualifications :

1. PhD / BS / MS in Electrical Engineering with emphasis in Digital Design / VLSI coursework.
2. 10+ years’ experience in design plus verification of ASIC or FPGA.
3. Experience in power management DC-DC converters + control topologies, such as PWM control, constant–on–time control, and voltage / current mode controls.
4. Proficient in standard DV languages (Verilog, SystemVerilog, UVM) and automated regression test case development, and reporting / tracking coverage metrics.
5. Experience with programming, scripting and automation languages (C / C++, shell, Perl, TCL, Python, etc.).
6. Solid knowledge and experience working through the entire ASIC Digital Design Flow : Specification definition, RTL Verification, Synthesis, P&R, Gate-Level Verification, Power Estimation, ATPG Generation and Simulation, AMS Sims, etc.
7. Excellent Knowledge & Use of industry standard ASIC tools / flow for daily work : Digital Simulators, synthesis tools, DFT, LEC, STA, etc.
