Client Information:
- The Bristol design centre is focused on optoelectronic ICs primarily targeted to datacoms & adjacent markets.
- Within the centre, all functions of product development from initial ideas to full productization take place, including, marketing, definition, design, layout, product engineering, validation, test engineering, characterization, qualification, applications, etc.
- Searching for experienced semiconductor Senior Digital IC Design Engineers with direct experience, and track record, of bringing automotive products through the NPI development process from definition to production release, including all quality, functional safety and qualification related analysis and documentation.
- Responsibilities:
- Work closely with product definition team on developing high level requirements for products.
- Interpret high level design requirements or architecture documents and create detailed design specifications.
- Generate RTL (Register Transfer Level), block/top level simulations and timing constraints.
- Create thorough verification plans and fully verify designs through simulation.
- Behavioural modelling of complex analogue functions.
- Run Synthesis, Place and Route, DFT insertion, timing closure and ATPG (Automatic Test Pattern Generation) for SCAN test.
- Work closely with layout engineers to ensure design is LVS (Layout vs. Schematic), DRC (Design Rule Check) and timing clean.
- Participate in Functional Safety analysis activities and generate relevant documentation for standards compliance.
- Contribute to the design verification environment definition, implementation and debugging as required.
Requirements:
- 8+ years of related experience.
- Highly experienced in digital IC design flow from specification to tape-out.
- Skilled in SystemVerilog/Verilog/VHDL for design, simulation and verification.
- Knowledge/experience of scripting languages such as Perl, TCL etc.
- Expertise with digital design tools for synthesis. Cadence flow preferable.
- Experience in automotive product design and Functional Safety.
- Prior experience in designs using advanced CMOS process technologies from 180nm down to 28nm.
- Proven track record with multiple designs in mass production.
- BSc/MSc/BEng/MEng/PhD in related fields
