SiTime is the Precision Timing company.

Timing is the heartbeat of all electronics, ensuring performance, resilience and scalability. For decades, quartz devices, non-silicon technology, have kept systems in sync, but they struggle in harsher, more demanding environments. MEMS-based Precision Timing delivers greater accuracy, smaller size and resilience. Today, MEMS timing powers over 400 applications, including high-growth ones in AI datacenters, automated driving, industrial and humanoid robots, wearables and IoT.

Our semiconductor MEMS programmable solutions offer a rich feature set that enables customers to differentiate their products with higher performance, smaller size, lower power, and better reliability. With more than 4 billion devices shipped, SiTime is changing the timing industry. For more information, visit: www.sitime.com.

Job Summary

We at SiTime take pride in being the only company in the market that offers MEMS-based timing solutions. Our MEMS dies are uniquely complemented by our CMOS dies in the same package. We use state-of-the-art analog and digital circuits to achieve very aggressive design specs for our timing solutions. Our precision timing products keep pushing the boundaries of the industry across all dimensions and are by far superior to our competition. This has enabled us to continuously gain market share.

This has been achieved by pushing the innovation boundaries in MEMS and CMOS. Consisting of analog and digital blocks, our CMOS dies present unique technical challenges. The digital portion of our chips has been growing in the past few years and is expected to grow more rapidly in the upcoming years as our functionality and features scale up. To address our unique technical challenges, we are looking for a strong Senior Logic Design Engineer with a solid background in key digital design and implementation areas. It is not necessary to meet all job requirements to be a qualified candidate for the position.
