Digital Design Engineer

We are looking for a Digital Design Engineer to support our Reality Labs Silicon AI Research team. We build research silicon to demonstrate and integrate advanced IP and AI accelerators into SOC/ASIC solutions to enable in-system testing and prototyping. The goal is to de-risk new IP/accelerators, prove out advanced compute/memory architectures and to harden controls/algorithms for next generation AI and AR solutions.

As a Digital Design Engineer (DDE), you will be a key contributor in planning and executing our front-end digital design efforts at the IP and sub-system levels. Additionally, this role includes hardware and software codesign and supporting post silicon firmware development. From microarchitecture definition and RTL implementation to firmware development and system software, fundamentals in digital design and C will enable you to contribute to all phases of the chip development. Additionally, effective collaboration and communication with Digital Design Engineers, Digital Verification Engineers, Research Scientists and cross functional teams will be key to your success.Digital Design Engineer Responsibilities

• Contribute to microarchitectural feature definition, RTL design, design verification and project planning
• Deliver quality RTL in collaboration with Digital Verification (DV)
• Support back end physical design (PD) through STA and SDCs
• Develop system tests in C for custom hardware
• Help create and maintain design documentation including IP/SoC Micro Architecture document (collaborator/owner), IP/SoC Design plan (collaborator) and SoC/chip bringup/validation plan (collaborator)
• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, relevant technical field, or equivalent practical experience
• 6+ years of experience in digital design, hardware engineering or related experience
• Communication and collaboration skills
• Knowledge of digital SoC integration and ASIC architecture
• Skilled in micro-architecture, RTL coding, design verification and SoC Integration of complex IPs
