## Description

You'll join the Wireless MCU - Digital Design team, which is responsible for the integrated circuit (IC) design of digital components across the entire system-on-chip (SoC). The team's work spans from architecture and design through verification, ensuring that each block integrates seamlessly into high-performance, low-power SoCs. By combining digital and analog expertise, the team drives innovation in embedded systems for a wide range of wireless applications.

Responsibilities

 * Contribute to the digital IC design and development of system-on-chip (SoC) architectures for wireless microcontroller products.

 * Design, implement, and validate digital logic blocks for integration into complex mixed-signal SoC solutions.

 * Apply knowledge of VLSI design principles to support block-level and system-level digital design activities, including RTL development and integration.

 * Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including analog design, verification, firmware, and systems engineers, to deliver high-quality silicon solutions.

 * Develop models, simulations, and verification plans to ensure functionality, performance, and design quality.

 * Analyze design results, debug issues, and support root-cause investigations throughout the development lifecycle.

 * Participate in design reviews and technical discussions, providing recommendations to improve design quality, methodologies, and development efficiency.

 * Support silicon bring-up, validation, and characterization activities as needed.
