Job Description:

ASIC Chip Lead and Design Engineer to take ownership of the full chip development from architecture definition through to release to production. The right candidate will be someone with high aptitude who is currently hands on designing complex digital blocks, with strong knowledge/experience across the complete ASIC/SOC design flow. An ideal candidate will additionally have experience with radiation-hardened design, analog/mixed-signal design and EDA, and std-cell library development.

As an ASIC Chip Lead and Design Engineer, you will play a pivotal role in the development of custom-designed Application-Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs). Your expertise will span the entire chip design lifecycle, from conceptualization to implementation. You’ll collaborate with cross-functional teams, ensuring successful chip development while adhering to performance, power, and area targets.

Additional duties include the evaluation of customer requirements and estimates of effort/expenses for potential new business, and participation in identifying problems with and improvements to, internal design methodologies.

Essential Duties & Qualifications:

• Chip Architecture and Development:

- Lead the architectural design of ASICs based on high-level requirements and block diagrams.

- Collaborate with system architects to define chip functionality, interfaces, and performance targets.

- Develop detailed specifications for the chip’s components.

• RTL Design and Synthesis:

- Use Synopsys Design Compiler to create RTL (Register Transfer Level) designs.

- Optimize RTL code for area, power, and performance.

- Implement and verify complex digital blocks.

• Constraint Development:

- Develop timing constraints for the entire chip.

- Work closely with physical design teams to ensure successful place-and-route.

• RISC Processor Conformance:

- Constrain and verify RISC processors within the chip.

- Optimize processor performance and power efficiency.

• Physical Design Collaboration:

- Collaborate with physical design teams on floorplanning, placement, and routing.

- Address any design closure issues.

• Verification Support:

- Work with verification engineers to ensure functional correctness.

- Assist in creating testbenches and verifying the chip’s functionality.

• Modern revision-control tools and best-practices in a collaborative, multi-site design community

• Proficiency with UNIX/Linux incl. shell scripting, text utilities (e.g. sed, awk, grep), using Modules, high-level programming such as C/C++, PERL/Python/TCL scripting.

• Proficiency with Windows apps, incl. Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Visio, Project, PDF conversion

Qualifications :

• BSEE required, MSEE preferred or equivalent

• 10+ years of direct industry experience with ASIC and/or SoC design

• Proficiency in Synopsys Design Compiler and other EDA tools.

• Strong understanding of digital design principles.

• Familiarity with RISC architectures (e.g., ARM, MIPS).

• Excellent problem-solving skills and attention to detail.

• A strong background in RTL based digital IC design using Verilog/SystemVerilog

• Proven track record of first-pass successes

• A self-starter with the ability to assume leadership roles.

• Ability to work well in a diverse team environment.

• Willingness to mentor less senior engineers.

• Experience with industry standard development tools and methodologies. #J-18808-Ljbffr
