Digital Design Engineer \u2013 High-Speed Communications \/ ASIC<\/span><\/h1>\n

Lausanne, Switzerland | UK options available<\/strong><\/span>
CHF 120,000\u2013130,000 + benefits<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

What if the architecture wasn\u2019t already decided before you joined?<\/span><\/p>\n

I\u2019m recruiting Digital Design Engineers for a small advanced semiconductor R&D team exploring new approaches to high-speed communications silicon.<\/span><\/p>\n

This is not simply a role where you receive a finished specification and spend the next year implementing one RTL block.<\/span><\/p>\n

The team is working on new digital and mixed-signal architectures, with the freedom to question existing approaches, investigate new ideas and help turn the strongest concepts into production silicon.<\/span><\/p>\n

What you\u2019ll work on<\/span><\/h3>\n

You\u2019ll contribute to the digital architecture and RTL development of advanced communications ICs, working closely with analog, architecture and wider design teams.<\/span><\/p>\n

The work can include:<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  • RTL design and microarchitecture<\/span><\/li>\n
  • High-speed digital design<\/span><\/li>\n
  • SerDes and high-speed interfaces<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Mixed-signal digital blocks<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Digital communications architectures<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Design exploration and architectural trade-offs<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Taking new concepts from R&D towards implementation in silicon<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    The projects have a 2\u20134 year R&D horizon, so there is genuine room to investigate new approaches rather than simply following an existing standard or product roadmap.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Who they\u2019re looking for<\/span><\/h3>\n

    You\u2019ll likely come from an ASIC \/ Digital IC Design background with strong RTL experience and exposure to at least some of the following:<\/span><\/p>\n

      \n
    • High-speed digital design<\/span><\/li>\n
    • SerDes<\/span><\/li>\n
    • Mixed-signal ICs<\/span><\/li>\n
    • Communications silicon<\/span><\/li>\n
    • Advanced digital architectures<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      You don\u2019t need to tick every box.<\/span><\/p>\n

      More important is that you enjoy solving problems where the answer isn\u2019t already written in the specification.<\/span><\/p>\n

      Why it\u2019s interesting<\/span><\/h3>\n

      The team is deliberately small and collaborative.<\/span><\/p>\n

      You\u2019ll be working closely with experienced engineers, discussing ideas at architecture level, whiteboarding solutions and having considerably more influence over the direction of the design than you might get in a larger organisation.<\/span><\/p>\n

      The objective is also very clear: this is exploratory engineering intended to become real silicon, not research that disappears into a presentation deck.<\/span><\/p>\n

      The primary R&D team is based in Lausanne, with engineers typically onsite around three days per week. There is also some location flexibility for the digital positions, including opportunities in the UK.<\/span><\/p>\n

      If you\u2019re a Digital Design Engineer who enjoys asking \u201ccould we build this differently?\u201d, I\u2019d be very interested in speaking with you please contact Steph Hutchinson.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
