Principal Integrated Circuit Design Engineer - Colorado Springs, United States - FRONTGRADE TECHNOLOGIES
Description
About Us:
Overview:
The Principal Digital Integrated Circuit (IC) Design Engineer is primarily responsible for IC development from chip architecture definition through release to production. This individual demonstrates aptitude and hands-on capability to design complex digital blocks, with knowledge/experience across the complete ASIC/SoC design flow. The Digital IC Design Engineer will gain experience with radiation-hardened design and analog/mixed-signal design. The Digital IC Design Engineer should be experienced in digital verification, Design-For-Test techniques, Standard Cell Library design methods, and the latest EDA tools.
The individual will apply IC design EDA tools to the design task, stay current in the latest design methodologies and maintain expertise in the latest EDA tools. The Digital IC Design Engineer will design and verify logic circuits, systems, and digital algorithms to meet product requirements. The individual will determine the proper methods and procedures for the digital system development, determine the best method for verifying the digital system before the IC design is committed to silicon, and provide validation and debug support for post-silicon activities.
Additional duties may include evaluation of design requirements, determining design methodologies, formulating estimates of effort/cost for new business proposals, and participation in continuous improvements to internal design methodologies. Hybrid work schedule to include on-site Tuesday -Thursday.
