What does a Digital IC Design Engineer do?

A Digital IC Design Engineer is responsible for designing, developing, and verifying digital integrated circuits (ICs) used in electronic devices. They work with hardware description languages (HDLs) like VHDL or Verilog to create digital logic circuits and simulate their functionality. Their tasks include architecture definition, RTL coding, synthesis, timing analysis, and verification to ensure performance and power efficiency. They collaborate with cross-functional teams, including physical design and verification engineers, to bring IC designs from concept to silicon manufacturing.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a Digital IC Design Engineer?

To thrive as a Digital IC Design Engineer, you need a solid background in digital logic design, Verilog or VHDL coding, and an understanding of semiconductor device fundamentals, typically supported by a degree in electrical or electronics engineering. Familiarity with EDA tools (such as Cadence, Synopsys, or Mentor Graphics), simulation environments, and industry standards like IEEE 1800 is highly valued, with relevant certifications being a plus. Attention to detail, strong problem-solving skills, and effective teamwork and communication abilities are essential soft skills in this field. These competencies are crucial for designing, verifying, and optimizing complex integrated circuits in collaborative, deadline-driven environments.

Job description

Silanna Semiconductors is actively seeking an experienced Senior Digital Design Engineer to contribute to the design and development of integrated circuit solutions related to Silanna’s innovative mixed-signal technology.

This position requires participation in all aspects of the IC development cycle including RTL architecture and design, SystemVerilog/UVM verification, design integration, synthesis support, timing analysis, FPGA prototyping, and test bench debug and characterization.

Experience with physical implementation flows including synthesis and place-and-route is highly desirable.

Essential Duties and Responsibilities

The team drives architecture, design, implementation, and verifcation of mixed-signal systems that include circuit blocks such as PLLs, DLLs, VCOs, ADCs, DACs, Filters, clock distribution and/or recovery systems.

  • Develop RTL designs in Verilog/SystemVerilog for complex digital and mixed-signal integrated circuits
  • Define and implement verification environments using SystemVerilog and UVM methodologies
  • Create test plans, constrained-random testbenches, assertions, coverage models, and regression suites
  • Collaborate with system engineers to optimize circuit designs and system specification trade-offs
  • Perform block-level and top-level integration and verification
  • Analyze and debug functional, timing, CDC, reset, and integration issues
  • Support synthesis, static timing analysis, lint, CDC, and low‑power verification flows
  • Assist with top‑level assembly and design tapeout to semiconductor foundry
  • Collaborate with backend engineers on synthesis, floorplanning, timing closure, and place‑and‑route activities
  • Create SystemVerilog models of the analog blocks
  • Characterize and debug relevant blocks in silicon
  • Perform bench testing and verification from prototype debug through production release
  • Report the results of IC design, analysis, and evaluation
Required Skills and Experience
  • Strong background in RTL design, digital IC architecture, DSP, and functional verification methodologies
  • Solid understanding of Verilog/SystemVerilog, UVM, digital design fundamentals, clock-domain crossing, reset synchronization, timing closure, and ASIC/SoC
    development flows
  • Familiarity with mixed-signal integration and modeling techniques
  • Experience with industry-standard EDA tools for simulation, verification, synthesis, PNR, and debug
  • Experience with bench testing, characterization, and debug of analog/mixed-signal circuits using test/measurement equipment and computer software
  • Strong technical communication skills including verbal and writing skills
  • Ability to work effectively in a collaborative, cross‑functional engineering environment
Experience
  • Bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering (BSEE) required with relevant industry experience; Master’s (MSEE) preferred
  • Preferably 5+ years in digital IC/ASIC design and verification
  • Required familiarity with working in agent-based (Agentic) AI environments
  • Exposure to synthesis flows and physical design (e.g., place‑and‑route, timing closure, power optimization) is a plus
  • Proficiency in UNIX/Linux and strong Python scripting skills are desirable
  • Experience with FPGA prototyping and emulation platforms is a plus
  • Background in mixed-signal design is advantageous
Pay Range and Other Compensation and Benefits

USD $200,000 – $250,000 Annually

This role offers a competitive base salary – reflecting the full range for this location alongside a comprehensive total rewards package. In addition to base pay, compensation includes eligibility for discretionary annual bonuses, plus extensive benefits designed to support your work‑life balance.
