This is a great opportunity to join a state-of-the-art neuromorphic sensor company to lead a paradigm shift in computer vision across many industries. The day-to-day working environment is a small but impacting Digital Front End IC team (~7-10 people). You will be in contact with plenty of other engineering fields (Analog IC team, Systems Team, Software Algorithm team, etc..) and will also participate in silicon bring-up in laboratory when back from foundry.

Job details Primary:

• Prepare detailed written specifications, and help defining test protocols and test reports.
• Evaluate development time to match milestones
• Work in close collaboration with modelling, and R&D teams to meet functional requirements and performance goals.
• Create the micro-architecture specifications of image signal processing blocks.
• Design and debug RTL logic with particular attention to area and power efficiency.
• Work in close collaboration with the verification engineer to define verification metrics and scenarios. (Extreme programming method)
• Ensure design quality, PPA, and functionality.
• Ensure support during: Chip Bring-Up, chip characterization, chip validation, test development phases, post-sales technical issues.
• Work innovatively and creatively within the group with a particular focus on protecting innovation and IP through the patent process.
• Participate in developing methodologies and flow efficiencies.
• Keep up to date with new standards and general market information in the industry.

Secondary:

• Follow up backend implementation, write SDC, UPF constraints file, debug and fix timing problems.
• Support Analog/Pixel team in setting up mixed-mode simulations.
• Participate in Technology / Supplier / Tool Selection.

Travel Requirements

• up to 10% of the working time
