Job Description:

Description

This position is for an experienced digital design engineer working our next generation wireless audio ASICs.

Responsibilities

You will architect, design and collaborate on radio subsystems in small geometry mixed-signal CMOS SOCs. Your primary role will be as a contributor to architecture and design in digital, including:

• Full chip/block level architecture, RTL design and implementation
• Emulation, modeling, simulation, silicon testing and debugging of digital circuits and SOCs
• Providing technical leadership and expertise in all aspects of digital design and implementation

You will work closely with your counterparts in analog, RF, firmware, test and evaluation teams to design and ensure functional and performance requirements are met by the subsystem. Your expertise in low power SOC design, signal processing, processor cores and ASIC implementation will make you a key member of the design group.

Required Experience and Skills

Proven track record of exceptional performance in digital design

• 5+ years (BSEE), 3+ years (MSEE) or 0+ years (PhD) of relevant industry experience
• Experience in implementation with Verilog and System Verilog
• Experience authoring specifications
• Experience in architectural modeling in Matlab, Python, or C
• Experience in Real-time data processing systems

Desired Experience and Skills

• Understanding of ASIC design flow (RTL design, Verficiation, Synthesis, Timing Analysis, Power Analysis, Physical Design, Test)
• Famililarity with wireless communication
  • Different modulation schemes such as pi/4 DQPSK, 16QAM, GFSK
  • Implementation of FIR/IIR filters
  • Compensation for impairments such as Carrier Frequency Offset, Symbol Timing Recovery, Channel Equalization
• ASIC prototyping using FPGA
• Embedded Firmware development using C (for testcase development and firmware debug)
• Lab evaluation using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, spectrum analyzers
• Familiarity with Audio performance measurements (SNR, THD, SINAD, DR, etc.)
• Familiarity with external communication interfaces (SPI, I2C, I2S, UART, JTAG, etc.)

#LI-SJ1

• Familiarity with different processors (ARM, RISC-V)
  
  • Familiarity interfacing to standard bus protocols such as AHB, APB, AXI
  • Direct Memory Access controllers
• Clock Domain Crossing techniques
• Low power design techniques
• Design For Test concepts
• Skilled in various scripting languages such as python, perl, TCL, Makefiles, shell scripts
