• Participate in design reviews and contribute to methodology improvements
• Document design specifications and implementation results

Required Skills and Experience

• M.S. or Ph.D. degree in Microelectronics, Electrical Engineering, or related fields.
• 5+ years of experience in digital IC / SoC design, with demonstrated ownership of complex IPs or full-chip designs.
• Strong expertise in digital circuit design and RTL development (Verilog/SystemVerilog)
• Solid understanding of digital design flows: synthesis, STA, and physical implementation
• Experience with synthesis using Cadence Genus
• Experience with place‑and‑route (physical layout design) using Cadence Innovus
• Working knowledge of DFT concepts and implementation tradeoffs
• Fluent in Mandarin; strong English written and verbal communication skills for cross-site collaboration
• Ability to collaborate effectively across global, cross‑functional teams

Preferred Skills

• Experience with complex SoC or mixed‑signal designs
• Familiarity with industry‑standard digital interfaces
• Exposure to advanced CMOS process technologies
• Experience mentoring junior engineers or leading technical initiatives

Technical Scope

• Block‑ and subsystem‑level digital ownership with physical‑aware design decisions
• Timing constraint definition and management
• Active involvement in timing closure and late‑stage optimization

Collaboration and Impact

• Work closely with global design teams across multiple time zones
• Contribute to coding standards, design flows, and best practices
• Influence product quality and execution predictability on high‑impact programs
