Senior Staff Digital Design Engineer (LoRa)

Location: Neuchâtel, Switzerland

Salary: 112,500–150,000 CHF per year

Company

hirify.global develops low-power, long-range wireless solutions across RF and analog design, digital architecture, protocol development, and cloud connectivity, including LoRa and LoRaWAN technologies.

What you will do

• Design and implement digital subsystems for complex mixed-signal ICs, including CPU-based architectures, finite-state machines, interconnects, and peripherals.
• Define digital architectures and contribute to system-level design decisions and trade-offs.
• Collaborate with analog design teams to define interfaces and integrate mixed-signal components.
• Debug RTL and verification issues, identify root causes, and drive resolution.
• Support block-level and chip-level verification, lab validation, product qualification, and production readiness.
• Improve design methodologies, tools, and overall design quality in collaboration with Validation, Test, and Product teams.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field.
• 8+ years of experience in digital IC design, preferably in mixed-signal environments.
• Strong knowledge of frontend-to-backend digital IC development flow, timing closure, and low-power design techniques.
• Experience with MCU-based architectures such as ARM, RISC-V, or STM32 and digital microarchitecture.
• Proficiency in SystemVerilog, Verilog, or VHDL, plus scripting with Python, Tcl, or Perl.
• Experience with industry-standard EDA tools and verification methodologies such as UVM, OVM, or formal verification.

Nice to have

• Experience with wireless communication systems such as BLE or IEEE 802.15.4.
• Knowledge of transceiver architectures, modulation, demodulation, and signal processing.
• Experience with cryptographic block design, FPGA design, or FPGA-based system validation.
• Familiarity with Git and collaborative development tools.
• Understanding of embedded firmware, analog interaction, and system-level modelling.

Culture & Benefits

• Collaborative engineering environment spanning the full wireless system stack.
• Mentorship and continuous learning resources supporting professional development.
• Pay-for-performance culture recognising initiative and technical and leadership contributions.
• Opportunities to expand technical influence and shape digital engineering capabilities.
