Zürich - Switzerland
Job Summary
Key Responsibilities
Take technical ownership of internal engineering tools and their existing codebases. Develop enhancements resolve defects maintain documentation manage releases and provide ongoing support to the engineering team.
Develop and validate AI-assisted workflows that translate product requirements into specifications for each engineering discipline. Work with domain experts to preserve traceability to source requirements and manage dependencies and requirement changes.
Build automated tests and review workflows to assess the completeness consistency and correctness of generated specifications. Ensure outputs can be checked and approved by the responsible engineers.
Translate user feedback into tool improvements maintain integrations with engineering workflows and evaluate additional AI/LLM applications for requirements analysis documentation RTL development and verification.
Translate system and product requirements into digital specifications and micro-architectures. Develop RTL in Verilog/SystemVerilog and integrate embedded processors memories peripherals register maps and on-chip buses into mixed-signal SoCs.
Own digital design activities including lint CDC/RDC analysis synthesis static timing analysis and low-power design. Support physical implementation and timing closure.
Collaborate with system analog verification firmware and physical design teams on SoC integration clock and reset architectures mixed-signal interfaces design reviews and verification planning.
Support silicon bring-up laboratory debugging and product validation through the transition to volume production
Qualifications :
Proven hands-on experience developing and integrating AI-based tools into IC design workflows is required. Candidates must be able to demonstrate implemented solutions in areas such as requirements engineering specification generation RTL design verification or design-flow automation.
MSc or PhD in Electrical Engineering Microelectronics Computer Engineering or a related field.
Typically 5 years of relevant experience in digital IC/SoC design with experience taking designs from specification through successful silicon.
Strong practical experience with Verilog/SystemVerilog RTL design and digital subsystem integration.
Solid understanding of SoC architectures including embedded processors memories peripherals register architectures and on-chip buses such as AMBA AHB/APB.
Experience with lint CDC/RDC synthesis static timing analysis and timing closure together with an understanding of clock/reset architectures and low-power design techniques.
