Design Engineer

Staff Microcontroller Subsystem Design Engineer

• Ireland - EU Relocation Offered

We are seeking a Staff Microcontroller Subsystem Design Engineer to join a premier IP engineering team. This role is central to driving embedded processing solutions—spanning security, power management, and core system functions—across diverse product portfolios including IoT, Mobile, Automotive, XR, and Compute platforms. You will shape next-generation digital architectures, driving micro-architecture definitions and RTL implementation through to silicon bring-up.

Key Responsibilities

• Architect and author high-performance, low-latency, and low-power RTL for both simple and complex digital logic blocks.
• Implement multi-clock domain crossing (CDC) and multi-power domain strategies for advanced SoC integration.
• Optimize digital designs across Power, Performance, and Area (PPA) constraints.
• Lead execution debugging during design phases and support post-silicon validation and bring-up.
• Partner closely with DFT, Physical Design/Implementation, Verification, Emulation, and Firmware teams.
• Create and maintain comprehensive technical design specifications.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field.
• 5+ years of hands-on ASIC / SoC digital design experience.
• Deep experience in RTL development using SystemVerilog or Verilog.
• Technical familiarity with modern Instruction Set Architectures (ISAs) such as RISC-V or ARM (including THUMB).
• Practical experience handling multi-clock and multi-power domain design challenges.
• Strong scripting capability using Python or Perl for flow automation.
• Exposure to lower-node advanced semiconductor process technologies.
