Principal IC Designer

As part of Renesass Performance Computing Power Business you will contribute to the development of our next-generation ICs for low-voltage high-current power applications.  This highly experienced team is seeking an experienced DSP and Systems design engineer to expand the teams capabilities.

We are seeking a Principal IC Design Engineer to specify develop and document the architecture and design of the digital regulation loop control sub-system for AI Server and emerging high performance computing product spaces.  This position supports our highest value loop intellectual property and requires deep understanding of control theory mixed-signal DSP architecture and implementation and the application of those concepts to real-world customer applications.

What you will do:

• Develop high-level System Verilog models of digital control loop functionality
• Implement synthesizable RTL to realize performance DSP hardware within process voltage and area constraints
• Work with Applications and Systems Engineering team members to architect solutions
• Test and Validate Digital Loop features in FPGA prototype systems designed to operate supporting real-time power regulation
• Support training for DV applications and validation engineers on control loop theory of operation and implementation-specific behaviors
• Mentor and train junior DSP and digital designers
• Triage and debug customer systems with applications engineers to identify root cause and solve field-reported bugs or exceptions.
• Work within the new product development process to scope work and schedule time needed to support IC tapeouts

Qualifications :

• Education: Bachelor or Master of Electrical Engineer. 
• More than 12 years of hands-on experience in integrated circuit (IC) engineering specializing in the semiconductor industry.
• Demonstrated track record of leading the development of commercially successful digital mixed-signal IC products
• Flexibility is required.  The server market is very dynamic.  We specify products a year ahead of first CPU silicon.  OEM and ODM definitions and schedules change dramatically from business plan to first silicon and our priorities flow directly from those engagements. 
  • You must stay engaged with the Product Definition team to understand and adapt to rapidly changing market and competitive pressure
  • You will also need to attempt to stay ahead of the market needs by anticipating functions and features for next generation architectures.
• Strong communications skills and broad technical skills are essential.  The team that supports this effort is global and effective written and verbal communication is essential.
