ASIC Digital Design Sr Staff Engineer

Job Title

ASIC Digital Design Sr Staff Engineer

Role Summary

Lead RTL development for High Bandwidth Memory (HBM) PHY IP, working at the intersection of digital, mixed-signal, and physical design. Collaborate with cross-functional global teams to translate architecture and standards into high-quality, production-ready RTL and support the ASIC/IP flow through silicon debug and release.

Experience Level

Senior — typically 7–10 years of hands-on ASIC/RTL design experience.

Responsibilities

Primary responsibilities include:

• Develop and deliver RTL implementations for HBM PHY IP using SystemVerilog/Verilog.
• Translate architectural requirements and industry-standard specifications into RTL and verification deliverables.
• Collaborate with analog, mixed-signal, and physical-design teams to ensure integration and performance targets.
• Address physical implementation challenges including timing closure, low-power strategies, and high-speed design constraints.
• Create and maintain specification documents and provide technical guidance across teams and sites.
• Automate design and verification tasks with scripting to improve efficiency and reliability.
• Support the full ASIC/IP flow from concept through silicon debug and production release.

Requirements

Must-have skills and experience:

• 7–10 years of RTL design experience, including work on high-speed digital and mixed-signal interfaces.
• Proficient in SystemVerilog and Verilog for RTL development.
• Strong background in high-speed design, timing closure, and low-power design techniques.
• Experience across the ASIC/IP development flow, including DFT/DFM and hardware debug.
• Scripting proficiency (Python, Perl, Tcl) to automate tasks.
• Familiarity with modeling analog/mixed-signal behavior and awareness of physical implementation challenges.
• Ability to produce clear, detailed specification and design documents and to support cross-functional teams.

Preferred:

• Experience with physically aware synthesis.
• Experience with DDR/HBM DRAM interfaces and UCIe technologies.

Education Requirements

Not specified.
