Job summary

OLIX seeks Senior/Staff Digital Design Engineers to own end-to-end silicon development—from algorithm modeling to RTL and silicon bring-up in a high-performance data-processing context.

The role intersects digital, optical and mixed-signal domains, requiring a strong EE background, time-to-market focus, and a passion for reliable, cutting-edge AI hardware. Office-based with advanced hardware teams.

Qualifications

• 7+ years of hands-on digital design for high-performance ASICs or SoCs.
• Proven ability to close timing on multi-hundred-MHz to multi-GHz clock domains and integrate high-speed IP.
• Expertise with RTL synthesis, CDC/RDC, STA, UPF/CPF, lint, and gate-level simulation.
• Demonstrated FPGA prototyping skills: constraint management, transceiver tuning, hardware debugging.
• Proficiency in MATLAB/Simulink or Python/NumPy for modeling and test vector generation.
• Solid grounding in digital signal-processing, computer-architecture and device physics.
• Excellent communication and cross-functional collaboration in a fast-moving environment.

Responsibilities

• Architect, design and implement high-throughput digital pipelines in advanced CMOS nodes.
• Prototype and iterate in FPGA to demonstrate real-time demos and feed results back to ASIC.
• Model algorithms in MATLAB/Simulink and ensure functional equivalence through to gate-level sign-off.
• Own RTL development (SystemVerilog/Verilog/VHDL) including synthesis and verification.
• Analyze power, performance and area; pursue bandwidth-per-watt optimizations.
• Collaborate with optical-hardware, mixed-signal and software teams to optimize interfaces.
• Mentor junior engineers, lead design reviews and propagate best practices.
