Job Overview: As a Frontend Principal Engineer specializing in Semiconductor Chip Design, you will lead and coordinate the execution of the front-end stages of integrated circuit development. This role requires a strong technical background in digital design, verification, and project management skills. Additionally, you will oversee product support activities for both the Pre-production and Post-production stages, ensuring the successful initiation, development, and sustainment of semiconductor designs.

Key Responsibilities: Technical Leadership and Architecture

• Design Architecture from scratch for new products and understand the specifications of the derivative products.


• RTL Design and Coding, Code Quality Management: Creating RTL Design and  Coding.. Ensure highest quality by applying suitable coding standards and other techniques.


• Design Verification: Ensuring the correctness and functionality of the design through rigorous verification processes. This includes creating test benches, running simulations, and debugging the design.


• Collaboration: Working closely with other teams, such as physical design, analog IP/IC, software, and system engineering teams, to ensure seamless integration and functionality of the final product.


• Mentorship and Leadership: Leading and mentoring junior engineers, providing guidance on best practices, and ensuring the team adheres to project timelines and quality standards.


• EDA Tools Proficiency: Utilizing EDA tools for design, simulation, and verification tasks.


• Documentation: Maintaining detailed documentation of the design process, including specifications, design decisions, and verification results


• Product Support : Pre and Post Production Stages, Support for RMA
