Senior Staff Digital Design Engineer for UWB (f/m/div)

Digital design is not just an abstract term for you, but your daily tool of the trade? Do you have technical expertise in chip design, creating a chip from RTL to netlist, and you are eager to share this with your colleagues? As a Senior Staff Digital Design Engineer for UWB, you will be, together with a strong team, responsible for ensuring that our UWB IP meets the specified requirements in all modes and configurations.

Job Description

As a Senior Staff Digital Design Engineer for UWB, you will have the opportunity to drive the development of next-generation UWB solutions, collaborating with a talented team of experts to shape the future of this exciting technology. With this position you will be entering our “Technical Ladder”: our career path for experts. You will be able to focus deeply on technology – while further pursuing your career. As you continually expand your expert knowledge, puzzle over matters and solve problems, you will position yourself as a thought leader – thus helping our products improve our world a bit more each day.

In your new role you will:

• Conceptualize and translate custom complex signal processing algorithms from MATLAB (system) to RTL
• Evaluate performance trade-offs and propose innovative improvements to existing UWB features
• Run simulations, synthesis, timing/power analysis
• Work closely with other function teams (verification, system, analog, application, etc.) both internal or external
• Share, argument and document specifications and architectural choices
• Contribute to validation of silicon and ensure production release
• Proactively drive the improvement of existing IPs and design flows
• Contribute to the team’s growth by helping others in a day-to-day basis

Your Profile

Although you are able to develop your tasks independently, you work effectively as part of a global team, always being willing to both give and take help when necessary. Your proactive personality allied with your excellent communication skills allow you to solve problems in an effective way and mitigate risks early.

Furthermore, you have a detail-oriented mindset and enjoy driving innovation.

You are best equipped for this task if you have:

• At least 3 years of professional or academic experience in ASIC RTL to GDS flow, with the ability to understand & debug VHDL, and write SystemVerilog RTL
• Experience in custom digital signal processing design (hardware level), ideally for wireless communications
• Experience in RF/wireless communication is a plus
• Experience in UWB communication protocol is a strong plus
• Tape out experience in advanced technology nodes: experience with UPF flow, synthesis, timing analysis, place-and-route, DFT and CDC implementations is a plus
• A Master's or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or comparable. PhD in a related field is a plus
• Proficient verbal and written communication in English, precise and clear documenting methodology

In addition, you:

• Have high degree of own initiative and interest for interdisciplinary work
• Have strong interest in growing your expertise in digital wireless systems and implementation
• Approach problems with curiosity and flexibility, are a good listener, fast learner and take responsibility
