Staff Digital IC Designer
Apply NowCompany: Xenter
Location: San Jose, CA 95123
Description:
Xenter is a technology in medicine company that is bringing medical devices to the digital age. Xenter is revolutionizing medicine by developing and launching smart/wireless guidewires and catheters that transmit data through a proprietary wireless network to our proprietary cloud that houses real time Physical Intelligence medical data.
Reports to: VP, Semiconductor Technology
Location: San Francisco Bay Area or Salt Lake City
Salary Range: $150K to $200K
Overview:
You will be a key member in the ASIC team responsible for designing and verifying ultrasound transducer systems for medical imaging applications. You will architect the state-of-art acoustic sensing systems and the ASICs required to realize them. You will be expected to take high level user requirements and create a realizable system that meets these goals. This will include high level modeling of proposed solutions, along with creating detailed specifications of the requirements. This is a highly cross-functional role, and you will work with others to identify critical aspects of how the design will interact with the overall product.
Responsibilities:
Work closely with the system architects to design world-class capacitive micromachined ultrasound transducer chips and IP blocks, which meet performance, power and area targets.
As an ASIC Design Engineer, the individual's primary responsibility will be RTL design
This will include block/function definition, specification, design, simulation and unit level verification of digital functions on Mixed Signal ASICs
Implement the function in Verilog RTL to specification
Perform unit level testing on the RTL function
Support the DV team by writing self-checking tests as required
Collaborate with specialists from cross-disciplinary design and technology teams.
Assist verification team in unit verification including test plan development.
Assist with debug and bring-up.
Minimum Experience:
Strong knowledge of power reduction methodologies
Experience in setting up Power Distribution architecture, power intent specification and validation methodology
Flow automation scripts using Perl/Python, Tcl, and shell scripts
Power user of industry standard RTL Design & Synthesis tools
Knowledge of Extraction and STA methodology and tools
Knowledge of best practices with respect to implementation of digital logic
Understanding of digital design flow including RTL simulation, logic synthesis, timing constraints, timing closure, STA, back annotation of parasitics, gate level simulation, equivalence checking
Working with Physical Design Team on STA, physical, power and logical issues
Familiarity with lab equipment and debugging in the lab environment.
Strong problem-solving skills and be able work in a fast paced collaborative environment. Be able to adapt to priority and task change quickly. Focus on details and getting tasks to completion. Independently explore new innovative ideas.
Excellent written and verbal communication skills and solid teamwork skills.
Minimum Education:
PhD or Master degree in Electrical Engineering (Digital design/Digital Signal Processing/Low power applications) or related field.
