Digital Design Engineer

Main purpose:
The development of state of the art wireless systems from specification through to detailed component-level design, and eventual hand-over to volume production.

Specifically this requires the individual to take a role in digital IC (FPGA and ASIC) design and digital circuit design at a board level. The job function includes contributing to the architecture specification, actual circuit design, design implementation, verification and approval for volume production of the architecture.

In this role you will be responsible for:
Specifying and designing digital ASIC or FPGA functions.
Digital design at a board-level. You will also be responsible for guiding and reviewing PCB layout.
Programming FPGAs to emulate the ASIC designs for lab testing before chip sign-off.
Working at all times as part of a close-knit multi-disciplinary project team focussed on delivering the design solution to client.
Contributing to proposals and quotations.
Creating novel design solutions that will be of particular interest to clients.
Identifying and pursuing new techniques and circuit solutions for digital IC design to maintain leading edge capability.

Minimum requirements
With an appropriate background working for an Electronics Design or IC Design company, you will have experience of digital ASIC or FPGA design as well as design of board level circuits.
Embedded microprocessor design experience would be valuable.
Familiar with design practices for high-speed digital board design.
An appreciation of analogue design techniques. A good understanding of analogue design will be considered an advantage but is not mandatory.
Experience of the following tools would be valuable:
Synopsys VCS Verilog
Synopsys Design Compiler
Synplicity Synplify Pro
Xilinx FPGA Place and Route
