The team is looking for an experienced

Digital Design Lead

who will be responsible for providing technical leadership to the digital design team, while managing IP development and delivery.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:Provide technical leadership and expertise to a team of design engineers on all aspects of digital design & quality assurance

(CDC, Low Power design, Synthesis & timing closure, Design for Test improvements, silicon debug etc)Architect and Design

key digital blocks

such as accelerators/ data path IP in Verilog/ System Verilog with built-in configurability to allow Power/ Performance/ Area tradeoffsDemonstrate 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 requirementsWork closely with all stakeholders, including product teams, project managers, senior managers & leadership team to align team schedules, milestones, commitments, deliverablesConduct detail-oriented design reviews

and drive adherence to quality metricsCreate and manage a streamlined workflow for the design team that enables them to work collaboratively and efficiently. This includes creating a project visibility system and setting up design review processes to establish a clear scheme of design deliveryDrive efforts towards development of Design Management and IP Centric infrastructure and flows

across different tools such as Methodics / Perforce / Github / IP catalog creation etcDevelop and maintain catalog of digital IPs

to enable ease of information sharing to customers across different BUsLead the way to build deep expertise on complex interfaces , peripherals & protocols such as DDR, Ethernet, eMMC/ SD, MIPI, Display Port, HDMI, PCIe, high speed D2DPackage 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.Drive evaluation of 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 recommendationsEstablish evaluation flows

for home-grown & 3rd party IPs for consistent benchmarking of evaluationManage & streamline efforts towards consolidation/ curation of digital IP blocks, such as standard peripherals, processor cores & collaterals, high speed protocol & interface IPStrive to remove complexity and ambiguity within the teams and their processes. Ability to distil and provide clear and actionable recommendations to the teamPosition Requirements :Minimum B.E. /B.
