About the role
We are seeking a highly motivated and creative Designer Engineer to join our dynamic engineering team.
As a Designer Engineer you will, based on your background in either digital, analog, or mixed signal design, play a key role in the design, development, and verification of integrated circuits design.
This is an excellent opportunity for recent graduates with a passion for digital-, analog-, or mixed-integrated circuit design and innovation to launch their careers in a collaborative and supportive environment.
As a Design Engineer you will become a strong contributor to a highly skilled global Touch Controller Silicon development team.
Key Responsibilities
- Design and Verification of IPs and Touch Controller products.
- Contribute to design reviews and design documentation.
- Comply with and improve development methodology and quality flow.
- Work in a team environment and with cross-functional teams.
Required
- Bachelor's or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering or related field.
- 0-3 years of experience.
- Experienced in digital or mixed signal design with a strong understanding.
- Experience in System Verilog for design and verification.
- Experienced with EDA design flow and tools
- Excellent problem-solving skills
- Individual contributor as well as a team player.

HireSetu's note
Two requirements, one long wish list
The non-negotiables are an electrical or computer engineering degree and hands-on System Verilog, used for design and verification, not one or the other. Project work where you wrote RTL and built the testbench around it puts you in the right shape. Verilog from a single course does not, and that gap is worth closing before you apply.
The preferred list is longer than it looks. TCL, Python, Perl, C, C++, Unix, Synopsys and Cadence tools are marked "one or several", so nobody expects the whole set. Name the two you genuinely know and can describe your work in. Zero to three years is a real band here, and the posting openly invites recent graduates.
Digital, analog or mixed signal
The role is written to flex around your background, so where you land depends on what you bring. Touch controllers need both ends: capacitance sensing on the analog side, digital processing behind it. State clearly in your application which one you have coursework or projects in.
Design reviews, documentation and methodology work take up a real share of the week alongside the design and verification itself. That is normal on an IP team, and it means your code and your write-ups get read closely. Two things to confirm when you talk to them: which product area you would be assigned to, and whether the work leans design or verification. Those two paths diverge within a couple of years.
