  • You will be responsible for the simulation and verification of digital block implemented in RTL for various functions including control state machine digital signal processing (DSP), and multiple clock domain interface management
  • Post-layout simulation of complex mixed-signal SOC
  • You will develop test benches and test cases for block-level functional verification
  • Work with backend/implementation teams to address synthesis, timing, DFT issues for ASIC implementation
  • Define verification and test plan, run regressions, reproduce, and debug functional and performance bugs.
  • Collaborate with analog design engineers, CAD, systems engineering, test engineering and applications teams to ensure define optimal DFT, DFM features and achieve rapid silicon bring-up and time to production release
  • Analyze circuit for failure root cause analysis, investigate anomalous observations in silicon across various conditions, including PVT variations, and propose solutions
  • Verification of various IPs/Sub IPs integrated to top level SoC


Requirements

Qualinx is looking for a result-driven and conscientious Junior Digital Design Engineer. Someone who thrives in an environment where your proactive and can-do attitude is highly appreciated. The ideal candidate for this role must have:
