Senior Design Engineer PHYMAC

Austin, TX

Meet the Team

As a Design Engineer focusing on digital design and verification of wireless PHY and MAC layer IPs and systems for low-power System-on-Chip IoT products, you will join a specialized team of IP/SoC engineers driving multiple wireless communications technologies such as Bluetooth Low-Energy, 802.15.4 Zigbee/Thread, 802.11 Wi-Fi and proprietary short-range wireless. 

You will be part of a highly skilled and tight-knit team where everyone can have significant impact on and responsibility for the end products. You’ll also be interacting firsthand with other design teams, software designers and customer support teams. We strive to strike a good work/life balance and make our environment welcoming and fun, so we seek someone whose technical skills are matched by their interpersonal skills.

• You will take designs through the complete development lifecycle from concept/study to silicon bring-up
• Perform architectural studies to determine optimal hardware implementations of PHY and MAC layer designs to meet product requirements
• Develop and review detailed and concise architecture and design specification documents
• RTL logic design of modules using Verilog HDL. Designs may include protocol/MAC accelerators, filters, signal acquisition, timing recovery, mixers, equalizers, FFTs, FEC encoders/decoders and AGC
• Develop testbenches to verify the functionalities of IPs at sub-system and chip levels
• Develop low level C-code Firmware for embedded processors
• Prepare and hold architecture, design and verification reviews with technical staff throughout the project lifecycle
• Pre-silicon verification utilizing a combination of block/chip-level test benches and FPGA emulation
• Validation/bring-up of designs on silicon, providing support to cross-functional teams

• Experience in block and chip-level verification and emulation
• Experience with logic simulators for both RTL and gate-level simulation, design/waveform browsers, and power analysis tools
• Experience using MATLAB or other high-level modeling language/tool for designing and evaluating communication systems and algorithms
• Knowledge of scripting/language (Perl, shell, TCL, python)
• Excellent written and verbal communications skills
• Experience/knowledge in SoC architecture, CPU features, buses, debug, test, power management and UVM based verification methodology is a plus
