Senior VLSI Circuit Design Engineer

Job Title

Senior VLSI Circuit Design Engineer

Role Summary

Design and develop analog/digital integrated circuits to meet customer requirements for performance, power, and functionality. Work within a multi-disciplinary engineering team covering specification, simulation, verification, and layout to deliver production-ready designs.

Experience Level

Senior-level. Years of experience not specified in source.

Responsibilities

Primary responsibilities for the role include:

• Architect, design, and implement VLSI circuits (analog and/or digital) to meet functional, performance, and power targets.
• Create and maintain RTL (VHDL/Verilog/SystemVerilog) and supporting testbenches for verification.
• Run behavioral and circuit-level simulations; analyze results and iterate on designs.
• Collaborate with verification, layout, and system teams to integrate blocks and resolve issues.
• Prepare design documentation, reports, and handoff packages for tapeout and manufacturing.
• Debug silicon bring-up issues and support post-silicon validation as required.

Requirements

Must-have technical skills and traits; nice-to-have items listed where applicable.

• Must-have: Strong background in VLSI circuit design with hands-on experience in VHDL, Verilog, or SystemVerilog.
• Must-have: Practical experience with simulation tools and flow (behavioral and circuit-level).
• Must-have: Experience using MATLAB for modeling, analysis, or verification.
• Must-have: Familiarity with layout tools and tapeout handoff processes.
• Must-have: Ability to work independently and collaboratively within an engineering team; good problem-solving and communication skills.
• Nice-to-have: Prior silicon bring-up or post-silicon debug experience.
