Company

A global semiconductor corporation specializing in the design and production of essential mixed-signal integrated circuits.

What you will do

• Design digital logic circuits (FSMs, control logic, data path components) for mixed-signal ICs based on system specifications.
• Perform static design verification including Lint, Clock Domain Crossing (CDC), and Reset Domain Crossing (RDC) analysis.
• Research and implement AI/ML techniques to automate test generation, design space exploration, and bug triage.
• Generate behavioral models using SystemVerilog or Verilog-A and build FPGA prototypes for pre-silicon validation.
• Analyze simulation, synthesis, and timing reports to validate design quality across different PVT conditions.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to perform post-silicon bring-up and root cause analysis of silicon behavior.

Requirements

• Must be based in or able to work in San Jose, CA
• Master's degree in Electrical/Computer Engineering with 2 years of experience, or a Bachelor's with 4 years of experience in digital IC design.
• Proven experience in RTL design using Verilog or SystemVerilog.
• Experience with simulation tools such as Cadence Xcelium for RTL debugging and coverage analysis.
• Expertise in static design checks (Lint, CDC, RDC) and FPGA prototyping.
• Direct experience using AI/ML tools to enhance digital design automation and verification workflows.
