May 30, 2010 - Lead IC Design Engineer

The lead IC design engineer will have the responsibility of leading the IC design team for a wireless modem. The candidate main responsibility will be to implement the signal processing algorithm into RTL targeting standard cell ASIC  and/or FPGA. The candidate will work closely with the chief architect and the signal processing lead to define the product specifications and translate the high level signal processing algorithm into clearly defined hardware specifications. It is a challenging position which requires a great amount of independent thinking and superb team leading capabilities in order to deliver the product on a very tight schedule. The candidate will also be responsible for the lab verification of the finished product. This position offers a great opportunity for career advancement for the right candidate who would like to apply his knowledge and ambitions to become part of a winning team. This person will also support the lead signal processing engineer R&D efforts to define technologies for future product development.

Must Have Qualifications:
1. A BS or MS  in Electrical Engineering.
2. At least 5+ years experience in the design, specification, integration and testing of complex, preferably wireless, communication IC with a track record of at least two successful tape outs.
3. Be an expert in RTL (Verilog/VHDL) coding and the implications of different design tradeoff on speed, gate count, power consumption, etc.
4. High work ethics and absolute diligence in meeting, if not exceeding, the project requirements. 5. Written and spoken knowledge of English is a must.

Nice to Have Qualifications:
1. Possess excellent knowledge of coding fixed point arithmetic functions (adders, multipliers, etc.) and signal processing functions (FFT, FIR filters, etc.) in RTL.
2. A solid work experience with commercial EDA design tools for both standard ASIC and FPGA.
3. A self-starter and be able to define his/her daily duties with little management oversight.
4. Comfortable leading a team of multiple engineers of different disciplines to deliver on budget and on time.
