Overview









SRI's Center for Advanced Imaging Electrical Engineering Team based in Princeton, NJ, is seeking innovative and highly motivated Principal Digital IC Design Engineer - Verilog RTL to join us in the development of state-of-the-art IC and FPGA designs for numerous commercial, spacecraft, and government applications. The ideal candidate would join a multidisciplinary group dedicated to the development of complex electronics for applications such as low light imaging cameras, space base imaging cameras, LiDAR cameras, including ROIC and Imagers for those applications. Ideally the candidate will be in driving distance to the Princeton NJ office and able to go on-site about once a week.













Responsibilities









Digital logic design using RTL (Verilog preferred or VHDL), verification and documentation of detailed design solutions that involve SOC and ROIC implemetations. This includes high speed digital designs that interface to DDR memory systems as well as high speed digital interfaces (1GHz+) and high speed SERDES interfaces (> 1.5 GHz) as well as complex FSM and control logic for these applications. Design high-speed data paths to implement arithmetic functions and signal processing algorithms as needed, as well as complex control state machines.

• Collaboration with Analog IC designers, HW PCB designers, Software developers, and Mechanical team members to produce high quality designs.
• Design and development of test benches and quality/test requirements for each design.
• Accurately and concisely present design and simulation results to clients, colleagues, designers, and managers.
