Pixelworks Inc Work Values

Daily Duties at Pixelworks Inc:

Developed several image processing IC’s for the flat panel monitor, digital projector, and advanced television markets. • Performed prototyping duties for a high-end projector chip using FPGA’s. This allowed our team to analyze the quality of new image processing algorithms and included synthesis, place and route, and system integration. • Held the role of design lead and handled all top-level integration issues for a MIPS-based image processing SOC. Duties also included IP configuration and connection, verification, and design of a ROM/nand flash memory controller. • Worked with the integration of analog design blocks into a digital system and the design and verification of a timing controller to interface with flat panel monitor hardware. • Responsible for BIST structure insertion and test vector generation for several projects. Test vector generation included both functional vectors as well as ATPG patterns. • Wrote many perl scripts to automate the generation of register files and module packages, manipulate test vector files and formats, run and report on nightly regressions, and generate verification input stimulus.

What they like about Pixelworks Inc:

Working in an organization that is technologically advanced, creative, and innovative is critical in your assessment of hiring companies. Less important to you are stability of the organization, the length of time an organization has been in business, and the business' plans for the future. You prefer a fast-moving company that will take risks to achieve its goals and objectives. The length of time the company has been in business is irrelevant. Maintaining status quo is unnecessary. You thrive on change, uncertainty and the upside of potential business risks, especially those associated with innovation. Stability for the long haul is not nearly as important as is working in an atmosphere that is charged with a sense of urgency and constant change.
