Digital IC Design Engineer | EP

As a member of the Embedded Processors team, you will be working on state-of-the-art processors and microcontrollers to make the world smarter, safer, and greener.  These products are the heart of autonomous vehicles, intelligent robots, electric vehicles, and energy efficient homes and push the boundaries of technology integrating high-speed interface controllers, networking accelerators, deep learning accelerators, DSPs, ARM/RISC-V compute cores, vision analytics, security, and multimedia.  You will help build products that will transform the world by making technology reachable, affordable and accessible for all.

• →Be a key team member from IP requirement definition till release to market, working closely with all cross-functional teams
• →Define or enhance the micro-architecture for digital IP blocks
• →RTL development and QC flows to ensure superior IP quality
• →Interface with 3^rd party IP vendors and drive requirements and delivery milestones/quality
• →Work closely with IP verification team to help build the IP verification plan and tests.  Support functional debugs
• →Support IP during silicon bring-up activities, test program development, customer engagement and silicon/application debug 
• →Drive IP architectural optimization for area, power and performance improvements

The job offers the opportunity to Design, Architect and Micro-architect IPs enabling data movement, interconnect, safety, security, Realtime functionality and broader infrastructure components to help develop Embedded Processors. As an IP owner, you will drive the requirements gathering, design, and implementation of the IP’s to ensure that the differentiated IP meets all functional requirements as well as holds high quality standards.

You will interface with various engineering teams within the product line including SoC Design, Verification, Validation, Test, Systems, Applications and Marketing to successfully execute new IP’s from concept to design.

You will be a core member in the IP Design team driving flawless execution, while finding innovative solutions to customers’ problems through “out of the box thinking” to deliver highly differentiated products.
