Job Description
Job Purpose and Dimensions:
Interpreting requirement specifications to develop digital designs from the block level to top-level system for Renesas’ mixed-signal IC products. RTL design for low power products. Technical leadership of projects/ lead designer for major blocks, ensuring designs are successfully guided into production. Leading innovation of designs and methodologies for power management. Design verification and developing advanced verification methodologies.
Principal Accountabilities:
• Ensuring digital development process is state-of-the-art and achieves budget, schedule and project deliverable goals.
• Design of optimized digital blocks meeting functional, cost and low power constraints and ensure spec compliance.
• Ownership of the digital design process for projects to conform to Renesas’ design process.
• Take technical leadership for complex sub-systems or for complete digital system and drive from specification to production ramp. Review TCL scripts and design constraints to perform synthesis, DFT insertion and static timing analysis.
• Support DFT strategy and implementation and verify test case development.
• Drive digital design verification, verification planning, feature extraction and verification test case development.
• Interface with P & R for digital hand-off and post layout verification.
• Develop test vectors for production test.
• Instigate regular peer review meetings with Digital Design Engineers. Follow and improve procedures and design practises defined by internal and customer-induced guidelines.
• Co-ordinate work-around solutions where necessary to overcome device errata including documentation.
• Support RFQ process where necessary.
• Coach and mentor less experience team members.
• Other specific tasks as deemed reasonable by your manager some of which will be set during annual performance review.
Key Performance Measures:
• Digital system/ block specification derived from customer or system architect requirements complete, system/architecture and design strategy defined to fulfil cost, area and power requirements. Re-use considerations where applied during the whole specification process.
• Complex, innovative digital systems are satisfying customer requirements, and mature for profitable mass production.
• Document and log all design work.
• Quality of mentoring measured through outcomes in individual and team performance.
• Accurate documentation and log all design work.
• Commercial approach to chip design and architecture (reuse vs innovation).
• Uses judgement within defined design guidelines and PDP to determine best action.
• Drives and implements continuous improvement in own and Renesas procedures, methodologies and processes.
• Raises issues in a timely manner and delivers commercial solution.
• Quality of design and simulation in line with expectations in Principal accountabilities.
• Awareness of “TAGIE” and follow principals throughout work.
• Demonstrates good team spirit both in own team and cross functional teams.
• Proactively seeks improvements in technical and non-technical skills and knowledge through self-development, course attendance and on the job training.
• Significant contribution to projects, programs and business initiatives through creativity and ingenuity.
Knowledge, Skills and Experience:
• Typically 8 – 12 years of experience
• Proven ability to resolve complex digital design issues in a creative and effective way
• Fluent in either (System) Verilog or VHDL RTL coding and ASIC design methodology.
• Proven ability to optimize and develop design architecture from chip inception through to compliant netlist
• Proficiency in developing block and top-level timing constraints for STA and P & R handoff
• Expert in low-power digital design techniques
• Capable of self-teaching in emerging technologies (add in all)
• Advanced training, study and experience allowing work on advanced complex technical projects.
• Ability to select most appropriate methods, techniques and evaluation criteria for maximizing results
• Ability to solve complex issues in creative, commercial and effective ways
• Proven ability to lead and co-ordinate projects, from specification to mass production
• Ability to train and mentor less experienced team members
• Results-oriented and able to deliver on-time under a tight schedule
• Ability to work both independently and as part of a team
• Flexible to undertake occasional international travel at short notice
Qualifications
• Degree level qualification in Electronics Engineering or a related discipline typically required.
Key Relationships:
• Senior internal and external colleagues in own area of expertise
• Internal interaction with the PMIC/ASIC design team, Test department and Product Engineering
• External interaction with Renesas customers
• Interaction with business unit and PMO
