The candidate will take a supporting role and will be involved in all aspects of the design process from system conceptualization to mass production. For example, a candidate may participate in digital system architecture, block- and system-level RTL design/coding, algorithm and firmware development, digital circuit back-end (e.g. synthesis, timing closure, P&R preparation, scan insertion), firmware development (some ICs include embedded processors), digital design verification, and/or full-chip mixed-signal verification. Responsibilities may also include detailed documentation, test vector development, lab test and evaluation, and other activities as required for the achievement of high-volume production.Term: Summer/Fall Co-Op (June '26 - Dec '26)Responsibilities
  • 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
Required Experience and Skills
  • 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
Desired Experience and Skills
  • 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
