Job Title

Engineer II - Digital ASIC Design

Role Summary

Implement RTL (SystemVerilog) for complex digital IP blocks and drive designs from micro-architecture through delivery. Lead verification and static-check efforts and collaborate with SoC integration and physical design teams to meet timing, power, and area targets.

Experience Level

Mid-level; 2.5–5 years of ASIC or FPGA digital design experience expected.

Responsibilities

Primary responsibilities include:

  • Implement RTL (SystemVerilog) for complex digital IP from micro-architecture to delivery.
  • Drive power, performance, and area (PPA) trade-offs and optimizations to meet product targets.
  • Collaborate with SoC integration teams on connectivity, top-level timing, and congestion issues.
  • Lead lint, CDC, RDC, and formal verification efforts.
  • Work with physical design teams to close timing and resolve routing bottlenecks.
  • Verify and validate module and system functions; organize design documentation.

Requirements

Must-have skills and experience:

  • 2.5–5 years of proven ASIC or FPGA digital design experience.
  • Proficient in SystemVerilog with strong understanding of synchronous and asynchronous design techniques.
  • Experience with front-end EDA flow tools (examples: VCS, SpyGlass, Design Compiler, PrimeTime).
  • Proficient with scripting to improve engineering efficiency (e.g., Python, Tcl, shell).
  • Post-silicon validation or bring-up experience; familiarity with lab equipment (oscilloscope, logic analyzer, etc.).
  • Willingness to travel up to 25%.

Nice-to-have:

  • Familiarity with PHY/SerDes protocols; knowledge of IEEE 802.3 is a plus.

Education Requirements

Bachelor of Science (BS) in Electrical Engineering.
