Join Our Team as a Digital Design Engineer
Kandou is seeking a passionate and accomplished professional to become a part of our innovative team. As a leader in the semiconductor industry, we specialize in high-speed and energy-efficient chip-to-chip link solutions that are essential to the evolution of electronics. We are dedicated to not only meeting the needs of today's customers but also anticipating the demands of tomorrow.
If you thrive in a high-tech scale-up environment and are driven by innovation and pushing boundaries, we have a fantastic opportunity for you as a Digital Design Engineer. This position is based in either the UK (Reading/Northampton), Germany, Denmark, or Lausanne, Switzerland.
Key Responsibilities
- Define block- and top-level specifications for high-speed digital circuits that meet performance targets based on system-level requirements.
- Review and challenge architectural specifications to ensure robustness and efficiency.
- Specify analog/digital interfaces in close collaboration with analog and mixed-signal design teams.
- Design, implement, and test RTL code.
- Collaborate closely with verification and physical implementation engineers to meet functionality, timing, area, and power goals.
- Support post-silicon activities, including lab bring-up, debugging, characterization, and productization.
- Manage workload and schedules while providing regular updates to internal management and external customers.
Skills
- Strong analytical ability to translate system-level requirements into design specifications.
- Hands-on design experience in PHY design for high-speed interfaces (e.g., USB4, PCIe) is preferred.
- Proficient RTL coding skills (SystemVerilog preferred).
- Advanced knowledge of high-speed and low-power design techniques.
- Familiarity with signal processing techniques is a plus.
- Proficiency in scripting and tool automation (Python, Tcl, etc.).
- Solid understanding of clock domain crossing (CDC) issues and mitigation techniques.
- Experience analyzing synthesis and static timing analysis (STA) results.
- Knowledge of verification methodologies, particularly UVM, is an advantage.
- Self-motivated with a strong sense of ownership and accountability.
- Excellent communication and teamwork skills.
Experience
- MSc in Electrical or Electronics Engineering (or equivalent/higher degree).
- 5+ years of experience in the semiconductor industry.
- Strong technical background in the design of high-speed digital circuits using advanced CMOS technologies.
- Exposure to analog design techniques is a plus.
- Familiarity with Cadence design tools is an advantage.
