Hardware Digital Engineer
HybridAustin, Texas, United States
Job Summary
Collaborate with multi-disciplinary hardware engineering teams to develop test and measurement products by writing and debugging Verilog/SystemVerilog RTL for functional blocks, including high-performance and mixed-signal designs. Contribute to design verification by developing assertions, checkers, and test plans, while performing equivalence checking and linting. Develop register maps and generate documentation to ensure clear design intent, then support silicon bring-up, diagnostics, and post-silicon debug through prototype hardware bring-up and board-level validation plans. This entry-level role offers opportunities to expand digital design skills under experienced technical leaders within the product lifecycle.
