Meet the Team

The CAD-IP team at Silicon Labs leads the selection, procurement and qualification of 3rd party IP, also known as vendor IP or external IP, and sets up an IP workflow for managing the IPs, that are incorporated into SoC designs.

• The candidate will be part of a CAD organization working in the intelligent embedded microcontroller and Wi-Fi projects

• The candidate will work as part of 3rd party IP team and will be responsible to acquire, qualify, release, and support all 3rd party physical and soft Intellectual Property (IP) used at Silicon Labs

Responsibilities

• Work closely with the SoC implementation, design and verification teams to understand requirements and set of challenges, and to develop solution to improve work productivity

• Obtain requirements (e.g. characteristics of foundation IP, soft design RTL IP, etc required for a specific project) from internal teams and identify appropriate IP suppliers

• Engage in evaluation and benchmarking of IPs provided by various suppliers

• Plan, analyze, implement and maintain scalable software solutions to manage and verify IP collaterals from external providers

• Collaborate with EDA and IP vendors to explore IP solutions, gather IP requirements, and drive IP improvements to ensure bug-free IP deliverable

• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to ensure successful product development through design cycle
