- Experience with system design methodologies that contain multiple clock domains.
- Experience in low-power design issues, tools, and methodologies including UPF power intent specification effective.
- Familiarity with common on-chip bus protocols such as AMBA (AXI, AHB, APB).
- Industry exposure to and knowledge of ASIC/FPGA design methodology including familiarity with relevant scripting languages (Python, Perl, TCL).
- Good collaboration skills with strong written and verbal communication skills.
- Experience working multi-functionally with integration, design, and verification teams to specify, design, and debug digital systems
Description
As an ASIC Design Engineer in the Pixel IP design team, you will work closely with many multi-functional teams (chip integration, physical design, power, logic design, and verification) to build commitment and low power pixel processing engines. Your expertise in integrating large systems-on-a-chip, low-power design techniques, and front-end implementation will enable the team to deliver dedication and low power pixel processing engines on time. In this front-end design role, your tasks will include:
- Integrate large pixel-processing subsystems using SystemVerilog, connecting to high-performance on-chip networks using virtual memory addressing, adding Design-For-Test (DFT) logic, and managing clocks, resets, and power domains.
- Performing front-end implementation, including logic synthesis, clock & reset domain-crossing checks, static timing analysis, power analysis, logic equivalence checking.
- Working with Physical Design teams for physical floor planning and timing closure.
- Collaborating with multi-functional teams to explore solutions that improve performance while minimizing power and area.
- Working closely with design verification and formal verification teams to debug and verify functionality and performance.
