Role Overview To expand our team in Munich we are seeking a Senior Digital Design Engineer with a strong background in digital RTL development and integration of digital control logic for analog/mixed-signal this role you will collaborate and engage with members of cross-functional disciplines to architect design and verify digital subsystems that are at the core of Empowers next-generation power ICs. Youll work closely with analog layout firmware and verification teams to develop ultra-compact ultra-efficient digital control blocks and contribute to top-level chip architecture.
Key Responsibilities - Work with design team to understand the top-level requirements of the digital functions and develop specifications
- Design and implement digital blocks for power management ICs including:
- Digital control loops
- State machines
- Regulators and timing logic
- Calibration and trimming logic
- Communication interfaces (e.g. PMBus AVSbus I2C/SPI PCMI)
- Write synthesizable RTL with high reliability and efficiency.
- Work with AMS teams to integrate digital RTL in mixed-signal simulation environments.
- Execute synthesis linting CDC/STA checks and backend support as needed.
Qualifications: - B.S. or M.S. in Electrical or Computer Engineering.
- 510 years of digital design experience in silicon-proven ICs.
- Solid experience in RTL design finite state machines and digital architectures for embedded/mixed-signal applications.
- Basic understanding of analog and full custom circuit design
- Experience with synthesis tools (Synopsys Cadence) and flow setup.
- Familiarity with digital design flow including RTL simulation logic synthesis timing constraints STA back annotation of parasitic gate level simulation equivalence checking
- Excellent debugging skills and understanding of simulation tools (Xcelium)
