IC Digital Design Engineer (Front-end)

Your future job

At Melexis, we’re searching for a Digital Design Engineer who doesn’t just design circuits but becomes their complete owner from the initial idea to the mass production. As a Digital Design Engineer, you’ll play a pivotal role in crafting the digital core of our smart integrated circuits. Here’s your chance to step up, take true ownership of every aspect of your designs, and bring them to life in an environment with a true team spirit and exciting challenges.

More specifically, you will:

• Dive into the development of our innovative digital platform: Push the boundaries of what’s possible in the semiconductor industry by performing advanced Verilog/SystemVerilog RTL coding for smart automotive sensors and SoC solutions.
• Collaborate with Expert teams: Join forces with our System and component Architects to seamlessly blend Analog blocks, Digital logic, and Embedded Software, unlocking new dimensions of performance.
• Architect for Excellence: Contribute your expanding expertise to the architectural blueprint based on the product specification. You will leverage your architectural knowledge of microcontrollers, bus systems, complex DFT, and key peripherals to optimize for efficiency, safety, low power, and testability.
• Implement Advanced Safety & Interfaces: Design and integrate critical serial interfaces and implement robust hardware safety mechanisms focused on ISO26262 error detection & correction
• Deliver Impeccable Validation & Verification: Harness your growing prowess in the SystemVerilog version to collaborate closely with verification teams. Explore advanced strategies like scenario building, fault injection to test safety mechanisms, and formal proof to guarantee automotive-grade quality and precision.
• Document, Script, and Support: Utilize scripting languages like Python and TCL to automate front-end implementation tasks and environment setups. Share your knowledge by providing valuable documentation and cross-functional support to our analog, verification, test, and quality teams.

Your profile
