Our client is looking for a
Senior ASIC/VLSI Synthesis and Design Engineer
to drive the development of high-performance, low-power digital designs for cutting-edge ASICs and SoCs. This role involves optimising power, performance, and area while ensuring timing closure, gate-level simulation, and post-silicon validation. You will collaborate with cross-functional teams to implement synthesis methodologies, constraint development, DFT integration, and power analysis.

If you have a strong background in ASIC/VLSI design, with deep expertise in synthesis, timing closure, DFT, and post-silicon debug, we want to hear from you.

What you need / Qualifications:

  • Bachelor's degree with 8+ years of experience, or Master's degree with 6+ years of experience in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Information Technology or a related technical field.
  • 5-8+ years of ASIC/VLSI design experience, focusing on synthesis and timing closure for large-scale design in deep submicron technology.
  • Expertise in Verilog/SystemVerilog RTL coding and constraint development for synthesis.
  • Proficiency in synthesis tools from leading EDA vendors (Cadence, Synopsys, Mentor).
  • Experience with gate-level simulation, static timing analysis (STA), and power-aware synthesis.
  • Strong post-silicon debug and validation skills, including production bring-up and failure analysis.
  • Proficiency in scripting languages (Tcl, Perl, Python) for automation and flow optimisation.
  • Strong problem-solving, debugging, and collaboration skills in a fast-paced environment.

What you'll do:

  • Lead the design, synthesis, and implementation of high-performance, low-power digital circuits for advanced ASIC and SoC products.
  • Develop and optimise RTL-level designs using Verilog/SystemVerilog to achieve performance, power, and area (PPA) targets.
  • Perform synthesis, timing closure, and constraint development using industry-standard EDA tools (Synopsys, Cadence, Mentor).
  • Conduct static timing analysis (STA) and gate-level simulations to ensure functional and timing integrity across all design stages.
  • Collaborate closely with architecture, verification, and physical design teams to define design methodologies and resolve timing and functional issues.
  • Drive power-aware synthesis and optimisation, ensuring compliance with power budgets and low-power design techniques.
  • Integrate and verify Design-for-Test (DFT) features, working with DFT engineers to ensure testability and robust silicon performance.
  • Support post-silicon validation and debug, including bring-up, failure analysis, and correlation between pre-silicon and silicon behaviour.
  • Develop and maintain automation scripts and flows (Tcl, Perl, Python) to streamline synthesis and verification processes.
  • Participate in design reviews, provide technical guidance to junior engineers, and contribute to continuous process improvement initiatives.
