About SiTime

SiTime Corporation is the precision timing company. Our semiconductor MEMS programmable solutions offer a rich feature set that enables customers to differentiate their products with higher performance, smaller size, lower power and better reliability. With more than 3 billion devices shipped, SiTime is changing the timing industry. For more information, visit www.sitime.com.

 

Job Summary

We at SiTime take pride in being the only company in the market that offers MEMS-based timing solutions. Our MEMS dies are uniquely complemented by our CMOS dies in the same package. We use state of the art analog and digital circuits to achieve very aggressive design specs for our timing solutions. Our precision timing products keep pushing the boundaries of the industry across all dimensions and are by far superior to our competition. This has enabled us to continuously gain market share.

This has been achieved by pushing the innovation boundaries in the areas of MEMS and CMOS. Consisting of analog and digital blocks, our CMOS dies present unique technical challenges. The digital portion of our chips has been growing in the past few years and is expected to grow more rapidly in the upcoming years as our functionality and features scale up. To address our unique technical challenges, we are looking for a strong Senior Logic Design Engineer with a solid background in key digital design and implementation areas.

 

Responsibilities:

As a Senior Logic Design Engineer, you will be responsible for:

Developing micro-architecture specification of the logic circuit from reading and comprehending the Product Requirement Document (PRD)Developing the Register Transfer Level (RTL) design from the micro-architecture specification using Verilog or SystemVerilog as the HDLDeveloping standalone testbenches to verify the RTL behaviorWriting and verifying SystemVerilog Assertions (SVA) for a designWriting timing constraints and clock definition for synthesis and place and route toolsRunning industry-standard synthesis tools (e.g., Genus or Design Compiler) and being able to fix the timing problems if they ariseUnderstanding various design tradeoffs including timing/area/power and knowing how to improve themReading and understanding the Static Timing Analysis (STA) reports from an industry-standard STA tool (e.g., Prime Time)Cross functional interactions and communication with various teams within SiTime including analog, verification, backend, system and test engineering teamsPost-Si bring-up, validation and debugging
