Senior staff digital design engineer

About Us: We are a fast-growing Indian startup focused on developing innovative sensor-based systems for cutting-edge applications. We are very strong on materials, electrochemistry, physics, pure sciences and have deep engagement and understanding of our customer’s requirements. Competing against the other global behemoths, we have carved a niche for our Hydrogen Sensor product line in the international market with our patented technologies. Our mission is to push the boundaries of our technologies by creating high-performance Analog Front-End (AFE) data acquisition systems for sensors and impedance measurement solutions. While we are building a strong team to progress our cutting edge sensing technologies on a MEMS platform (close engagement with premier research institutions in India), we are now focussing on developing in-house electronics chip building capabilities. We’re looking for a passionate and self-driven Digital Engineer to join our dynamic team and take ownership of critical digital design challenges. The Company has recently secured a healthy Seed Round of funding and has also been approved for the Design Linked Incentive scheme of Meit Y, which shall fuel our next stage of growth.  Role Overview: As the Lead Digital Design Engineer, you will take ownership of the digital design and integration of ARM/RISC-V-based mixed-signal So Cs for sensor interfacing and data acquisition systems. You will work independently in a fast-paced startup environment, collaborating with analog, firmware, and system teams to deliver robust, high-performance solutions. As part of our nimble startup team, you'll have the autonomy to take full ownership of digital design tasks, shaping the end-to-end development process with creativity and innovation. Key Responsibilities:  Lead the architecture, design, and implementation of digital subsystems for ARM/RISC-V-based mixed-signal So Cs, focusing on sensor data processing. Translate product-level specs into a digital micro-architecture and integration plan. Analyse and select third-party or in-house digital IP (CPU, security, peripherals) for fitness in power, performance, area, and licensing. Develop and integrate RTL code (Verilog/System Verilog) for digital blocks, including controllers, interfaces, and signal processing modules. Ensure seamless So C integration, collaborating with analog designers and firmware teams to deliver cohesive mixed-signal solutions. Optimize designs for low power using UPF/CPF flows, aligning with sensor system requirements.   What We’re Looking For:  B. Tech/M. Tech/Ph. D. in EE/ECE with 8+ years front-end digital IC experience, including at least one mixed-signal So C from spec through production where you owned top-level RTL/integration. Deep knowledge of ARM/RISC-V architectures, AMBA protocols (AXI/AHB/APB), peripheral interfaces (I2 C, SPI, UART, CAN/LIN), debug/trace and power-management controllers Expertise in RTL design using Verilog/System Verilog for mixed-signal So Cs. Lint , CDC using Spyglass or equivalent tool Proficiency in digital design tools (e.g., Synopsys Design Compiler, Cadence Innovus) for synthesis, timing, and integration. Strong experience with low-power design techniques, including UPF/CPF flows Familiarity with mixed-signal design challenges, including digital-analog co-simulation   Nice to Have : Knowledge of digital signal processing (DSP) for sensor data applications.  Familiarity with embedded software development for ARM/RISC-V processors.  Exposure to security and functional safety aspects for safety critical applications in So Cs.  Why Join Us?   Work on challenging, high-impact projects with the freedom to experiment and innovate. Your expertise will directly shape a flagship product and the digital design culture around it. Be a key player in an innovative Indian startup shaping the future of sensor technology.  Competitive compensation, ESOP , and a vibrant work culture. How to Apply If you’re excited to lead digital design for ARM/RISC-V-based mixed-signal So Cs and thrive in a startup environment to solve complex problems that ship to real customers, we’d love to meet you.
