About the job
Own end-to-end design of high-speed digital silicon for real-time data processing, from algorithm modeling and FPGA prototyping through verified RTL and silicon bring-up.
What you'll do
- Architect and implement high-throughput digital pipelines and prototype them on FPGA.
- Develop and verify RTL, close timing, and analyze power, performance, and area.
- Collaborate across optical, mixed-signal, and software teams; mentor engineers and lead design reviews.
What they ask for
- 7+ years of hands-on digital design for high-performance ASICs or SoCs, including ownership of a product processing a continuous real-time data stream.
- Experience closing timing in multi-hundred-MHz to multi-GHz clock domains and integrating high-speed IP.
- Expertise with EDA flows including synthesis, CDC/RDC, STA, power-intent, lint, and gate-level simulation.
- FPGA prototyping skills and proficiency in MATLAB/Simulink or Python/NumPy for algorithm modeling.
Nice to have
- Advanced-process-node tape-out experience.
- Knowledge of coherent optical links or photonic-electronic co-design.
