Sr. Staff ASIC Digital Design Engineer
SynopsysJob Title
Sr. Staff ASIC Digital Design Engineer
Role Summary
Join the LPDDR PHY IP digital design team to lead architecture, implementation, and productization of digital PHY logic for LPDDR memory interfaces. Work across verification, timing, DFT, power, and customer integration to deliver production-ready IP.
Experience Level
Senior — minimum 8 years of relevant ASIC/digital design experience as stated in the posting.
Responsibilities
Key responsibilities include design, verification collaboration, and release of LPDDR PHY digital IP.
- Define micro-architecture and implement synthesizable Verilog/SystemVerilog for PHY digital blocks.
- Perform simulation, functional analysis, and debugging in collaboration with Verification, Timing, DFT, and Power teams.
- Investigate and resolve lint, CDC/RDC, DFT, timing closure, and power issues.
- Maintain and improve design automation, flows, and processes.
- Provide integration-level customer support for SoC use of the PHY IP.
- Lead technical reviews and mentor junior engineers as needed.
Requirements
Must-have technical skills and experience; optional items are listed where noted.
- 8+ years experience in complex ASIC/digital development (experience requirement repeated for clarity).
- Strong knowledge of synthesizable Verilog and SystemVerilog design and coding practices.
- Experience with front-end flows: linting, synthesis, timing investigation and closure, cross-domain clocking, DFT, and power optimization techniques.
- Experience debugging CDC, timing, lint, DFT, and power issues in physical design flows.
- Experience with simulation and analysis tools and methodologies; ability to collaborate with verification and timing engineers.
- Good verbal and written communication skills; self-motivated and able to work in a global team.
- Nice-to-have: understanding of memory and memory PHY architecture.
Education Requirements
Bachelor's degree (BS) in Electrical Engineering is required as stated; posting specifies a minimum of 8 years of relevant technical experience.
