Senior VLSI Design Engineer

About the Business Unit

Ceva is at the forefront of next-generation cellular communication systems. We build licensable 5G modem IP for User Equipment %28UE%29 and base stations, from IoT-class devices to high-throughput infrastructure. Our platforms target the latest 5G-Advanced releases.

A fast-growing focus is space and satellite infrastructure: 5G satellite networks that bring standard cellular connectivity to LEO/GEO satellites and direct-to-device links. This domain brings unique challenges, including large Doppler shifts, long round-trip delays, radiation-aware design and tight power budgets.

About the Role

As a Senior VLSI Designer, you%27ll lead the full design flow of advanced DSP cores and baseband hardware accelerators, from architecture to timing closure. This hands-on role is central to developing the IPs behind our next-generation modem products. It comes with strong cross-functional collaboration %28algorithms, architecture, verification, backend and customers%29 and real technical ownership.

What You’ll Do

Design and implement high-performance 5G baseband DSP cores and hardware accelerators for transmit and receive chains.Develop programmable DSP architectures for multi-antenna systems, including satellite connectivity.

Own the design flow from architecture and RTL development through verification support, synthesis, and timing closure.

ptimize power, performance, and area %28PPA%29 in collaboration with backend and cross-functional teams.

Work closely with algorithm, verification, backend, and software teams, as well as customers, from specification to silicon bring-up.
