ASIC Design Engineer

ASIC Design Engineer

We are seeking a skilled ASIC Design Engineer with a solid background in digital design , RTL coding , and ASIC development . The ideal candidate will have extensive experience in designing, developing, and optimizing high-performance ASICs, with a strong focus on SystemVerilog or VHDL . This role will involve taking designs from concept to tape-out, working in a collaborative environment with cross-functional teams, and ensuring that designs meet performance, area, and power requirements.

Key Responsibilities:

\n
• Digital RTL Design: Design and implement high-performance RTL using SystemVerilog or VHDL for complex ASIC designs.
\n
• Architecture Development: Contribute to the design and specification of digital architectures and system-level components, including processors , memory controllers , and high-speed interfaces.
\n
• Synthesis & Optimization: Perform logic synthesis , timing analysis , and optimize for area , power , and performance (PPA) during the design process.
\n
• Design Integration: Integrate and interface complex digital blocks into a cohesive system-on-chip (SoC) or ASIC .
\n
• Verification: Collaborate with the verification team to develop testbenches , perform functional simulation , and ensure correctness and robustness of designs.
\n
• Timing Closure: Work on timing closure for your designs using static timing analysis (STA) tools and ensure all designs meet required timing constraints.
\n
• Design for Low Power: Implement low-power design techniques , such as clock gating , power gating , and dynamic voltage scaling .
\n
• Collaboration: Work closely with cross-functional teams, including physical design , verification , software , and quality assurance teams, to ensure successful integration and deployment of ASIC designs.
\n
• Documentation: Produce detailed design documentation, including design specifications , test plans , and simulation results , and track progress against development milestones.
\n
• Debugging & Optimization: Use simulation tools and hardware debugging techniques to troubleshoot design issues and improve performance, timing, and power.
\n

Required Qualifications:

\n
• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering , Computer Engineering , or a related field.
\n
• 4+ years of hands-on experience in ASIC design and RTL development.
\n
• Expertise in RTL coding using SystemVerilog or VHDL .
\n
• In-depth knowledge of digital design principles , including finite state machines (FSMs) , timing analysis , clocking schemes , and synchronous design .
\n
• Familiarity with ASIC design flow , including synthesis , place and route , timing closure , and power optimization .
\n
• Experience with simulation tools like ModelSim , VCS , or Questa for functional verification.
\n
• Knowledge of static timing analysis (STA) and timing closure techniques.
\n
• Strong understanding of power analysis and implementation of low-power design methodologies.
\n
• Experience with hardware debugging tools (e.g., logic analyzers , oscilloscopes , protocol analyzers ) for bringing up prototypes.
\n
• Excellent communication skills and the ability to collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams.
