IC design engineer (dig.) Job Description

The Challenge
As a full time IC design engineer you will work in challenging multi-disciplinary environment in multi-site IC design projects. The IC designs consist of digital- and mixed-signal circuits and you will have the availability of state-of-the-art IC design tools. You will optimize ASIC designs and specifications for High Energy Physics experiments or in R&D applications in close collaboration with experimental physicists and physics PhD students.
 
Key responsibilities for the position:

• Active participation in digital IC design projects & teams, that involves the full design-flow:
• from specification, design, layout and verification, to tape-out and IC test.
• IC Design tool (CAD) management for IC team (~3-6 members): Cadence, Synopsys, MG Calibre, PDK’s, design repositories, etc.

IC design engineer (dig.) Job Requirements

Requirements:

• Creative in translating design specifications into full custom IC design that matches the requirements of experimental physics projects (e.g. related to particle detectors @ CERN).
• Experience or ascertainable interest in digital design flow, design and verification methodologies (TLM, UVM, syst. Verilog, etc.) with top level integration and simulation is a preference.
• Good communication skills; able to work in (international) teams.
• Skills & ambitions in publishing results in project meetings, workshops and conferences.
• Language: fluent English & Dutch (or willing to learn).
