Your RoleThis engineer will be responsible for designing and developing digital circuits of liquid crystal on silicon (LCo S) backplanes. You will encompass the entire digital design flow, including specification generation, architecture development, RTL description using System Verilog, verification via developed test benches, logic synthesis, executing place & route tools, and static timing analysis.
Our Team
In New Taipei City, Taiwan, we serve global clients in telecom and datacom industries in providing innovative optical modules to support our customer's next generation networks.
This person will work with multi-discipline teams, including sales and marketing, product line managers, electrical, mechanical, and optical R&D teams, and work with colleagues of different geographic sites.
What You Will Do

• Lead the design of interfaces for liquid crystal phase modulator pixel arrays, such as column drivers, row drivers, and pixel bias drivers, as well as supporting clock and reset analog circuits.
• Define specifications with the module architecture/system engineers.
• Review, assess, provide feedback, and develop digital micro-architectures.
• Generate RTL to comply with specifications, both manually and through automated generation.
• Create a Cadence schematic database of digital blocks using Virtuoso.
• Perform System Verilog verification simulations for the design by creating test benches at the block level.
• Execute logic synthesis and generate the physical layout.
• Create DFT hooks and generate test patterns.
• Execute remaining back-end tools, including place & route, static timing analysis, and ATPG.

Who You Are (Basic Qualifications)

• BS or MS with 2+ year experience.
• Proficiency in System Verilog/Verilog language and simulation.
• Proficiency in scripting languages such as Python, TCL, UNIX/LINUX shell, PERL, C/C++.
• Experience with synthesis and static timing analysis.
• Experience with place & route using Cadence Virtuoso, and verifying database vs schematics.
• Knowledge of System Verilog assertions and functional coverage.
• Experience with formal verification.
• Familiarity with scan testing and participation in design reviews.
• Excellent analytical, problem-solving, and debugging skills.
• Good communication and teamwork skills, with the ability to work effectively in cross-functional teams.

What Will Put You Ahead

• Knowledge of analog mixed-signal design.
• Knowledge of Ser Des circuits/IP.
• Knowledge of LCOS or LCD IC architecture, column driver, MIPI interface.
• Good understanding mixed-signal design and EDA tool configuration/setup.
• Knowledge of liquid crystal phase modulators.
