Staff Digital Design Engineer

Job Title

Staff Digital Design Engineer

Role Summary

Design and verify digital blocks for ASIC/IC products, covering RTL through post-layout verification. Work on digital backend flows and collaborate with place-and-route, analog, test, and application teams to deliver silicon-ready designs and prototypes.

Experience Level

Senior — 7+ years of ASIC/IC design experience.

Responsibilities

Key responsibilities include:

• Architect and implement optimized digital blocks that meet functional, cost, and low-power targets.
• Perform digital backend tasks: synthesis, UPF power intent, static timing analysis (STA), and logic equivalence checking (LEC).
• Prepare and hand off design constraints and deliverables to P&R; support post-layout checks and timing closure.
• Interface with place-and-route and participate in post-layout verification and sign-off activities.
• Collaborate with analog and test engineers on testability, debug, and silicon bring-up.
• Develop and validate FPGA prototypes; support lab debugging and physical silicon evaluation.

Requirements

Must-have and preferred qualifications.

• Must-have: 7+ years of ASIC/IC design experience across the RTL-to-silicon flow including RTL coding, synthesis, STA, LEC, and post-layout verification.
• Must-have: Fluent in Verilog RTL and ASIC design methodology; able to develop synthesis, STA, and P&R constraints.
• Must-have: Able to work independently and as part of a cross-functional team; strong communication and organizational skills.
• Nice-to-have: Experience with DFT or physical design.
• Nice-to-have: Experience with FPGA prototyping, lab equipment, and silicon lab debug.

Education Requirements

Not specified.
