Your role

Key responsibilities in your new role

The position can be filled in Munich or Cork.

• Lead the PORT IP concept development, defining functional specifications, architectural constraints, design guidelines, and the roadmap across product families, including PPA trade-offs and feasibility studies

• Own the microcontroller and PORT IP architecture, ensuring scalability, power efficiency, and performance, while driving functional safety compliance (ISO 26262 up to ASIL-D) through safety mechanisms, safe I/O states, FMEDA contributions, and diagnostic coverage targets

• Drive the digital design, verification, and low-power strategy, implementing methodologies for robustness, early error detection, and high verification coverage, while defining CDC/RDC strategies, power domains, isolation, retention, and UPF/CPF concepts

• Own the safe and robust I/O architecture, including pin multiplexing, alternate-function architecture, pad control, drive strength, and slew-rate configuration, and coordinate digital-analog integration with analog/pad IP and interconnect teams

• Automate design and engineering processes with Python, developing solutions for design flows, simulation, data analysis, reporting, and automated generation of register maps, documentation, and verification models from a single source (e.g., IP-XACT/SystemRDL)

• Manage engineering workflows and drive cross-functional collaboration, using Jira for backlog management, milestone tracking, and risk communication, while working closely with RTL design, verification, firmware, and system engineering teams

• Act as a technical expert and mentor, establishing best practices for concept engineering and scripting while influencing technical direction and engineering excellence across teams

Your profile

Qualifications and skills to help you succeed

• A degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or related technical field

• At least 3–5 years in digital IC design, concept engineering, or related semiconductor roles

  • Strong understanding of Digital Design and Verification (e.g., UVM, formal verification); proficiency in SystemVerilog (and VHDL); familiarity with industry EDA flows (e.g., Synopsys, Cadence, Siemens) and formal verification tools

• Deep knowledge of Microcontroller Architecture and IP integration; understanding of I/O/pad‑cell design (drive strength, slew rate, level shifting, pull configuration) and pin multiplexing; experience with PORT IP or similar high‑volume digital IP platforms is highly advantageous

• Proficient in Python scripting for automation tool development and data processing; hands‑on with Jira for project management and agile workflows; strong analytical problem‑solving, excellent communication, and proactive mindset

• Working knowledge of functional safety (ISO 26262) and safety‑relevant IP design including safety mechanisms and FMEDA concepts; Nice‑to‑have: DFT (boundary scan JTAG/IEEE 1149.1), register‑automation flows (IP‑XACT/SystemRDL), Git‑based CI/CD, low‑power intent (UPF/CPF), CDC/RDC methodology

• Fluent in English language skills, German is a plus
