Digital Design Engineer

Job Description

Sr. Staff/ Principal Digital Design Engineer- InnoPhase IoT (San Diego)

As a Sr. Staff/ Principal Digital Design Engineer, you will be working with a team of design engineers to develop novel SoC products for connectivity and communications. You will also be a key contributor to product definition and resulting detailed device performance and functional requirements specifications.

In addition to delivering high quality digital solutions in the context of the product architecture, the team supports other disciplines with work products such as Verilog stimulus files, test benches for device bring up/characterization, test vectors for product manufacturing, etc.

Key Responsibilities

Contribute to/review SoC specifications and architectures

Front to back digital design and verification RTL through physical implementation

Hands on technical leadership

Support schedule and resource planning

Help define and socialize digital/system design, implementation methodologies and test strategies and flows

Debug designs and provide timely closure

Work with System, Software, RF, Analog, and Test teams and provide necessary support
