ASIC Digital Design Sr Staff Engineer - DDR/LPDDR
SynopsysJob Title
ASIC Digital Design Sr Staff Engineer - DDR/LPDDR
Role Summary
Senior engineering role responsible for leading design and delivery of high-speed DDR/LPDDR memory interfaces for ASIC projects. Works with cross-functional teams including verification, physical design, firmware, and system integration to define and implement memory subsystems.
Experience Level
Senior - typically 7+ years of relevant ASIC digital design experience, with extensive work on memory interfaces (DDR/LPDDR).
Responsibilities
Primary responsibilities expected for this role include:
- Lead architecture, RTL design, and implementation of DDR/LPDDR controllers and PHY interfaces.
- Develop and review RTL (SystemVerilog) and memory-interface IP to meet performance and timing targets.
- Drive timing closure, synthesis constraints, and collaborate with physical design for floorplanning and timing optimization.
- Coordinate with verification teams to define test plans and debug memory bring-up issues in silicon and board-level testing.
- Mentor and guide junior engineers, conduct design reviews, and establish best practices for memory subsystem design.
Requirements
Must-have and preferred qualifications for successful candidates.
- Must-have: Significant hands-on experience with DDR and LPDDR protocols and controller/PHY design.
- Must-have: Strong RTL design skills (SystemVerilog) and proven experience in ASIC digital design flows.
- Must-have: Experience with synthesis, static timing analysis (STA), timing closure, and common EDA tools.
- Must-have: Experience debugging memory interface issues in silicon bring-up and board-level testing.
- Nice-to-have: Experience with DDR5/LPDDR5, signal integrity awareness, memory PHY tuning, or familiarity with industry EDA toolchains for memory IP.
Education Requirements
Not specified.
