Senior Design Engineer

Job Description

At Microchip Technology Inc., we empower innovation by developing technology that runs the world. We are looking for a Senior Design Engineer to join our Human Machine Interface Division (HMID) – the global center of excellence behind industry‑leading maXTouch® capacitive sensing technology.

As a Senior Design Engineer, you will play a key role in shaping the next generation of touch controllers and system‑level HMI solutions used across automotive, industrial, and consumer applications. You will work with a highly skilled R&D team and collaborate globally across silicon, firmware, and applications engineering.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Take ownership of the Capacitive Touch Engine (CTE) design and development across analog front‑end acquisition control, digital signal acquisition and processing, and low‑level firmware for performance‑critical execution.
• Define and optimise CTE acquisition sequencing and control architecture.
• Design, implement, and verify RTL (Verilog/SystemVerilog) for sensing and signal processing.
• Develop high‑performance embedded routines to control AFE acquisition and processing.
• Support silicon bring‑up, debug, and feature validation.
• Investigate and resolve complex system issues across analog, digital, and firmware domains.
• Contribute to continuous improvement of design methodologies and system performance.

Requirements & Qualifications

• Electrical Engineering, Electronics, Embedded Systems, Physics, or related discipline (Master’s preferred).
• Minimum five years of industry experience in digital or mixed‑signal IC design.
• Proven expertise in RTL design and verification, Verilog/SystemVerilog, Embedded C programming, and solid understanding of microcontroller architectures.
• Experience with modelling, scripting, or data analysis (Python, MATLAB or similar).
• Collaborative, proactive mindset with strong problem‑solving and communication skills.
• Preferred: experience with PIC, ARM, or embedded MCU platforms; familiarity with display technologies (OLED, micro‑LED, large‑format touch systems); exposure to functional safety or automotive standards (ISO26262, Automotive SPICE, IEC/UL60730); knowledge of capacitive touch sensing systems.
