Description

Conexant's innovative semiconductor solutions are driving broadband communications and digital home networks worldwide. The company has leveraged its expertise and leadership position in modem technologies to enable more Internet connections than all of its competitors combined, and continues to develop highly integrated silicon solutions for broadband data and media processing networks.

 

Position Description:

The Conexant Systems Set-top box VLSI and Systems engineering team develops complex multimedia SoC ASICs and subsystems for set-top box applications in the satellite, cable, terrestrial, and IP markets. The candidate will be member of a VLSI design engineering and verification team. The responsibilities will involve design, implementation and verification of the latest video and audio algorithms and working with system and chip architects to design SoCs. The designer will create complex designs using Verilog. The job will involve construction of a bit or cycle exact C simulation of the selected architecture. It will support IC designers with detailed design documents, HW simulation, and functional verification models. Generate customer IC specification documentation. Plan and coordinate integration and verification of subsystems. The candidate should be able to both implement the designs, and to lead others in the implementation of the designs



Qualifications:

The ideal candidate will have a minimum MS in Electrical or Computer Engineering. They will have a good understanding of the IC development processes. They should have good experience in C modeling of VLSI hardware systems. In depth knowledge backed by on-the-job IC experience (4+ years) is required in some or all of the following areas:

- Video and audio compression, including MPEG-2 and MPEG-4 Advanced Video Coding (H.264, MPEG-4 Part 10) and Audio DSP implementation
- Image and digital signal processing
- Graphics and Video displays
- Security (AES, DES, etc)
- Memory controller and system bandwidth analysis
- Hardware/software SoC co-design
- Integration of IP
- High performance processor architectures or embedded RISC CPU based system architecture
- C, and/or System-C programming languages
- The entire ASIC design flow including architecture, logic entry, simulation, synthesis, and timing closure as well as some scripting (shell scripts, TCL, perl, etc)
