Senior SoC Design Engineer

About the Company

Everactive is developing maintenance-free wireless sensing systems for industrial environments. Utilizing revolutionary ultra-low-power digital & RF circuit technologies (from U of M & UVA) and innovative communications protocols, Everactive's products can go anywhere, require no batteries, and enable new data streams and insights that unlock real value in traditional Operating Technology environments.

About the Job (Mid-Level - Senior)

We are looking for an outstanding Senior SoC Design engineer who is passionate about designing, building and debugging ultra-low-power systems-on-chip for our cutting edge batteryless sensors. You will join our digital team that architects and builds our SoCs all the way from system-level concepts to tape-out and post-silicon support. You will face the challenges of pushing the digital portion of our mixed signal designs to run at near and sub-threshold levels to allow the overall system to operate effectively in an energy-harvesting battery-less environment.

You will help the team:

• Collaborate with firmware, board, and analog designers to ensure the SoC as a whole will meet the functional requirements

• Propose and build the SoC architecture, and define requirements for sub-blocks

• Understand the different use cases for the system, and develop code/test cases to exercise and verify those use cases

• Translate high level requirements into design decisions to meet the project's goals
• Write and debug low-power Verilog/SystemVerilog to implement different designs

• Review timing closure reports and power analysis reports, and identify areas to improve power/performance at the all levels (architecture, RTL, synthesis...)

• Review and support firmware development for applications running on the SoC

You will bring:

• Experience with system-level architecture and block definition

• Experience in writing and debugging Verilog/SystemVerilog

• Experience in testing (bench validation) and debugging silicon bugs

• Experience writing timing constraints, static timing closure

• Experience with clock domain crossing design and verification

• Experience with gate level simulations

• Excellent communication and collaboration skills

• Excellent documentation skills

Experience with the following is a plus:

• Low power synthesis (UPF/CPF, CLP), place and route tools

• FPGA synthesis and implementation

• UVM verification

• Good understanding of C/C+ for embedded devices

• Automation skills using Python (or Perl) Language

The ideal candidate's technical background will include a Bachelor's degree or greater in Electrical Engineering at least 10 years of proven experience in developing, testing and debugging ASICs

About our Values

Successful Everactive employees routinely exhibit our four core values:

• Pioneering ideas: To revolutionize computing, we look for the best ideas without being constrained by existing approaches. This clean slate, first principles approach expands our creative scope and helps us lead development of the next generation IIoT with field-changing technology.
• Rigorous, honest thinking: We approach all of our endeavors with intellectual honesty and rigor. This honesty leads us to careful self-evaluation - identifying and admitting what we do not know – and to making hard decisions when we believe they are right.
• Live well, work well: We believe there are aspects of life that are more important than work, and that leading a fulfilling life outside of one's career makes it easier to produce excellent results within it. We also believe that having a fulfilling career, and doing work that you are passionate about, makes life more rewarding
• One Team: We are a team of diverse individuals aligned by a common vision of the future of computing. We are strongest when we respect and embrace our differences. This requires that we share our thoughts, ask questions, and candidly provide feedback and encouragement to others. We are passionately committed to inclusion across race, gender, age, beliefs, identity, orientation, and life experiences that make us unique. Our diversity drives our greatest achievements.
