Digital Design Engineer

How the Oslo Digital Design Team Works

The Digital Design team in Oslo is part of the Digital Subsystems (DSS) group at Silicon Labs. The DSS group is responsible for the research and development of digital architectures and IP from concept through production. We develop processors (including RISC-V), compute engines for AI/ML, accelerators, peripherals, and system IP. The Oslo team also develops digital designs that interface with analog and mixed-signal modules. This work requires close collaboration with analog design, verification, and software teams.

Our activities include advanced research and development, architecture, RTL design, timing, power, and area optimization, and formal verification within an automated framework. We value innovation, simplicity, quality, and smart development processes within a highly collaborative and learning-driven team.

Why this position matters

The Internet of Things is a fast-growing and innovative market. Silicon Labs develops highly integrated, market-leading mixed-signal SoCs for IoT applications that are used in millions of products worldwide. The Oslo Digital Design team plays an important role in developing the technology behind these products.

As a Digital Design Engineer, you will work with digital verification, analog design, software, and product teams to define, implement, and deliver key digital features for Silicon Labs.

What makes You a great fit

You would be a great fit for this position if you are a motivated and curious recent graduate with a foundation in digital design. You are interested in learning the complete digital IC design flow, from specification and microarchitecture through RTL implementation, verification, synthesis, and integration. You enjoy solving technical problems, collaborating with others, and communicating your ideas clearly. You do not need to know everything on day one; we value strong fundamentals, initiative, and a willingness to learn.

Desired Skills

B.S. or M.S. in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field; recent graduates and students approaching graduation are encouraged to apply

Foundation in digital logic, computer architecture, or embedded systems

Coursework or project experience with an HDL such as Verilog/ SystemVerilog or VHDL, with an interest in developing strong RTL design skills

Understanding of combinational and sequential logic, finite-state machines, clock and reset concepts, and common digital interfaces

Exposure to digital verification through simulation, testbenches, assertions, or formal methods is an advantage

Familiarity with synthesis, timing, and power/area tradeoffs is an advantage

Interest in digital design that interfaces with analog and mixed-signal circuitry; university coursework in analog electronics or circuit design is preferred, but not mandatory

Experience with Linux and scripting languages (e.g., Python, bash, etc.) is an advantage

Personal Profile
