Staff/Sr. Staff PHY Design Engineer

Job Description:

Join Innophase IoT group as a PHY Design Engineer and be responsible for Low-power WiFi, BT/BLE micro-architecture and design. You will be involved in the design development cycle, which includes participating in high-level product specifications, RTL development, working closely with Algorithm and verification engineers.

Your specific responsibilities may include but are not limited to the following:

• Develop and refine Digital Signal Processing engines for wireless communication systems.
• Develop micro-architecture, and SystemVerilog RTL to meet size, timing, and power target.
• Analyze, and identify bottlenecks in design and provide feedback on micro-architecture, and optimizations.
• Develop, and refine design, verification and analysis tools and flows, as needed.
• Work closely with Verification, and Validation teams on test-plans, coverage-analysis
• Work closely with Physical Design teams to provide guidance on Floor planning, specification of constraints, and timing closure.

Required Qualifications:

• BSEE or MSEE, with experience in ASIC development and/or FPGA prototyping
• 7+ years of experience in RTL design using Verilog, SystemVerilog
• Understanding of Digital Signal Processing theory, and mapping to design
• Experience in WiFi Physical Layer, and/or other Physical layer like Cellular (WiMax, LTE, NR), Bluetooth, Zigbee, UWB, and/or other Physical layer (Ethernet) technologies
• Ability to work independently, and proactively identify and resolve issues.
• Experience with Incisive/Excellium/VCS, Verdi, Jasper/Spyglass or equivalent tools
• Experience in partitioning, synthesis, placement, timing closure for FPGA and/or ASICs
• Experience with front-end design and integration tasks including lint, CDC, synthesis, and developing timing ECOs.
• Enjoy debugging, and problem solving in a team environment.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience in Low Power design development, involving multiple power, and voltage domains.
• Embedded SW & HW design is a strong plus.
• Experience with Python, Perl, Tcl, C/C++ and shell scripts.
• Experience with lab debug, multi-team, multi-site working environment is a strong plus.
• Experience with ASIC and FPGA synthesis flows utilizing industry leading flows.
• Experience using PowerArtist/Joules and providing actionable feedback into design.
