• Ensuring digital development process is state‑of‑art and achieves budget, schedule, and project deliverable goals.
• Designing digital RTL that meets timing, area, power and any adhering standards specifications.
• Integrating design at the top level and running block & top‑level simulations.
• Participate in all aspects of Mixed‑signal design flow – Micro‑architecture, Design partitioning, RTL Verilog / System Verilog Design, Generating Timing Constraints, Synthesis, Interaction with P&R Team, Timing Analysis, LINT, CDC, RDC, UPF.
• Working closely with P&R team to generate a layout that meets timing, area, and power requirements.
• Support DFT strategy and implementation, and review test case development.
• Assisting with top level test‑bench debug, and running RTL & gate level simulations.
• Working with analog and digital verification engineers to come up with complex test scenarios for pre‑silicon verification.
• Supporting analog team to develop AMS, System Verilog or Verilog‑real behavioral models.
• Developing detailed block & chip level design documents and collateral.
• Holding and participating in key design reviews and completion of various checklists.
• Perform silicon evaluation as required.
• Document device errata, develop work‑around solutions, implement engineering changes when necessary.

• >10 years of digital design experience in one of the following areas: wireless handheld, data conversion, and power management.
