Design Engineer

Job Title

Design Engineer

Role Summary

Member of the IC design team responsible for physical ASIC design of high-speed CMOS products used in AI, cellular, networking, computing, and storage applications. Deliver physical implementation from floorplanning through mask release and post-release debug.

Work on complex high-speed ASICs, coordinate with customers and cross-functional teams, and ensure timing, verification, and integration goals are met.

Experience Level

Mid-level (Level - Mid-Career). The posting does not specify an explicit years-of-experience requirement.

Responsibilities

Primary responsibilities span physical implementation, verification, and integration of high-speed ASIC designs.

• Customer communication and requirements coordination
• Floor planning chips and blocks
• Routing and timing analysis for mission and test modes; achieve timing closure
• Physical integration of custom logic and standard-cell blocks
• Integration of memories, SerDes, I/O, test, and clocking structures
• Address power, area, and performance trade-offs
• Perform physical verification to ensure error-free artwork/mask release
• Debug complex design issues during development and after product release
• Collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams

Requirements

Essential skills, work authorization, and personal attributes expected for the role.

• Hands-on experience taking high-speed (>2 GHz) integrated circuit designs from concept through product release (must)
• Experience with floor planning, routing, timing analysis and closure, and physical verification (must)
• Experience with physical integration of custom logic and standard-cell blocks (must)
• Ability to debug complex design issues during and after release (must)
• Strong communication and teamwork skills; self-motivated and able to work independently (must)
• Legal authorization to work in the United States (must)
• Familiarity with integration of memories, SerDes, I/O, test and clocking structures; knowledge of power integrity and signal integrity (nice-to-have)
• Understanding of design trade-offs for power, area, and performance (nice-to-have)

Education Requirements

Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or Computer Engineering.
