Description:

The Central Digital IP team within Analog Devices Inc. is responsible for developing, curating, and providing reusable strategic IPs to Business Units to accelerate product development across the company. The team is looking for an experienced Principal Digital Design Engineer who will be responsible for providing technical leadership to the digital design team, while managing IP development and delivery.

The ideal candidate would be someone with strong technical background combined with management acumen and demonstrable ability to handle ambiguity while still finding creative ways to make things happen.

A key focus area for this position includes interacting and engaging with internal customers to communicate, identify, improve, and maintain developed IP, as well as scout for 3rd party IPs and evaluate them on a regular basis for future requirements.

Job Responsibilities:

• Architect and Design key digital blocks such as accelerators/ datapath IP in Verilog/ System Verilog with built-in configurability to allow Power/ Performance/ Area tradeoffs
• Develop strong understanding of heterogenous processor cores & subsystems (A55/ M55/ M4/ U55/ RISC-V/ DSP core, and associated infrastructure such as caches, interconnect fabric, GIC, DMA, MMU, Coresight Debug & Trace, TZC, SMPU, SPU) and their integration requirements
• Consolidate & curate digital IP for SPI/ I2C/ UART/ JTAG and other slow serial interfaces & peripherals
• Evaluate 3rd party IPs on Power/ Performance/ Area (PPA) and other key qualitative aspects such as design quality, Design For Testability, robustness of Design Verification (DV) practice, ease of integration and make recommendations
• Build deep expertise on complex interfaces, peripherals & protocols such as DDR, Ethernet, eMMC/ SD, MIPI, Display Port, HDMI, PCIe, high speed D2D
• Package Digital IP for seamless integration into design flow at different stages – RTL/ constraints/ CDC waivers, timing wavers, DFT DRCs and waivers, software programming sequence etc
• Develop and maintain catalog of digital IPs to enable ease of information sharing to customers across different BUs
• Develop User Guides for RTL Integration, Synthesis, DFT, PnR, Programming Sequence, characterization etc
• Establish evaluation flows for home-grown & 3rd party IPs for consistent benchmarking of evaluation

Position Requirements:

• Minimum B.E. /B.Tech degree in Electrical/Electronics/Computer science
• 5 -12+ years of digital logic design and hands-on RTL coding experience using Verilog and SystemVerilog
• Strong understanding of control path and data-path digital design concepts with an eye for realizing correct by construction solutions
• Experience with specifying Design Verification (DV) requirements such as test plans, coverage metrics, and evaluate DV quality so as to realize robust design quality
• Knowledge of Lint, CDC, formal equivalence, DFT concepts, power analysis
• Experience with developing timing constraints and ability to carry out logic synthesis and Static timing analysis
• Ability to technically mentor a few junior engineers
• Good interpersonal, teamwork and communication skills to logically & effectively drive discussions with teams spread geographically
• Understanding of standard on-chip interfaces such as APB/AHB/AXI/ Stream protocols is a strong plus
• Knowledge of Processor/SoC architecture and/or DSP fundamentals is a strong plus
• Experience with end-to-end ASIC/ SoC product development & productization is very desirable
