We have a passion for what we do and always seek out better ways to serve our customers. How the Oslo Design Teams work The EFR32 and EFM32 MCU and Wireless products combine an energy-friendly MCU with a highly integrated radio transceiver. These devices are well suited for a variety of applications across a wide range of RF protocols, digital protocols, and power levels. The design teams consist of a combination of more experienced designers and young talents that are given a perfect opportunity to develop within the field. We work in close collaboration with sites in Austin and Singapore. We deliver a low power, simplicity focused platform, which is the base for all Silicon Labs MCUs and Wireless MCUs. We leverage our history of low power, simplicity focused designs to make the best products for the future of the Silicon Labs IoT story, while having fun. As an IC Design Engineer in our Oslo IC Design organization, you will join either the Analog Design team or the Digital Design team. The teams collaborate closely to develop key analog and digital functions for Silicon Labs' MCUs and Wireless MCUs. Why this position matters The Internet of Things is a fast growing, innovative market. Silicon Labs has invested in many exciting and market-leading highly integrated mixed signal SoCs aimed at IoT. The low power Gecko MCUs and Wireless MCUs that we develop will be deployed in literally millions of products worldwide. The IoT is the future of Silicon Labs, and the Oslo Design teams are at the forefront of that initiative. As a Design Engineer you will work with our other hardware design teams, software teams and the marketing department to define and deliver key features within the low power Gecko MCU and Wireless MCU platform.
