Semiconductor, ASIC & RFIC Design Consultant (Remote, Part-time)

Job Title

Semiconductor, ASIC & RFIC Design Consultant (Remote, Part-time)

Role Summary

Part-time remote consulting role for experienced electrical engineers to perform technical review and evaluation of semiconductor, ASIC, analog/mixed-signal, RFIC, and physical design work. The consultant will assess architecture, methodology, tapeout workflows, verification and silicon validation, and provide clear, actionable engineering feedback.

Experience Level

Mid-level / experienced professional. The posting requests experienced engineers with production silicon and tapeout experience; no specific years-of-experience requirement is stated.

Responsibilities

Provide technical evaluation, written feedback, and practical recommendations across semiconductor design and validation workflows.

• Review semiconductor architectures, implementation methodologies, and design tradeoffs across analog, mixed-signal, RFIC, ASIC, and physical design domains.
• Assess tapeout flows, verification plans, timing closure, DRC/LVS, parasitic extraction, and silicon bring-up procedures.
• Evaluate pre-silicon and post-silicon development workflows for technical soundness and identify gaps in methodology or verification planning.
• Provide clear written feedback on feasibility, power/performance/timing/area tradeoffs, and engineering assumptions.
• Support timing closure and verification reviews and advise on implementation or ECO strategies.
• Work independently on remote, project-based assignments and meet agreed deliverables for each engagement.

Requirements

Required technical skills and attributes for consideration. Candidates should be able to work remotely on a contract basis and be available for ~15–20 hours/week depending on project needs.

• Hands-on production silicon experience and ownership of chip blocks or systems through tapeout (must-have).
• Practical experience with semiconductor PDKs (e.g., TSMC, GlobalFoundries, Samsung, Intel) and related tapeout workflows.
• Familiarity with schematic design, simulation, verification methodologies, DRC/LVS, parasitic extraction, and timing closure.
• Ability to analyze technical materials and explain design tradeoffs clearly in writing.
• Ability to work independently as an independent contractor on remote, project-based engagements; eligible professionals should be based in the United States depending on project needs.

Nice-to-have:

• Production silicon across commercial or high-performance programs.
• RFIC tapeout experience at GHz or mmWave frequencies; advanced-node design experience.
• Experience with AI hardware, accelerators, or high-performance compute systems.
• Prior consulting or remote project-based evaluation experience.

Education Requirements

Academic backgrounds in electrical engineering, computer engineering, microelectronics, semiconductor design, applied physics, or related fields are relevant. Professional production silicon experience is emphasized; equivalent hands-on semiconductor design, verification, tapeout, or silicon validation experience may be considered in lieu of formal degrees.
