Digital Design Engineer

Principal Accountabilities: (the 6-8 main areas of responsibility)

• Design of optimized digital blocks meeting functional, cost and low power constraints and ensure spec compliance.
• Develop TCL scripts and design constraints to perform synthesis, DFT insertion and static timing analysis.
• Support DFT strategy and implementation.
• 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.
• Perform physical silicon device evaluation where necessary.
• Produce high quality documentation for own blocks.
• Develop work-around solutions where necessary to overcome device errata including documentation.
• All other tasks as deemed reasonable by your manager some of which will be set during annual performance review.

Key Performance Measures: (How will success in the job be measured? These should relate to the Principal Accountabilities.)

• Pro-actively taking ownership of responsibilities.
• Deliver work in the agreed timescales as set by program schedule for all assigned tasks.
• Accurate documentation and log all design work.
• Can exercise judgement within defined procedures to determine best action.
