Responsibilities
MaxLinear is seeking a Senior Principal Digital Design Engineer to join our team. In this role, you will focus on the following:
Define microarchitecture for complex subsystems (e.g., 200/400G 802.3, PCIe 6/7, DSP, FEC, data compression, AI/HW accelerators)
Analyze standards (PCI-SIG, IEEE 802.3, UALink, etc) and translate into implementable RTL
Work with cross-functional project teams (DV, PD, System/Firmware) to define product specifications (PPA), system architecture, HW/SW partitioning, and execution plan
Lead improvements to design methodology to maximize efficiency and predictability
RTL implementation in SystemVerilog of communication/DSP/packet-processing functions
Block-level verification including creation of Verilog or UVM testbenches
System-level verification in UVM+SysC environments including test case creation/debug, functional coverage specification, and code coverage analysis
Perform preliminary synthesis and power estimation, including SDC constraint specification and vector-driven power analysis
Perform design quality checks including lint, CDC and DFT-readiness checks
Support emulator-based verification including debug of SW driven test cases
Post silicon bring-up support and debug in lab; support system integration and production testing
Provide technical leadership in the ASIC design team to develop and productize next generation communication and data center SoCs
Qualifications
Expert in digital design including micro-architecture definition and area/power/timing optimization
Solid understanding of high-speed interfaces (Ethernet/PCIe), particularly MAC/PCS (or Transaction/Data Link/PHY logical) layers, and associated clocking, reset, and CDC considerations
Experience with performance modeling and analysis, including performance constraint identification and optimization
Extensive experience with ASIC front-end design flow including RTL coding (SystemVerilog), directed/randomized verification, simulation/emulation debug, lint/CDC checks, synthesis, power analysis and timing closure support
Knowledge of communications/DSP/FEC algorithms and experience with power/area efficient fixed-point ASIC implementation a plus
Familiar with SoC integration, including clock/reset architecture, bus protocols, embedded CPUs
Strong logical and creative problem-solving skills with excellent analytical and debugging skills
Solid written and verbal communication skills
Flexibility to ramp quickly on new technologies, products, and methodologies
Self-motivated with ability to provide leadership and work effectively in fast-paced environment
BS in Electrical Engineering or related + 11 years of experience, or MS + 9 years of experience, or Ph.D. + 6 years of experience
