Job Description:

Microchip recherche actuellement un Ingénieur Conception pour rejoindre notre unité d'affaires Communications à Montréal, QC, Canada.

L'unité d'affaires Communications de Microchip (CBU) est un fournisseur de premier plan de solutions de connectivité et de réseaux optiques 100 Gbps+ pour les télécommunications et les centres de données hyperscale. Nos dispositifs permettent des applications cloud à large bande passante telles que les services de streaming, les plateformes de médias sociaux et la visioconférence.

L'équipe de développement de produits CBU intervient tout au long du cycle de R&D des dispositifs, depuis la conception et la mise en œuvre jusqu'à la réalisation. Une fois le prototype disponible, nous soutenons le développement logiciel embarqué et les tests de validation en laboratoire jusqu'à la mise en production à grande échelle. Nous sommes une équipe expérimentée travaillant avec les outils et méthodologies de développement de semi-conducteurs les plus récents, utilisant des technologies de pointe pour développer des dispositifs réseau de dernière génération.

En tant qu'Ingénieur Conception au sein de l'équipe de développement de produits CBU, vous serez responsable de la conception et de la mise en œuvre de circuits intégrés numériques au niveau bloc ou au niveau supérieur d'un dispositif. Vous collaborerez avec les architectes de puces, les responsables de sous-systèmes et les membres de l'équipe de vérification pour livrer des conceptions de plus en plus complexes dans un environnement convivial, solidaire et professionnel.

Le rôle de l'Ingénieur Conception inclut :

• Concevoir des circuits numériques selon les normes industrielles et les exigences du marché

• Implémenter les conceptions en code RTL System Verilog en appliquant des principes de conception à faible consommation

• Synthétiser les conceptions en portes logiques en tirant parti des outils et des flux de pointe de l'industrie

• Intégrer des circuits numériques et analogiques avec des techniques de conception pour le test (DFT)

• Vérifier les spécifications temporelles physiques à l'aide de l'analyse statique du timing (STA)
De temps à autre, nous offrons aux Ingénieurs Conception l'opportunité d'effectuer des tests de prototypes en environnement de laboratoire. Cette expérience améliore les compétences en conception de l'individu et apporte une vision du fonctionnement au niveau système.

Microchip is currently looking for a Design Engineer to join our Communications Business Unit in Montreal, QC, Canada.

Microchip's Communications Business Unit (CBU) is a premier supplier for 100Gbps+ Optical Networking & Connectivity Solutions for Telecom & Hyperscale Data Center Networks. Our devices enable high-bandwidth, cloud-based applications such as streaming services, social media platforms and video conferencing.

The CBU Product Development team is engaged through the full device R&D cycle from concept, design and implementation stages. Once a prototype is available, we support embedded software development and system validation lab testing through to mass-market production release. We are an experienced chip team working with the latest semiconductor development tools and methodologies in advanced process technologies to develop state-of-the-art network devices. 

As a Design Engineer in the CBU Product Development team you will be responsible for design and implementation of digital integrated circuits at the block level or top level of a device. You will collaborate with chip architects, subsystem leads and verification team members to deliver increasingly complex designs in a friendly, supportive and professional environment.

The role of the Design Engineer includes:

• Design digital circuits based on industry standards and market requirements

• Implement designs in System Verilog RTL code utilizing low-power design principles

• Synthesize designs into logic gates taking advantage of industry-leading tools and flows

• Integrate digital and analog circuits with Design-for-Test (DFT) techniques

• Verify physical timing specifications through Static Timing Analysis (STA)

From time to time we offer the opportunity for Design Engineers to perform prototype testing in a lab environment. This experience enhances the individual's design abilities and gives insight into system-level operation.

Requirements/Qualifications:

• Baccalauréat ou maîtrise en génie électrique ou en génie informatique
  
  • 1 à 2 stages coopératifs pertinents (un atout)
  
  • Excellentes compétences analytiques et en débogage, ainsi que la capacité à résoudre les problèmes de manière proactive
