About the role

  • Actual base pay could vary based on factors including but not limited to experience, geographic location where work will be performed and applicant's skill set.
  • Silicon Labs is an equal opportunity employer and values the diversity of our employees.

Responsibilities

  • Develop complex SOC/chip Architectures with multiple processors, digital and mixed signal subsystems, multiple power, and clock domains with a goal towards optimizing power for specific customer scenarios.
  • Define and implement SoC-level low-power architecture, including power domains, retention, isolation, level shifters, and power sequencing.
  • Develop and integrate UPF/CPF-based power intent across subsystem and SoC hierarchies.
  • Collaborate with architects to define power management strategies that meet performance, power, and area targets.
  • Design and integrate clocking infrastructure, including clock generation, clock distribution, clock gating, clock muxing, reset architectures, and clock monitoring mechanisms.
  • Drive RTL design and integration of power management controllers, clock controllers, reset controllers, and related infrastructure IPs.
  • Prepare and hold architecture, design, and verification reviews with technical staff throughout project lifecycle
  • Lead small teams of design engineers to architect, design and verify digital subsystems.
  • Drive subsystem and SoC integration activities, ensuring seamless connectivity between processors, memories, peripherals, accelerators, and third-party IPs.
  • Drive RTL development and integration of infrastructure IPs, including clock controllers, reset controllers, power management controllers, DMA engines, and bus fabric components.

Requirements

  • Extensive experience with low-power design methodologies, including UPF, power gating, retention, isolation, level shifting, and power-aware verification.
  • Strong experience with industry-standard on-chip bus protocols such as AXI, AHB, APB, and related interconnect architectures.
  • Experience integrating complex subsystems, processor clusters, memory subsystems, and third-party IPs into large SoCs.
  • Knowledge of embedded processor systems and C coding
  • Experience with logic simulators for both RTL and gate-level simulation, design/waveform browsers, and power analysis tools
  • Experience with logic synthesis and timing constraints
  • Experience with scripting and automation.
  • Knowledge of Python, Perl, and Tcl
  • Experience with revision control and configuration management systems (such as Perforce, Git, Methodics)
  • Demonstrated ability to generate high output in a self-driven manner

Compensation

  • Highly competitive salary
  • 3 paid volunteer days per year
  • The annualized base pay range for this role is expected to be between $143,150 - $265,850 USD.
