Digital IP Design - Senior Lead Engineer

Job Opportunity: Seeking highly motivated, energetic, team-oriented Individual Contributor willing to go deeper into logic design and take the challenge of architecting and developing Complex IPs / Subsystems using the latest advanced Design flow methodologies and efficient techniques.

The person would be working closely with experienced and motivated team of global systems experts, SoC Design functions to address the design/architectural challenges in the context of the complex IP, Subsystem and overall System level designs, towards providing a complete solution with end to end design flow from High Level Specifications to actual design Implementation.

Key Responsibilities

• Architect and Design complex IP and Subsystems across a range of protocols required for Automotive Self Driving Vehicles (ADAS) both Vision and Radar, In-Vehicle networks, Gateway Systems, Fail Safe Subsystems (ASIL-D) etc.
• Own and Lead IP / Subsystem from Concept till IP Design and Development achieving final design performance in integrated system within aggressive, market driven schedules.
• Ensure quality adherence during all stages of the IP development cycle and carry out a thorough analysis of existing processes, recommend and implement the process improvements to ensure ‘Zero Defect’ designs.
• Ability to work well as part of a team of global and local experts to influence and build technological innovations.

Key Skills

• Self starter with 7-13 years of experience to Architect and Design complex IP design / Sub-system with minimal supervision.
• Custom Processor Designs with key DSP functions like those needed for Vision and Radar processing.
• Experience in High Speed Serial protocols and associated high speed challenges on controller and PHY for PCIe, USB & MIPI CSI / DSI.
• Understanding of key External Memory interface protocols including DDR4 / LPDDR4, QuadSPI Flash interfaces.
• Experience in microcontroller architecture, Cache, protocols like AHB/AMBA AXI.
• Experience in automotive protocols like LIN, CAN, Flexray – would be advantageous.
• Extensive hands on knowledge of HDLs (Verilog/VHDL), Scripting languages (Perl, Tcl), C/C++ for hardware modeling.
• Understanding of end to end IP development flow including complex CDC, RDC constructs, IP Synthesis, DFT ATPG coverage.
• Work on Testbench and Testplan development closely with the verification team. Addressing of Testability aspects of the IP / Subsystem along with functional requirements would be an advantage.
• Hands on work on pre silicon validation using FPGA/Emulation Board would be a significant added advantage.

Key Soft Skills

• Proficient skills in both written and verbal communication. Can articulate well.
• Has a sense of Ownership and engages everyone with Trust and Respect.
• Should demonstrate Emotional Intelligence and Leadership values with ability to work well as a part of team both local and remote or multisite.
