Digital IC Design Engineer

As a Digital IC Design Engineer you will be responsible for managing and executing activities associated with the design, integration, verification, and maintenance of digital IP integrated into ICs used in embedded microcontroller-based system solutions. In this role, you will help bring cutting-edge System-on-Chip solutions to the ADAS market.

You will work closely with the development team to produce an MCU and Security IP strategy driven by the product roadmap, ensuring the development or acquisition of reusable IP blocks.

Support system architecture definition related to security and functional safety, including core logic, memory subsystems, hardware security systems, peripheral interfaces, and power management.

Drive and/or support the implementation of innovative security features for large, complex designs across multiple platforms, with reuse and long-term scalability in mind.

Support the definition of security lifecycle management and assess potential vulnerabilities in ASIC design and the supply chain to prevent breaches of trust.

Scope and benchmark IP offerings from third-party vendors (microcontroller cores and peripherals).

Support development plan creation and associated deliverables (firmware, test plans, test code, validation boards, etc.).

Actively participate in the integration, pre-silicon verification, and validation of microcontroller subsystems.

Support product and test engineering teams to test and productize designs, including Design for Test (DFT) and Design for Manufacturing (DFM).

Provide support and develop firmware reference code for verification and validation stages.

Bridge hardware and software architecture with a focus on reusable toolchains and platform content.

At indie, you must enjoy being part of an organization where everyone makes a difference and contributes to the company's success. Creativity, ownership, and excellence are core to our culture. The ideal candidate will bring the following skills and experience.

We understand nobody is perfect; your new role should challenge you and provide opportunities to grow.

Experience developing system-level architecture and proposing RTL (Verilog) implementations with supporting documentation

Knowledge of security concepts (key storage, secure elements, AES, product lifecycles)

Demonstrated experience with digital circuit simulation tools and front-end environments, particularly Cadence-based

Familiarity with version control systems, release management, continuous integration, and unit testing

Experience with scripting languages (e.g., Python) for design automation

Knowledge of ISO 26262 functional safety framework (FTA, FMEDA, FMEA) and tools such as JAMA and Medini
