As a design-focused ASIC engineer, you will perform logic design, implementation and documentation for the SoC (System on a Chip) development. You will collaborate with other functional teams to determine the micro-architecture, logic design and system simulation for the SoC development as well as define module interfaces/formats based on system requirements and customer feature requests.
A design-focused ASIC engineer will:
- Perform logic design for the integration of cell libraries, functional units and sub-systems into SoC full chip designs
- Perform Register Transfer Level (RTL) design and simulation for SoCs
- Contribute to the development of multidimensional designs involving the layout of complex integrated circuits
- Perform all aspects of the SoC design flow from high-level design synthesis to place and route, timing and power to create a design database that is ready for manufacturing.
- Analyze equipment to establish operation infrastructure, conduct experimental tests, and evaluate results.
- May also review vendor capability to support development
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills
- Project-based teamwork experience
- Object-oriented programming experience
- Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or equivalent
- Minimum of 10 years of experience in ASIC/SoC design and/or verification environment
- Very strong debugging and problem-solving skills supported by relevant experience
- Digital logic design and implementation in advanced technology nodes
- Working experience in UVM environment
- Languages: C, C++, Python, Java, Verilog (or VHDL), SystemVerilog
Preferred Qualifications:
- Leadership skills
- Familiarity with formal verification methods
- Familiarity with standard ASIC/SoC design flows including synthesis, DFT, STA, UPF, and ECO flows
- Experience in low-power design techniques
- Working knowledge of NVMe, PCIe, DDR and ARM standards
- Familiarity with big box emulation platforms
- Proven ability to architect and lead IP/SoC-level verification efforts
