Direct message the job poster from European Tech Recruit Principal Consultant | Software Engineering, AI & CV/ML, Semiconductors & Electronics European Tech Recruit are working closely with an exciting semicon company, based in the Aachen area, who are looking for a a number of Digital Design Engineers with strong expertise in either frontend RTL design or backend physical implementation to join their team.

Perform logic synthesis and work with physical design teams to ensure a clean handoff and alignment across digital and mixed-signal boundaries. Experience with modern process nodes, especially 22FDX, 16/12nm FinFET, or similar.

In this role you will contribute to the development of high-performance digital and mixed signal ICs in advanced technology nodes such as 22FDX and other FinFET/FD-SOI processes. Responsibilities as Digital Design Engineer: Own RTL design and micro-architecture of digital subsystems (e.g., DSP blocks, control logic, interfaces).

Develop and optimize backend flow, including synthesis, floorplanning, placement and routing (P&R), timing closure, and signoff (STA, LVS, DRC). Support integration of digital blocks with analog/mixed-signal subsystems.

Generate documentation, testbenches, and support post-silicon bring-up and debugging. (Senior level) Lead block-level architecture, mentor junior designers, and guide design methodology decisions. Requirements: Strong proficiency in RTL design using SystemVerilog/VHDL, digital verification, and scripting (Python, Tcl, etc.).

Experience with EDA tools from Cadence, Synopsys or Mentor for logic synthesis, static timing analysis, and backend implementation. Familiarity with low-power design techniques, clock domain crossing (CDC), and hierarchical SoC design. Hands-on experience in physical implementation (floorplanning, P&R, CTS, STA, DRC, LVS).

Good understanding of mixed-signal integration, top-level assembly, and testability concepts (DFT is a plus). Strong problem-solving skills, attention to detail, and ability to work independently.
