Digital Design Engineer

About the position

BrainChip is seeking a Digital Design Engineer to join a team working on cutting-edge and novel AI hardware. The primary job function is to work with team members to design and develop digital modules from concept stage to tape out or FPGA release. This position will be part of our Hardware Development group. The Digital Design Engineer needs to be able to start from a Product Requirement Specification, develop a feasible micro architecture, implement the function using RTL language, verify the functionality, and follow up until completion of the product.

Responsibilities

• Understand product requirements, gather the relevant information, and develop a solution.
• Use RTL language to design the digital functional modules.
• Program, debug, and build the FPGA for system verification.
• Use simulation tools to check the functionalities of the designs in RTL and gate level.
• Collaborate with other team members to define a verification methodology and a test plan.
• Write clear documentation of the designs.

Requirements

• BS/MS in Electrical Engineering or related degree or certification required
• 3+ years of experience in digital logic design
• Good understanding of modern computational architectures
• Fluent in Verilog and SystemVerilog
• Knowledge of CPU and SRAM based SoC components and system busses (AXI, AHB, APB) is strongly desired
• Knowledge of standard SoC interfaces (SPI, I2C, etc.) and high-speed IO protocols (PCIe, USB, DDR) is a plus
• Good skills in Python and shell scripting are desired
• Good debugging skills, and well experienced with VCS/Verdi or similar toolsets.
