Digital Design Summer/Fall Co-Op (June '26 - Dec '26)
- Austin, TX
- Permanent
- Full-time
- Digital design specification, design, analysis, and HDL (Verilog/System Verilog) coding
- Behavioral modeling of analog and mixed signal circuits
- Digital back-end: synthesis, physical implementation (prep for P&R), static timing, scan insertion, etc.
- Verification of digital sub-systems, mixed-signal sub-systems, and the entire chip using a combination of digital models/RTL, firmware, and behavioral models. Test bench development
- Validation of silicon functionality, behavior, and performance
- B.S. or M.S. in Electrical (and/or Computer) Engineering, pursuing further studies
- Strong motivation to contribute to all facets of chip design, from conceptualization to release to mass production
- Working knowledge of digital IC circuit design in an HDL synthesis environment
- Working knowledge of digital verification and testing techniques
- Good verbal and written communication and presentation skills, positive attitude, and willingness to work on a team
- Working knowledge of UNIX operating systems
- Experience with digital design at geometries ranging from 130-22 nm
- Experience with digital IO interfaces such as I2C, SPI, etc.
- Competence in high-level languages (e.g., Matlab, C), scripting languages (e.g., Tcl, Perl, Python, SKILL), and version control systems (e.g., SVN, SOS)
- Working knowledge of System Verilog and/or UVM
- Experience leading a team of digital designers, either formally or informally
- Experience with embedded processor design and firmware/software development, especially for 8051 or ARM cores
- Competence in exploring digital and firmware system/architecture trade-offs, such as memory size (ROM, RAM, FLASH, OTP, cache), clock speed, multiple clock domains, and the necessity for dedicated logic and DSP
- Experience with memory generators and MBIST
- Low-power design and implementation techniques
