SynopsysJob Title
ASIC Digital Design Sr. Staff Engineer
Role Summary
Senior RTL designer responsible for front-end digital implementation of UCIe Controller IP. The role focuses on delivering synthesis-ready RTL, meeting timing/power/area targets, and integrating automation into the design flow.
You will work with architecture, verification, and physical design teams to enable production silicon used in HPC, automotive, and AI customer products.
Experience Level
Senior - typically 8+ years of ASIC digital design experience with RTL ownership in production silicon.
Responsibilities
Key responsibilities include implementing and optimizing RTL, developing automation, and collaborating across teams to close timing and power gaps.
- Design RTL modules from microarchitecture to synthesis-ready implementation for UCIe Controller IP.
- Optimize designs for timing, power, and area across multiple process nodes.
- Develop and maintain design automation scripts (Python, Tcl, Perl) and flow integrations.
- Work with architecture, verification, and physical design teams to resolve timing and power issues.
- Participate in design reviews and contribute to methodology and process improvements.
Requirements
Must-have technical skills and experience; preferred items listed separately.
- 8+ years of ASIC digital design experience with production RTL ownership.
- Expert-level Verilog/SystemVerilog skills for timing-critical designs.
- Strong scripting skills in Python, Tcl, and/or Perl for automation.
- Deep practical knowledge of synthesis, static timing analysis, and power optimization.
- Proven ability to analyze trade-offs between performance, area, and power and to meet schedule commitments.
Nice-to-have:
- Experience with Controller IP or high-speed interfaces.
- Prior contributions to methodology or design-flow improvements.
Education Requirements
Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related technical field.
