Job description

Change the world. Love your job.

Power the future. Love the work.

Digital designers bring silicon to life. In this role you will define, develop, and refine the digital portion of battery gauge mixed signal SOCs —translating system intent into micro-architecture, RTL, and ultimately production-ready hardware. You will partner closely with system, analog, verification, and product engineering teams to own block-level specifications, and carry designs through concept, implementation, and validation into mass production. Along the way you will analyze data and prove out methods that meet demanding performance, quality, and reliability targets.

If you are looking to join a creative, highly driven and collaborative team that consistently delivers groundbreaking technology into the world of battery gauges, this is your opportunity.
