Digital Design Engineer

We need you as a Digital IC Design Engineer to be part of our multidisciplinary team to:

Develop and implement RTL code that meets functional, performance, and area requirements based on design specifications.

Create a software environment for the CPU subsystem code development.

Work closely with architects and system engineers to understand design specifications and performance targets.

Use testbenches to verify functionality of RTL design against specifications.

Provide technical support and documentation for verification and physical design teams.

Document design specifications, RTL code, and design trade-offs clearly.

With your talent, passion and expertise, you’ll become part of a team that makes the impossible possible. We are committed to being an inclusive employer and proud of our open, multicultural, and informal working environment with ample possibilities to take initiative and show responsibility. We are aware that your valuable contribution makes imec a top player in its field. MSc or PhD in electronics engineering with 5+ years of relevant experience.

Strong experience with digital circuit design in (System) Verilog.

Experience with CPU software development environments.

Experience with digital verification: verification plan definition, verification methodologies (UVM), code/functional coverage, constrained random verification, verification plan execution and tracking.

Understanding of the remaining steps of the digital ASIC-design flow is required: logic synthesis, timing analysis, power simulation, logic equivalence, DFT and/or P&R.

Knowledge of FPGA-development is a plus.

Experience with Cadence IC design tools is a plus.

Experience with scripting languages like TCL, Matlab and Python is required.

Structural way of working and ability to develop and manage activity planning is highly preferred.

Thinking pro-actively, working independently and having a creative problem-solving attitude are attributes that define yourself.

Excellent communication skills in English (written and spoken).

The combination of our widely acclaimed leadership in microchip technology and profound software and ICT expertise is what makes us unique.
