About the role

Develop MAC layer design for wireless communication SoCs, including creating microarchitecture and RTL based on system requirements, ensuring energy-efficient design, and collaborating with verification, emulation, and synthesis teams across pre-silicon and post-silicon stages.

Responsibilities

  • Prepare microarchitecture and RTL for digital logic of the wireless MAC based on a set of functional requirements.
  • Ensure lint, CDC, RDC cleanliness, and work with the synthesis team on timing closure.
  • Support verification/prototyping/emulation teams during pre-silicon verification, prototyping, and SW/FW development.
  • Support post-silicon validation, system integration, and debug efforts and attend to any required silicon design revisions.

Qualifications

  • BS in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field.
  • Excellent understanding of digital logic design fundamentals.
  • Ability to translate functional requirements into synthesizable Verilog or SystemVerilog RTL.
  • Knowledge of digital design flows such as RTL simulation and debug, synthesis, lint, STA, and LEC.
  • Excellent organization skills.
  • Excellent communication skills – both written and oral.
  • Ability to design multi-clock-domain logic and resolve CDC problems.
  • Experience in ASIC microarchitecture and RTL design.
  • Understanding wireless standards, such as IEEE 802.11, 802.15, Bluetooth or 3GPP.
  • Understanding of ASIC low power design techniques, e.g. multiple supply domains configuration and management, dynamic power/clock scaling and power analysis is a plus.
