Change the world. Love your job.
Power the future. Love the work.
Digital designers bring silicon to life. In this role you will define, develop, and refine the digital portion of battery gauge mixed signal SOCs —translating system intent into micro-architecture, RTL, and ultimately production-ready hardware. You will partner closely with system, analog, verification, and product engineering teams to own block-level specifications, and carry designs through concept, implementation, and validation into mass production. Along the way you will analyze data and prove out methods that meet demanding performance, quality, and reliability targets.
If you are looking to join a creative, highly driven and collaborative team that consistently delivers groundbreaking technology into the world of battery gauges, this is your opportunity.
Qualifications
What you'll do:
- Collaborate with system and analog design to define digital micro-architecture specifications and implement the RTL that realizes them.
- Drive the full digital flow from RTL to physical layout (RTL-to-GDSII), applying and advancing industry best practices, and guide fellow team members through it.
- Partner with Design Verification, Validation, Product Engineering, and Test Engineering to ensure a smooth, first-pass transfer to production.
- Interface with internal and external stakeholders to understand design requirements, solve problems, and lead technical discussions.
- Explore opportunities to optimize and improve our digital designs and help evolve architectures over time.
Why you'll want to be here:
- We place a high emphasis on both technical and management growth, with real opportunities to expand your role as you grow.
- A team that lifts each other up. Strong team spirit and genuine collaboration are core to how we work, and they create the room for everyone to build new skills.
- Room to innovate. From integrating ARM cores and working closely with the analog team in evolving new mixed signal and signal processing architectures, you'll grow into embedded and DSP design while having the freedom to try new approaches and see them ship.
Minimum requirements:
- 5+ years of relevant digital design experience.
- A thorough understanding of digital logic design.
- Experience with the full digital flow, RTL to GDSII.
- Familiarity with Verilog and digital simulators.
Preferred qualifications:
- Prior experience developing digital for embedded controller products.
- High aptitude for learning, developing, and integrating modern design flows into digital design methodologies.
- Strong scripting skills and a drive to automate.
- Thorough understanding and hands-on experience with digital interfaces such as I2C, SPI, and SPMI.
- Experience with asynchronous digital circuits and state machines.
- Experience with SystemVerilog, including its associated design verification (DV) aspects such as UVM, testbench development, assertions, and functional coverage.
- Exposure to Digital Signal Processing (digital filters).
- Strong verbal and written communication skills.
- Initiative, ownership, and a consistent drive for results.
- Strong time-management skills that enable on-time project delivery.
- Ability to collaborate with, and provide leadership to, cross-functional teams.
- A demonstrated ability to build strong, influential relationships and thrive in a team environment.

What Employers Look For
The qualifications that appear most often in ic design engineer jobs.
- Bachelor's or master's degree in electrical engineering or a related field
- Proficiency in Verilog, VHDL, or SystemVerilog for RTL design and verification
- Experience with industry-standard EDA tools such as Cadence, Synopsys, or Mentor
- Hands-on experience with full chip design flow from RTL to GDSII tape-out
- Knowledge of analog or mixed-signal circuit design techniques and simulation
- Familiarity with design-for-test methodologies and physical design constraints
Tips for Your Ic Design Engineer Job Search
Tailor your resume to process nodes
List the specific process nodes you have designed in, such as 28nm, 7nm, or 5nm, directly on your resume. Hiring managers screen for node experience before reading anything else, so burying this detail costs you interviews.
Apply early to roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists ic design engineer openings from across the United States in one place, so you can find roles that match and apply directly to each listing.
Showcase tape-out experience on your resume
Document every tape-out you contributed to, your role in it, and whether the silicon came back functional. Employers weight tapeout credits heavily because they signal you can close a design cycle under real schedule and budget pressure.
Target openings by design domain first
Search by domain, analog, digital, RF, or mixed-signal, before filtering by company or location. A strong analog background rarely transfers cleanly to a pure digital RTL role, so matching domain early prevents wasted applications.
Prepare for tool-specific screening questions
Interviewers at most IC companies open with questions tied to specific EDA tools, Cadence Virtuoso, Synopsys PrimeTime, or Mentor Calibre. Know which tools each target company uses and be ready to walk through a workflow you have completed in each.
Negotiate using design complexity, not tenure
When discussing compensation, anchor your case on the complexity of blocks you have owned, gate count, frequency targets, or power budgets, rather than years of experience alone. Complexity is what IC teams price, not time served.
Ic Design Engineer Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
Which companies are hiring the most ic design engineers?
The companies hiring the most ic design engineers right now include Texas Instruments, Apple, and Blue Origin, with the largest share of openings in California, Texas, and Arizona, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of September 2026. Defense contractors and automotive semiconductor suppliers have been steadily expanding their IC teams alongside the established chip design leaders.
How many ic design engineer jobs are remote?
About 21% of ic design engineer openings are fully remote or hybrid as of September 2026, which is lower than most engineering disciplines because lab access and EDA tool licensing often require on-site presence. Digital verification and front-end RTL roles tend to have the highest share of remote-eligible positions compared to analog layout or physical design roles.
How do you become a ic design engineer?
Start with a bachelor's degree in electrical engineering, focusing on courses in circuit theory, semiconductor devices, and digital logic. Build hands-on skills in at least one EDA toolset during coursework or internships, and work toward contributing to a real design project or university chip tape-out. A master's degree strengthens your position for analog or mixed-signal specializations, where theoretical depth matters most to employers.
How do you get hired as an ic design engineer with little experience?
Target companies that run structured new-grad rotations, since they are built to onboard engineers without production tape-out credits. Contribute to an open-source chip project or a university shuttle run to get a verified design entry on your resume. Emphasize simulation work, schematic capture, or any post-silicon debug you have done, because hiring managers look for evidence you understand what makes silicon fail, not just that you can write RTL.
What does the ic design engineer interview process look like?
Most IC companies run a recruiter screen followed by a technical phone interview covering fundamentals such as transistor operation, timing analysis, or RTL coding exercises. On-site rounds typically include a design exercise where you are asked to size a circuit or debug a schematic in real time, plus behavioral questions and a hiring manager conversation. Some companies add a take-home design problem before the on-site stage.
Where can I find and apply to ic design engineer jobs?
You can find and apply to ic design engineer jobs on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings from companies across the United States. Search the listings to find roles that match your design domain and experience level, then apply directly to each one that fits.
