Responsibilities

Your main responsibilities will include:

• Creating and authoring detailed micro-architecture specifications along with managing the Verilog RTL implementation of major IP blocks.
• Leading the full ASIC development lifecycle, covering specification, RTL coding, lint checks, synthesis, and post-silicon validation.
• Engaging in timing closure efforts through static timing analysis and collaborating with physical design teams.
• Integrating ASIC IP blocks into full-chip SOC environments, ensuring compliance with industry standards.
• Collaborating with verification teams to guarantee functional coverage and implementing DFT/DFD features.
• Developing scripts in Python/Perl/Tcl to enhance workflow automation and efficiency.
• Driving cross-functional collaborations to resolve technical challenges ensuring timely delivery of silicon.

Requirements

The following qualifications are required for this position:

• A minimum of two production ASIC tape-outs in senior roles.
• Expertise in Verilog RTL coding and a thorough understanding of the ASIC design process.
• Hands-on experience writing and debugging SDC timing constraints, as well as integrating complex IP blocks into SoC designs.
• Knowledge of on-chip interconnect protocols, particularly AMBA.

Education Requirements

A Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering or Computer Engineering is required for this role.
