About the role

Analog Devices' Automatic Test Equipment (ATE) group, part of its Instrumentation business, is hiring a Lead (Staff) Digital Design Engineer in Limerick. The role covers complex digital challenges, acting as a key technical resource and leader for the organization, with influence across organizational boundaries.

Key responsibilities

• Architect and design digital blocks and complex subsystems, writing detailed block and subsystem-level specifications.
• Design digital blocks, subsystems and top-level designs in Verilog and SystemVerilog, and build block-level testbenches.
• Verify block functionality and work with verification teams to close chip verification and coverage.
• Perform linting, CDC analysis and power analysis, and assist with synthesis, constraints, PnR and timing closure.
• Work with mixed-signal designers and verification engineers on simulations and real-number modeling across the analog/digital boundary.
• Prepare technical documentation, lead architecture, design and peer reviews, and support silicon bring-up, characterization and debug.
• Collaborate with analog, digital, verification, test and product definition teams on requirements and production test development.
• Act as a primary technical resource for less experienced engineers, lead teams and complex projects, and perform advanced process evaluations and optimizations.

Required profile

• MSEE or equivalent: Master's in Electrical Engineering with 7+ years of relevant experience, or PhD with 4+ years.
• Experience designing and verifying complex digital systems in Verilog/SystemVerilog, and hands-on silicon bring-up and debug.
• Experience leading teams and/or projects.
• Clear written and verbal communication, teamwork and proactive problem solving.

Required skills

• Expert-level digital IC architecture design and process evaluation.
• Timing analysis, power estimation, physical design and DFT concepts.
• Behavioral modeling of mixed-signal systems.
• Matlab and design of DSP blocks, including digital filters and signal-processing algorithms.
• High-speed SerDes transceiver architectures.
