Business Manager - Semiconductor Division

Edinburgh

I am seeking a highly skilled Digital Design Engineer with strong DSP (Digital Signal Processing) experience to join a growing team. In this role, you will be responsible for architecting and implementing power-efficient RTL designs for custom DSP blocks, contributing to the development of high-performance, low-power digital hardware for advanced communication systems and signal processing applications.

Key Responsibilities

• Design and implement efficient RTL (VHDL/SystemVerilog) for DSP algorithms such as filters, transforms, and modulators.
• Collaborate with algorithm and architecture teams to translate high-level DSP models into optimized hardware implementations.
• Develop and refine custom digital architectures that are area- and power-efficient.
• Analyze and implement power- and performance-driven trade-offs in RTL design.
• Support verification and validation of DSP blocks, including testbench development and debugging.
• Interface with physical design and software teams to ensure successful integration and tape-out.
• Stay informed on latest trends in DSP techniques, low-power design strategies, and silicon technologies.

Required Skills and Experience

• Degree (BSc/MSc/PhD) in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related discipline.
• Strong background in DSP concepts, including filter design, spectral analysis, and signal conditioning.
• Proven experience in RTL design using VHDL or SystemVerilog.
• Deep understanding of power-efficient digital design techniques.
• Experience in custom hardware development for DSP applications.
• Familiarity with fixed-point and floating-point arithmetic implementations.
• Experience with ASIC or FPGA design flows, including synthesis and timing closure.
• Understanding of communication systems and protocols is a strong advantage.
• Competency in scripting languages such as Python, Perl, or Tcl for automation is desirable.

On offer is a competitive base salary + RSUs and the opportunity to work on cutting edge designs. You must be eligible to work in the UK and be onsite 3 days per week in the Edinburgh office.
