Job description

As a Senior / Staff Digital Design Engineer, you will drive the digital core development from RTL to final GDS, ensuring high-quality, low-power designs. You will work with verification engineers to identify and resolve issues early, contribute to block-level architecture, and support the evolution of digital IP for current and upcoming platforms., * Lead digital core design for sophisticated power management solutions.

  • Develop new IP and optimise existing designs, defining effective block-level architectures.
  • Collaborate with verification teams to ensure functionality and performance before tape-out and for subsequent revisions.
  • Manage synthesis, timing closure, DFT, and coordinate physical implementation with external design partners.
  • Document design work and maintain clear internal technical specifications.
