About the role

Senior Principal Digital IC Design Engineer at onsemi leads the design and benchmarking of embedded MCU/DSP systems for semiconductor products. The role requires deep expertise in digital architecture, Verilog/SystemVerilog, and AMBA bus protocols, as well as experience with design tools and low‑power optimization. The engineer mentors junior team members, drives project activities, and collaborates with product integration and software teams to deliver high‑performance hardware accelerators. Strong documentation, verification, and scripting skills are essential, along with excellent communication in English. This full‑time position in Bangalore offers an opportunity to shape next‑generation silicon solutions in a diverse, inclusive environment.
