Senior Digital IC Design Engineer 📍 Cambridge, UK 💰 Competitive salary + benefits | Sponsorship available Do you enjoy seeing your RTL design come to life on the lab bench? Are you the kind of engineer who’s curious about what happens beyond your block — who wants to own the full design journey, not just write code in a corner? We’re partnered with a well-established mixed-signal semiconductor company that’s looking to hire a Senior Digital IC Design Engineer into its Cambridge team. This isn’t a narrow RTL-only role. Here, digital is the core of the chip, and you’ll have end-to-end involvement — from concept and architecture, through FPGA emulation and lab bring-up, to silicon. 🌟 Why this role stands out • You won’t just hand off RTL and hope for the best., • You’ll work across analog–digital partitioning, fault detection logic, state machines, telemetry, and system control., • You’ll be in the lab, proving your ideas on real silicon — not just simulations., • You’ll develop breadth, not just depth: the digital cores are the nexus of these mixed-signal chips, tying everything together. 🧠 What you’ll be doing • End-to-end RTL design using Verilog / SystemVerilog, • Designing synchronous and asynchronous state machines and control logic, • Working on analog/digital partitioning and functional modelling, • FPGA emulation, lab validation, post-design analysis, and place & route support, • Collaborating closely with analog, systems, and test teams ✅ What we’re looking for • 3–8+ years of digital IC design experience (flexible on seniority), • Strong RTL design skills and a solid grasp of asynchronous and synchronous systems, • Comfortable getting hands-on with lab equipment and oscilloscopes, • Inquisitive mindset, ownership mentality, and interest in system-level design, • Familiarity or interest in DFT, synthesis, and P&R flows 🧪 Why join? • Work on real silicon where your designs are central to the product., • True end-to-end ownership, not just front-end RTL., • Hands-on lab work and exposure to analog/digital interaction., • Sponsorship and relocation support available., • Opportunity to grow into a systems engineering role over time (if you want).
