Staff ASIC Design Engineer

Job Title

Staff ASIC Design Engineer

Role Summary

Design and implement RTL for complex ASIC blocks and integrate IP into system-level designs. Work on front-end integration, automation, and cross-functional system integration with SOC design, verification, emulation, STA, physical design, and software teams.

Adopt AI-assisted tools where appropriate to improve engineering efficiency while maintaining secure and responsible usage.

Experience Level

Senior — typically 7–10 years of ASIC design experience as indicated in the posting.

Responsibilities

Primary technical responsibilities include design, integration, verification support, and automation.

• Design, implement, and debug complex digital logic and RTL.
• Integrate IP into larger subsystems and support front-end IP integration (Lint, CDC, Synthesis, ECO).
• Support timing analysis, code coverage, assertions, and other quality flows.
• Develop design automation and scripts using Python or other languages.
• Collaborate with SOC Design, SOC Design Verification, Emulation, STA, Physical Design, and software/systems teams for system integration.
• Use AI-assisted tools to enhance code quality, documentation, debugging, and to accelerate validation and automation tasks.

Requirements

Must-have technical skills and experience; preferred items listed separately.

• Expertise in RTL and/or testbench development using Verilog/SystemVerilog.
• Solid understanding of digital ASIC design methodology and experience on large-scale designs.
• Familiarity with standard ASIC front-end and integration flows: Synthesis, Lint, CDC, ECO, timing analysis, code coverage, assertions.
• Hands-on experience with Design/Verification CAD tools (examples: ncsim, Design Compiler, Formality, PrimeTime).
• Knowledge of AMBA interconnect protocols (AXI/AHB).
• Fluent English with strong verbal and written communication skills; effective collaborator and teammate.
• Self-motivated and able to work independently and across teams.
• Preferred: scripting proficiency in TCL, Perl, or Python; experience with high-speed protocols (PCIe, USB, SATA, DisplayPort, HDMI); familiarity with storage/memory protocols (NVMe, SCSI, CXL, DDR); familiarity with AI/ML concepts and AI-enhanced EDA features.

Education Requirements

MS degree in Electrical Engineering or equivalent practical experience required. The posting specifies 7–10 years of ASIC design experience. Equivalent experience in a related technical field is accepted.
