Staff Engineer

Job Title

Staff Engineer

Role Summary

Work on ASIC design using Broadcom CMOS cell-based ASIC technologies across the full chip development lifecycle. Collaborate with internal and external customers to implement designs targeting advanced nodes (5nm/3nm).

Responsible for implementation activities from RTL analysis through synthesis, timing closure, physical design, verification, and post-prototype support.

Experience Level

Senior-level. Years of experience not specified.

Responsibilities

Primary responsibilities include technical implementation, design closure, and cross-team coordination for advanced-node ASIC projects.

• Perform RTL analysis, synthesis, and full-chip static timing analysis (STA).
• Drive design optimization and constraint cleanup for tapeout at advanced nodes.
• Participate in physical design tasks: floorplanning, placement, and design closure.
• Support timing verification, simulation, test insertion, and vector generation.
• Provide post-prototype test support and resolve silicon issues.
• Work independently on block implementation and top-level integration tasks.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams and external customers to meet tapeout schedules.

Requirements

Key must-have skills and the primary preferences for candidates.

• Solid VLSI background and strong understanding of the ASIC design flow.
• Proven ability to independently handle block implementation and top-level tasks.
• Tapeout experience at 5nm process nodes (experience with advanced-node tapeouts).
• Strong communication and problem-solving skills.
• Familiarity with full-chip synthesis flows and STA is expected.

Nice-to-have:

• Experience with DFT insertion, power/IVD analysis, DRC/LVS.
• Experience with top-level floorplan/STA and low-power techniques.
• Scripting skills (Perl, Tcl, Python) to automate flows.

Education Requirements

Preferred: MS in Microelectronics or a related discipline. (Degree preference listed as MS; no explicit minimum degree or equivalent-experience statement provided.)
