Application Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC) Design Engineer

Job Title

Application Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC) Design Engineer

Role Summary

Lead technical role to define and execute ASIC strategy from architecture through silicon bring-up for advanced hardware platforms. Work across hardware, software, systems, and external partners to translate complex requirements into production-ready custom silicon and to shape the long-term silicon roadmap.

Hands-on technical leadership including ownership of RTL, verification, implementation, tape-out, and mentoring of a small ASIC engineering team.

Experience Level

Senior-level. 10+ years of hardware design experience with proven delivery of multiple full ASIC development cycles.

Responsibilities

Primary responsibilities include:

• Establish and maintain ASIC development methodologies across architecture, RTL, verification, implementation, and tape-out.
• Lead end-to-end ASIC development: microarchitecture, RTL development, integration, validation, and silicon bring-up.
• Coordinate with external design, fabrication, and manufacturing partners to ensure successful project execution.
• Collaborate with hardware, software, systems, and cross-functional teams to deliver optimized silicon solutions.
• Drive technical trade-offs across performance, power, area, cost, and schedule constraints.
• Manage subsystem roadmaps and delivery schedules for commercial and advanced technology programs.
• Support FPGA-based development and migration from FPGA prototypes to production ASICs.
• Provide technical leadership and mentor junior ASIC engineers.

Requirements

Must-have technical skills and experience:

• 10+ years of hardware design experience with multiple ASIC tape-outs and silicon validation.
• Proven experience transitioning FPGA designs into ASIC implementations.
• Strong RTL design skills, preferably using SystemVerilog.
• Experience implementing complex DSP functions in hardware.
• Familiarity with ASIC development flows, semiconductor process technologies, and manufacturing partners.
• Experience with industry-standard EDA tools (Cadence, Synopsys, Siemens EDA).
• Strong understanding of FPGA architectures, microprocessors, and digital system design.
• Experience managing external collaborations with foundries and vendors.
• Mixed-signal design experience is highly desirable.

Education Requirements

MS or PhD in Electrical Engineering or a related discipline is specified. The posting does not state an explicit option for equivalent practical experience.
