Staff Engineer- IC Design
Silicon Labs
- Hyderabad, Telangana
- Permanent
- Full-time
- Lead the development and execution of Wireless SoC’s from definition, through execution, and into production
- Definition and Planning
- Coordinate with the product marketing teams to develop the SoC requirements. Provide the necessary design collateral to support the product approval gates.
- Develop and maintain the SoC architecture or technical specification to meet the product requirements, with a key goal to maximize IP reuse.
- Develop the design schedule, including milestones and resource requirements. Coordinate with cross functional teams (such as software) on dependencies.
- Project Execution
- Coordinate with global design functional leads (RF, baseband, verification, etc) to track execution, triage issues, and perform prudent escalation.
- Represent the design community to provide succinct weekly status and attend the cross functional meeting. Drive design action items to closure.
- Perform SoC Design Integration and maintain design collateral such as documentation, register libraries, and pinouts delivered to cross functional teams.
- Follow established quality procedures and processes to achieve first tapeout.
- Validation to Production
- Actively support the validation and product test teams during silicon bringup, validation, characterization, and qualification.
- Triage, track, and resolve issues reported during silicon evaluation. Execute a metal or full layer revision, if necessary
- Capable of leading complex IP, SOC development projects execution. Experience coordinating with contractors a plus.
- Top-down planning and execution of SOC projects.
- Experience in full-chip development cycle
- Able to build strong technical team.
- Hands-on experience in architecture, micro-architecture, digital design processes
- Knowledge of high-speed interfaces like USB, PCIe, Ethernet, Mobile DDR, Quad/Octa-SPI
