Description

  • Drive digital design for next-generation RAIN RFID Reader ICs from architecture through tapeout and silicon validation.
  • Develop micro-architectures, executable models, and RTL for complex digital and mixed-signal IC subsystems.
  • Collaborate with chip architects and RF/analog engineers on mixed-signal partitioning and implementation.
  • Partner with physical design and verification teams to achieve timing closure, signal integrity, and production-ready delivery.
  • Define and implement DFT strategies including scan insertion, BIST, and boundary scan.
  • Work with CAD/EDA engineers to improve ASIC/SoC design flows, methodologies, and best practices.
  • Enhance existing Reader IC products with new features, performance improvements, and power optimizations.
  • Support post-silicon bring-up and debug by correlating RTL, simulation, and lab results.

Requirements

  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Engineering with 12 years of experience, or 8 years with an MS, or 5 years with a PhD.
  • 12+ years of RTL design experience, including at least 2–3 full tapeout cycles, preferably on mixed-signal or RF-integrated ICs.
  • Strong digital logic design, micro-architecture, synthesis, and timing closure experience.
  • Proficiency in Verilog and SystemVerilog for RTL development, behavioral modeling, and verification.
  • Solid understanding of CDC analysis, clock gating, low-power design (UPF/CPF), and static timing analysis.
  • Experience with UVM-based verification, functional coverage, assertion-based verification, and DFT implementation (scan, MBIST, ATPG).
  • Scripting proficiency in Python, Perl, or UNIX shell for flow automation and productivity.
  • Proven ability to lead technical workstreams, mentor junior engineers, and communicate across analog, digital, and systems teams.
  • Experience with mixed-signal or RF-integrated ICs is preferred.

Benefits

  • Typical US base pay range of $158,700 - $238,100.
  • Eligibility for additional rewards including merit increases, annual bonus, and stock.
  • US-based employees have access to healthcare benefits.
  • 401(k) plan with company match.
  • Open paid time-off policy.
  • Support for remote work.
  • Weekly Q&A sessions with the executive team.
  • Commitment to work/life balance and an inclusive work environment.
