As a Principal Digital Design Engineer, you will lead the architecture and implementation of complex digital subsystems within ADI's mixed-signal and power management ICs. You will drive the adoption of AI/ML techniques to transform design automation, optimization, and productivity across the digital design flow. Your work will span multiple business units and directly shape how ADI integrates advanced digital functionality into next-generation products.

Key Responsibilities

• Drive adoption of AI/ML methodologies to optimize synthesis, timing closure, power estimation, and design space exploration
• Define and lead digital architecture for complex SoCs and mixed-signal ICs, including control logic, digital interfaces, and on-chip processing
• Lead RTL design, coding, and optimization in Verilog/SystemVerilog for performance, area, and power targets
• Own the synthesis-to-signoff flow including synthesis with timing and placement constraints (Genus), STA and power analysis (Tempus), and logical equivalence checking (Conformal)
• Lead architecture and design reviews, assessing trade-offs across timing, area, power, and testability
• Influence design flows, IP reuse strategies, and product roadmaps across multiple projects
• Collaborate with analog design teams to define and integrate digital-analog interfaces and control architectures

Required Skills and Experience

• MSEE or MSCE with 10+ years of digital IC design experience, or PhD with 8+ years (BSEE/BSCE with equivalent depth considered)
• Expert-level RTL design in Verilog/SystemVerilog with proven track record of complex digital subsystem delivery
• Track record of leading digital designs from architecture through tape-out, silicon validation, and production release
• Strong scripting skills (Python, Tcl, shell) with experience applying AI/ML techniques to enhance productivity
• Deep knowledge of synthesis, static timing analysis, DFT (scan, ATPG, BIST), and clock domain crossing methodologies
• Proficiency with Cadence digital design tools: Genus, Innovus, Tempus, Conformal
• Excellent presentation, technical writing, and communication skills

Preferred Qualifications

• Working knowledge of place-and-route (Innovus), floorplanning, and physical-aware design techniques
• Experience with low-power design techniques including multi-voltage domains, power gating, and UPF
• Familiarity with digital interfaces (I2C, SPI, UART) and mixed-signal SoC integration
• Strong analytical and problem-solving abilities
• Ability to work effectively in a collaborative team environment

Technical Scope

• Development and deployment of AI/ML-driven workflows that measurably improve design quality, turnaround time, or coverage
• Full digital subsystem architecture ownership from specification through silicon bring-up and production validation
• Clock domain crossing analysis, lint, and formal verification for multi-clock digital architectures
• DFT strategy and implementation including scan insertion, ATPG pattern generation, and fault coverage closure

Collaboration and Impact

• Partner with analog design, verification, and applications teams to define digital control architectures that meet system-level requirements
• Champion AI/ML-driven improvements to digital design workflows, sharing results and best practices across teams
• Contribute to organizational knowledge through design reviews and cross-team technical forums
