soc design implementation engineer (apprenticeship)

COMPANY DESCRIPTION Microchip Technology Inc. is a leading provider of embedded control applications. Our product portfolio comprises general purpose and specialized 8-bit, 16-bit, and 32-bit microcontrollers, 32-bit microprocessors, field-programmable gate array (FPGA) products, a broad spectrum of high-performance linear, mixed-signal, power management, thermal management, radio frequency (RF), timing, safety, security, wired connectivity and wireless connectivity devices, as well as serial Electrically Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory (EEPROM), Serial Flash memories, Parallel Flash memories, and serial Static Random Access Memory (SRAM). We also license Flash-IP solutions that are incorporated in a broad range of products. JOB DESCRIPTION You will be part of the 32 bits microcontroller business unit and more specifically of the SoC Design Implementation team. This team oversees the chip synthesis, definition of the power domains isolations or level-shifting rules, and the static time analysis. The work includes planning, flow setup and debug, development of new procedures, constraints definition, reports generation, data collection and results analysis, quality reviews, teamwork. This role will report to the local manager and is based in Nantes, France. As a Design Implementation Engineer apprentice, you will work with team members located in Nantes, Chandler Arizona, Bangalore India, and potentially interface with other corporate team members worldwide, such as SoC design integration or verification teams, to help improving or automating design tasks and fixing issues. Your mission will be to contribute to new 32 bits microcontrollers development. WHAT’S ATTRACTIVE ABOUT THIS OPPORTUNITY? THIS POSITION WILL ALLOW YOU TO: * Work with PIC32C ARM-based devices * Learn synthesis, STA and flows to support multi-power domains implementation * Enhance the existing flow by automating various tasks or by implementing new features * Participate to the development of a new innovative micro-controller family * Interaction with many teams from different geo locations (US/India) JOB REQUIREMENTS QUALIFICATIONS AND EXPERIENCE * 3rd cycle technical education in electronics and embedded software development COMPETENCIES * VHDL, Verilog, SystemVerilog * Exposure to STA, Synthesis and Functional verification tools (DC, PrimeTime, PrimePower, VCLP, Formality) * Ability to implement power constraints using UPF/CPF constructs is a plus * Good scripting skills (TCL/Perl) * Familiarity with RTL2GDS design concepts/flow * Software collaborative tools (GIT, JIRA…) * Microcontrollers knowledge (ARM architecture is appreciated) and standard on-chip peripherals (Communication interfaces, Analog interface, DMA...) * C-code embedded development * French / English speaking ORGANIZATIONAL SKILLS: * Easy communicant, team spirit, curious, both analysis and synthesis spirit
