Job Description
Senior Digital Design Engineer
At Allegro MicroSystems we seek an experienced engineer to define and implement digital architecture for our advanced motor drive ICs.
What You’ll Do
- Lead the definition of system level requirements and own the digital architecture for both IP level and full System on Chip (SoC) designs.
- Architect and implement reusable RTL modules, driving top level chip integration across the entire digital flow with an emphasis on low power and high performance design.
- Contribute to the evolution of digital design methodology, evaluating and deploying new tools and best practices to improve efficiency and quality.
- Collaborate on FPGA validation, pre silicon emulation, and robust verification of the entire system, ensuring a seamless hardware/software interface.
- Partner with verification to define success criteria and achieve comprehensive functional coverage for first pass silicon.
- Work with the physical implementation team to resolve critical timing, power, and area challenges on advanced technology nodes.
- Mentor junior engineers and serve as a technical partner to systems, software, test teams, customers, and EDA vendors.
Who You Are
- PhD or Master’s degree in Electronics or a related field (or equivalent experience).
- 6+ years of senior digital design or architecture experience, with a track record in complex algorithmic IP and full SoC design (CPU subsystems, interconnect fabrics such as AMBA/AXI, system protocols).
- Demonstrated success designing and implementing complex digital IP and contributing to SoC integration from specification to tape out and silicon validation.
- Strong command of advanced digital design principles, including low power and high speed techniques.
- Solid understanding and practical application of advanced DFT/DFM techniques (scan compression, BIST) and FPGA/emulation for complex systems.
- Excellent verbal and written communication skills and the ability to present complex technical concepts to diverse audiences.
- Experience mentoring and collaborating with junior engineers.
Additional Expertise (Plus)
- Expertise with Cadence or equivalent EDA toolsets for the entire front end design flow.
- Experience with functional safety standards such as ISO26262.
Travel Requirements
Up to 10-20% domestic and international travel to support customers, vendors, and off site design teams.
