Sr Digital IC Designer

Addison Group, San Jose, CA, United States


As a Senior Digital IC Designer, you will join the Mixed Signal Products team to design power-efficient, high-performance mixed-signal ICs for consumer and automotive markets. Key responsibilities include developing custom digital cores, focusing on low-power design, collaborating with analog teams, and optimizing the digital design flow. Familiarity with ARM, DSP, and RISC-V architectures is a strong advantage.

Core Responsibilities:

  • Digital IC Design
    Create custom, power-efficient digital cores for mixed-signal ICs in audio, haptics, and power management.

  • Low-Power Design
    Emphasize battery-powered applications, using techniques like clock gating and dynamic voltage scaling.

  • Architecture Development
    Work with system architects for seamless analog-digital integration.

  • Digital Design Flow
    Oversee RTL design, verification, synthesis, timing closure, and power optimization.

  • Power Optimization & Validation
    Build robust verification environments and maintain strict power specifications.

Required Qualifications:

  • Expert in digital IC design and low-power custom core optimization.
  • Experience with RTL design, synthesis, and mixed-signal IC verification.
  • Proficiency in Verilog, VHDL, SystemVerilog, and tools like Cadence, Synopsys, and Mentor.
  • Knowledge of ARM, DSP, and RISC-V in high-performance systems.
  • Hands-on with synthesis, place & route, and timing closure.

Preferred Qualifications:

  • DSP/RISC-V expertise and ARM-based low-power systems experience.
  • Automotive IC experience and understanding of consumer electronics design challenges.
