Senior Digital Design / Architect (IP Security)

My client is a global leader in data & security, development and licensor of Semiconductor IP.

As the Principal engineer of Digital Design & Architecture for IP Security, you will be responsible for the design, development & architecture of embedded hardware security IP for the semiconductor industry, on a global scale.

You will be working closely with other ASIC engineers and architects, as well as security, cryptography, embedded hardware & software, firmware, and verification engineers to architect, design, implement, and integrate the latest solutions for digital hardware in the security market, including crypto and Post-Quantum cores.

Experience/Skills:

• MS/PhD degree in electrical or computer engineering required, PhD preferred
• 5-10 years of professional experience of working in secure hardware / IC design, or PhD / research related study
• Design, implementation & micro-architecture of efficient cryptographic algorithms that implement side channel analysis countermeasures
• Knowledge of HW security architectures and IPs (secure MCU cores, cryptographic co-processors, secure memories, secure elements, smart cards)
• Familiarity with front-end ASIC design flows, including design, simulation, assertions, formal verification, synthesis, timing analysis, logical equivalence checking, and linting/rule checking. Experience with back-end flows, especially place-and-route, is beneficial.
• Proven track record of on-time delivery of silicon-proven designs.
• Demonstrated proficiency in Verilog and digital design.

• Secure hardware design (ASIC / FPGA)
