Senior Engineer II – Design

Overview

Join to apply for the Senior Engineer II – Design role at Microchip Technology Inc.

Join Microchip’s AES Automation Team as a hands-on Senior Engineer, focused on early-stage digital design implementation ("shift-left") activities. You will lead process innovation and partner with design and physical implementation teams to help achieve better power, performance, and area (PPA) and accelerate time-to-market (TTM). In this role, you’ll take ownership of key backend design activities at the front end of the development cycle—helping to identify and resolve issues sooner, and enabling designers to focus on core design work.

Key Responsibilities

• Take ownership of early-stage backend design tasks for assigned blocks, including DFT RTL hookup, RTL QA (structural and design rule checks), SDC (timing constraints) creation and review, power estimation, and signoff checklist management.
• Perform trial synthesis to identify and address design issues early.
• Review static timing analysis (STA) results, warnings, and complete checklists on behalf of the design team, providing technical guidance and recommendations.
• Collaborate with RTL designers, physical design, and DFT teams to ensure early detection and resolution of issues related to synthesis, constraints, and timing.
• Mentor and train team members on early-stage implementation flows, tools, and best practices.
• Document lessons learned, process improvements, and recommendations for future projects.
• Proactively identify opportunities to improve efficiency, parallelize work, and offload designers.
• Communicate clearly and effectively with global teams (including regular online meetings and written updates).
