Principal Digital Design Engineer, Data Center & Energy, IVR Technology
About the Role
As a Principal Digital Design Engineer, you will drive technical strategy and innovation for complex digital systems, including System on Chips (SoCs). You'll define product and technology roadmaps, lead architecture for mission-critical projects, and serve as a technical authority within the organization. This position requires exceptional expertise across multiple domains and the ability to influence business direction while mentoring and developing technical talent.
Role Overview
Our power management ICs and next-gen products are driven by complex digital controllers. To expand our new design center in Munich we are seeking an experienced Principal Digital Design Engineer capable to lead digital RTL development of control logic for cutting-end PMICs and analog/mixed-signal ICs in FinFast™ technology.
You’ll define the digital architecture of our products, including embedded cores, NVMs/memories, proprietary and/or standard multi-bus systems, interfaces, multi-domain clock-trees. You will work closely with our analog, layout, firmware and verification international teams to develop ultra-compact, ultra-efficient digital controllers and contribute to top-level chip architecture.
Key Responsibilities
- Join the design team to define the top-level requirements of the digital functions and develop specifications
- Drive, design, implement and integrate digital blocks for power management ICs, including:
- Digital control loops (synchronous and asynchronous)
- State machines, multi-bus systems, embedded-cores, clock-trees
- Regulators and timing logic
- Self-Calibration and trimming logic
- Communication interfaces (e.g., PMBus, AVSbus, I2C/SPI, PCMI)
- Own and write synthesizable RTL with high reliability and efficiency.
- Work with AMS/DV teams to integrate digital RTL and gate-level netlists in mixed-signal/DV simulation environments.
- Own and execute synthesis, linting, CDC/STA checks, and backend/P&R support as needed.
Qualifications:
- B.S. or M.S. in Electrical or Computer Engineering.
- Typically 10-12 years of digital design experience in silicon-proven ICs.
- Solid experience in RTL design, finite state machines, and digital architectures for embedded/mixed-signal applications.
- Basic understanding of analog and full custom circuit design
- Experience with synthesis tools (Synopsys, Cadence) and flow setup.
- Familiarity with digital design flow including RTL simulation, logic synthesis, timing constraints, STA, back annotation of parasitic, gate level simulation, equivalence checking
- Excellent debugging skills and understanding of simulation tools (Xcelium)
- Experience with asynchronous digital design and/or embedded-cores is a plus
