Job Description

We are seeking talented and motivated individuals to tackle challenging engineering problems in advanced digital IC design. As a Principal Digital ASIC Designer, you will be responsible for designing high-performance digital ASICs in advanced technologies. You will be responsible for implementing designs from RTL through synthesis. You will work in multi-disciplinary teams with opportunities to learn, grow and contribute to a variety of projects in different application areas. Job Description: Duties/Responsibilities • Design and simulate circuits at transistor-level to implement architecture and requirement specifications • Contribute to system-level design • Optimize hardware designs for performance, power, and cost • Evaluate the hardware feasibility of complex algorithms and requirements • Independently contribute to complex chip architectures and designs • Independently drive solutions to complex problems - develop requirements, propose ways forward when customer requirements are unclear or incomplete, and adapt appropriately to changes in requirements • Contribute to business development and proposal activities • Develop, document, and teach best practices to less experienced engineers • Perform or guide physical layout, including floor-planning, and simulate circuits using extracted parasitics, contribute to design-for-test development. • Perform other duties as assigned Skills/Abilities • Proficiency in integrated circuit design • Understanding of integrated circuits, semiconductors, and general computer architecture • Ability to write detailed design specifications • Ability to lead multi-disciplinary technical teams • Excellent verbal and written communication skills • Excellent mathematical skills • Excellent organizational skills and attention to detail • Excellent time management skills with the proven ability to meet deadlines • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills • Ability to prioritize tasks • Demonstrate strong organization, planning, and time management skills to achieve program goals Education Requires a bachelor's degree in Engineering, or related field. Masters degree preferred. Experience Requires 7-10 years of experience with a bachelor's degree, or 5-10 years of experience with a master's degree in ASIC Hardware Engineering or related. Preferred Qualifications: • Experience with low power circuit design • Experience with CMOS advanced nodes below 32nm • Experience with radiation-hardened electronics Additional Job Description: • Applicants should possess solid skills in front-end digital systems design with experience in design flows from Cadence or Synopsys. • Be fluent in System Verilog, Verilog or VHDL and familiar with LINT, simulation and synthesis. • Familiarity with architectures for secure systems design, e.g., cryptographic encoders / decoders or tagged processor architectures is a plus. • Demonstrated experience with successful tape-outs at advanced nodes is desired. Experience leading and managing design teams is also desired. Applicants selected for this position will be required to obtain and maintain a U.S. Security Clearance.
