Job Description:
Job Title:
Senior Digital IC Designer Job Type:
Fulltime Job Location:
Chandler, AZ Work Schedule:
Onsite
Our client is seeking a
Senior Digital IC Designer
to join our innovative Mixed Signal Products team. As a key contributor to the digital IC design process, you will work closely with the world's best analog designers to develop high-performance mixed-signal ICs that cater to both consumer and automotive markets. Your focus will be on embedding power-efficient custom digital cores within these designs. This role requires deep expertise in
digital IC design , including custom digital core development and experience optimizing for low power. Familiarity with
ARM, DSP Cores and RISC-V architectures
is a strong advantage.
Responsibilities: Digital IC Design : Design and develop custom digital cores that are highly power-efficient, tailored for mixed-signal chips in audio, haptics, and power management applications. Low-Power Design : Focus on designing for low-power consumption, especially in battery-powered consumer and automotive applications. Architecture Development : Work with architects and system designers to develop innovative digital architectures that integrate seamlessly with analog blocks, driving superior performance in mixed-signal ICs. Digital Design Flow : Lead the digital design process, including RTL design, verification, synthesis, place and route, timing closure, and power optimization. Collaboration with Analog Teams : Collaborate closely with analog designers to ensure the seamless integration of analog and digital components, helping create the best mixed-signal chips in the industry. Power Optimization : Implement techniques for power optimization, including clock gating, power gating, and dynamic voltage scaling, to meet strict power requirements. Verification & Validation : Develop verification environments and contribute to validation plans for robust digital designs that meet performance and power specifications. Technology Adoption : Stay up-to-date on the latest trends in low-power design, digital architecture, and IC development methodologies, including the adoption of
ARM, DSP core
and
RISC-V architectures .
Required Qualifications: Expert-level experience
in digital IC design, with a proven track record in designing and optimizing power-efficient custom digital cores. Experience with RTL design , synthesis, and verification for mixed-signal ICs. In-depth knowledge of
low-power design techniques
for embedded systems, including clock gating, power gating, and voltage scaling. Proficiency with industry-standard digital design and verification tools (e.g.,
Verilog ,
VHDL ,
SystemVerilog ,
UVM ,
Cadence ,
Synopsys ,
Mentor ). Strong understanding of
ARM, DSP
or
RISC-V architectures
and their application in low-power, high-performance systems. Experience collaborating with analog/mixed-signal teams to deliver high-quality, integrated mixed-signal solutions. Hands-on experience
in the digital implementation process, from design to tape-out, including synthesis, place & route, and timing closure. Preferred Qualifications:
Familiarity with
DSP
and
RISC-V architectures
and the customization of
DSP
cores for specialized applications. Experience with
ARM-based
embedded systems, especially in low-power environments. Automotive IC experience , including knowledge of safety, reliability, and quality standards (e.g., ISO 26262). Experience in designing ICs for
consumer electronics , with an understanding of the challenges related to power, form factor, and performance.
