Staff Digital Design Engineer
role at
Innatera .
Innatera is a rapidly growing Dutch semiconductor company that develops ultra‑efficient neuromorphic processors for AI at the edge. These microprocessors mimic the brain’s mechanisms for processing fast data streams from sensors, enabling complex, turn‑key sensor‑analytics functionality with 10,000× higher performance per watt than competing solutions. Innatera’s technology serves as a critical enabler for next‑generation use cases in the IoT, wearable, embedded, and automotive domains.
With over €37 m in funding raised, we’re scaling fast toward bringing our neuromorphic technology to billions of sensors by 2030.
Our mission is to make the world smarter, safer, and greener. We are committed to driving innovation, delivering exceptional results, and fostering an environment where our teams can thrive.
Responsibilities
Architect, design, and implement digital IP blocks and subsystems for our neuromorphic SoCs.
Translate high‑level product and algorithmic requirements into RTL‑level specifications and microarchitectures.
Own all front‑end design activities, including RTL coding (SystemVerilog/Verilog), synthesis, static timing analysis, simulation, and design documentation.
Collaborate closely with verification and backend engineers to align functionality, constraints, and design intent.
Define and optimise PPA (power, performance, area) goals across IPs and subsystems.
Develop design flows and automation scripts (Python/shell scripting) to improve productivity and consistency.
Apply low‑power design techniques and contribute to overall SoC‑level integration.
Write and maintain documentation, including IP specifications, design intent, and integration guides.
Mentor junior engineers, contribute to code reviews, and foster a culture of technical excellence and collaboration.
What you’ll need to succeed
6+ years of hands‑on ASIC digital design experience, owning complex IPs through the full lifecycle.
Strong expertise in front‑end digital design, including Verilog/SystemVerilog RTL development and debugging.
Solid understanding of SoC architecture, bus interfaces, and IP integration flows.
Experience performing synthesis and static timing analysis and defining timing constraints.
Proven experience with Cadence tools and industry‑standard EDA flows.
Strong understanding of low‑power design techniques and PPA trade‑offs.
Proficiency in Python and shell scripting for design flow development and automation.
Excellent documentation skills, from drafting specifications to design intent and integration documentation.
Strong cross‑functional collaboration mindset.
Excellent problem‑solving and debugging abilities, with an analytical approach to complex design challenges.
Nice‑to‑haves
Experience with FPGA prototyping (Vivado or similar).
Familiarity with DFT, synthesis, and STA flows.
Knowledge of communication protocols such as SPI, I2C, or AMBA.
Exposure to C/C++ for test or integration code.
Experience contributing to design methodology or flow development.
Prior experience mentoring or coaching junior engineers.
Why join Innatera You’ll be part of a pioneering team building the next generation of brain‑inspired processors for edge AI, enabling real‑world impact across industries such as healthcare and consumer electronics.
