Staff Engineer - Digital ASIC and Signal Processing Chip Architect/Systems Engineer

About the Role

We are seeking an experienced and technically exceptional Staff Engineer for a role as Digital ASIC Chip Architect and Signal Processing System Engineer to join a high-performing team focused on the architecture and development of cutting-edge, mixed-signal and software-defined radio (SDR) signal chains. This role is ideal for a hands-on technical contributor with a deep background in digital signal processing and digital design, and a passion for shaping definition, requirements and solutions in a collaborative team.  DSP and Digital System Architects work cross-functionally across development teams to specify and guide digital, firmware, software and processor subsystem requirements and architecture.  A successful candidate will have a demonstrated ability to develop system specifications from application requirements and to innovate from architecture to circuit implementation.

Key Responsibilities

• Architectural Leadership: Drive the definition and architecture of complex mixed-signal ICs and SDR chips, with a focus on digital accelerators and subsystems.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work closely with analog, RF, firmware, and software teams to ensure cohesive SoC and system-level design.
• Requirements Management: Capture and maintain stakeholder requirements and ensure the development teams remained aligned throughout the program.
• Project Execution: Support the successful execution of IC development programs from concept through tape-out and validation. 
• Mentorship and Culture: Foster a culture of technical excellence and continuous learning.  Support the development of team members through mentoring and engagement.
• Innovation and Strategy: Stay ahead of industry trends and emerging technologies to guide architectural decisions and maintain competitive advantage.
• External Engagement: Work with Customers, Ecosystem Partners, and ADI stakeholders to define future SDR technologies.

Required Qualifications

• 10+ years of experience, including 5 years of digital IC design.
• Expertise in digital signal processing, RTL design, and digital architecture.
• Strong knowledge of:
  • Firmware and embedded software
  • Radio architecture and signal chains
  • Microprocessor subsystems and digital accelerators
  • DSP cores and custom compute architecture
  • Hardware/Software Co-Design and Digital Modelling

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with system-level modeling and simulation (e.g., MATLAB, SystemVerilog, Python).
• Signal Processing for Radio Signal Chains
• Working understanding of signal processing for High-speed ADCs/DACs
• SerDes and high-speed interfaces
• Demonstrated ability of requirements capture and documentation.
• Familiarity with SoC integration and verification methodologies.
• Exposure to productization and manufacturing ICs in high-volume.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills.
