Digital IC Designer

Join a thriving environment tasked with delivering new and disruptive technologies

We are seeking a highly motivated and skilled Digital IC Designer to join our engineering team. The ideal candidate will be responsible for the design, development, simulation, and verification of complex digital integrated circuits (ICs) for various applications. This role requires hands-on experience with the Cadence suite of Electronic Design Automation (EDA) tools to ensure designs meet performance, power, and area specifications.

Responsibilities:

• RTL Design & Development: Develop and implement RTL (Register Transfer Level) code using VHDL/Verilog based on design specifications.
• Simulation and Verification:Perform thorough functional verification and simulation of IC designs using Cadence verification tools (e.g., Cadence NC-Launch/Incisive, SimVision) to validate performance and functionality.
• Synthesis and Implementation:Work on synthesis and physical design tasks, including floorplanning, placement, clock tree synthesis, and routing using Cadence physical design platforms (e.g., Cadence Genus, Cadence Innovus).
• Timing Analysis and Signoff:Conduct static timing analysis (STA) and timing closure using tools like Cadence Tempus to ensure designs meet all timing requirements.
• Physical Verification: Perform design rule checks (DRC) and layout versus schematic (LVS) verification using tools such as Cadence Pegasus or Cadence Innovus to prepare designs for fabrication (tape-out).
• Collaboration: Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including system architects, analog designers, and layout engineers, to ensure seamless integration and successful product development.
• Documentation: Create and maintain comprehensive design documentation, technical reports, and test plans.

Qualifications:

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field with a focus on VLSI or microelectronics.
• Proven experience in digital IC design, with a strong portfolio of completed projects.
• Expertise in the Cadence digital design flow is a must, including tools like Virtuoso (for schematics/layout viewing), Genus (synthesis), Innovus(physical design), Tempus (timing analysis), and verification tools.
• Familiarity with other industry-standard EDA tools (Synopsys, Mentor Graphics) is a plus.
• Proficiency in hardware description languages (Verilog, VHDL).
• Strong understanding of semiconductor physics and fabrication processes.
• Knowledge of low-power design techniques and methodologies.
• Scripting skills (Tcl, Perl, Python) to automate design flows are desirable.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, excellent communication, and the ability to work effectively in a team environment.

Nice to have:

• Familiarity with other industry‑standard EDA tools (e.g., Synopsys, Mentor Graphics).
• Experience with low‑power design methodologies and advanced optimization techniques.
• Strong scripting abilities (Tcl, Perl, Python) to automate design flows and improve efficiency.
• Exposure to mixed‑signal or analog/digital integration projects.
• Knowledge of semiconductor fabrication processes and design for manufacturability (DFM).
• Experience working in multicultural, cross‑functional engineering teams.
• Ability to produce clear technical documentation and communicate complex concepts effectively.
