Verification Engineer/ Mixed Signal Design Engineer

Job Description

Nashua, NH

Function:
You will start in the Nashua development team as a Mixed Signal Design Engineer coached by the System Architect. You will design and/or verify Digital logic to be implemented in imager and image processing products as well as contribute to the top level chip verification.

Accountabilities:
Defines, together with the Business Unit and the System Architect, the optimal digital concepts and specifications for the project, as well as the interface between the digital and analog part of the IC.
Design and implement digital logic and circuits including digital image processing blocks, state machines, and microcontrollers.

Develop and implement system level simulations to ensure the correct operation of both the analog and digital portions of the device.
Work with the analog designers to create digital models of the analog blocks to ensure correct interaction between the analog and digital portions of the design.
Participate in design reviews, evaluation and characterization of prototype units in order to contribute to the early identification of deviations/problems and to propose solutions for them.
Collaborate with the Test Engineer to ensure that the design can be efficiently and fully tested. Provide the Test Engineer with all relevant documentation in order to allow him to release the product in time within specification to the production site.
Contribute to the digital simulation and to the top simulation process to ensure that the product has been developed according to the specification predefined with the Business Unit.
Continuously evaluate design processes to propose improvements in terms of efficiency.
Exchange knowledge across the sites and maximize the standardization of the process and technologies in order to reduce the time-to-market and the product quality.
Take the complete ownership of the digital design and analog/digital interface activities of a project.
Technical Competencies:
Top Level Design: Knowledge of modeling skills principles in order to develop an initial model (block diagram, state flow diagrams, behavioral level HDL code, etc) that forms a foundation for prototyping complex projects. Knowledge of the specific methods used to do this (e.g. Simulink, Visio, Verilog). Able to set up the global digital block specifications and define the interface to analog.
Top Level Simulation: Able to simulate mix-mode design and to perform the final top simulation of a complex project (digital and analog parts), with focus on the digital part. Knowledge of the specific tools and processes to efficiently perform simulations (e.g. Verilog-AMS, SimVision).
Design Implementation: In-depth knowledge of design concepts in order to have the overall database (schematics and HDL code) set up, according to the block and products specifications, complying with standard design-methodology rules in order to maximize design reusability. Knows the specific methods used to implement that database in technical terms (CAD tools). In-depth knowledge of the simulation tools to guarantee an efficient design process and a product according to the specification requirements.
Cross Simulation: Able to develop test benches and to conduct simulation on a block developed by another designer. Take the appropriate decision and propose technical solution if needed
Documentation: Able to document the overall database, simulations, design decisions and characterization results in a thorough way according to design standards.
Test: Contribute to test concept during the design phase in order to guarantee a cost effective test program (test time) with the appropriate test coverage. Make sure that the test group receives the necessary information on time in order to work efficiently.
Product Characterization (ISIR): Able to contribute to the characterization plan. Able to conduct analysis in order to validate the design of the produ
