About onsemi
onsemi is driving innovation in power, sensing, and automotive semiconductor solutions to enable a more sustainable future. Our Treo™ platform underpins next-generation intelligent power systems for automotive and industrial markets, emphasizing safety, reliability, and scalability.
Role Overview
We are seeking a senior Digital Design Member of Technical Staff (MTS) to lead and deliver digital controller IP for power, clock, and error management subsystems within the onsemi Treo™ platform. This role is a hands-on technical leadership position, focused on architecting, designing, integrating, and evolving complex digital IP that tightly interfaces with analog and mixed-signal blocks in automotive-grade SoCs.
The successful candidate will bring deep experience in automotive functional safety, digital-analog co-design, and system-level integration, while also serving as a technical mentor and thought leader within the Cork design organization.
Key Responsibilities
Architect, design, and implement digital system controllers for:
Power management
Clock management
Error detection, reporting, and mitigation subsystems
Develop robust digital IP that controls and interacts closely with analog and mixed-signal blocks.
Own IP delivery from architecture through RTL, verification, integration, and silicon bring-up support.
Drive and support digital-on-top product integration flows, including:
IP integration into SoC environments
Clocking, reset, power domain, and safety integration
Ensure designs meet automotive functional safety requirements (e.g., ISO 26262 concepts such as ASIL, fault coverage, diagnostic mechanisms).
Collaborate cross-functionally with:
Analog design
Verification
Physical design
Systems, safety, and product engineering teams
Define and evolve IP roadmaps aligned with:
Platform strategy
Product requirements
Long-term business objectives
Mentor and technically guide junior and mid-level engineers, promoting best practices in design, documentation, and review culture.
Contribute to continuous improvement of:
Design methodologies
Verification strategies
Automation and productivity tools
Stay technically curious and engaged with emerging AI/ML applications in digital design, including their potential impact on RTL development, verification, and productivity.
Required Qualifications
15+ years of hands-on digital design experience, primarily in ASIC or SoC development.
Proven experience delivering automotive IP with functional safety requirements.
Strong background designing digital controllers for analog blocks (e.g., power regulators, PLLs, sensors, clocking systems).
Deep understanding of system-level digital integration, including:
Power and clock domain management
Reset strategies
Error handling and safety mechanisms
Solid experience with RTL design (SystemVerilog).
Working knowledge of constrained-random verification methodologies, including SystemVerilog and UVM.
Demonstrated ability to work effectively as a senior individual contributor, owning complex technical problems end to end.
Strong communication skills and a demonstrated willingness to mentor junior engineers.
Preferred / Plus Qualifications
Experience with automotive safety standards such as ISO 26262 (concept, system, or IP-level application).
Working knowledge of JIRA for task tracking and JAMA for requirements management.
Exposure to safety diagnostics, fault injection, or safety verification techniques.
Experience contributing to platform-level IP strategies or multi-generation roadmap planning.
Familiarity with low-power design techniques and power-aware verification.
What We Offer
Opportunity to work on industry-leading automotive and power semiconductor platforms.
A senior, high-impact technical role with architectural ownership.
A collaborative engineering culture with strong ties between digital, analog, and system teams.
Competitive compensation and benefits.
Career growth within a global semiconductor leader, while being based in Cork’s vibrant technology ecosystem.
