TL;DR · Design Engineer

Join Broadcom’s Custom Silicon Design Team as a Design Engineer, contributing to the physical implementation of high-performance ASICs for AI, Cellular, Networking, Computing, and Storage products. You will work on large-scale designs using advanced 3 nm process nodes, supporting activities like floorplanning, placement, clock tree synthesis, routing, timing closure, and verification with commercial EDA tools such as Cadence Innovus and Synopsys ICC2. Collaborate closely with cross-functional teams to improve design flows, automate processes, and ensure successful silicon bring-up from RTL to GDSII. Proficiency in UNIX/Linux environments, TCL scripting, and familiarity with Python or Perl is essential, along with a solid understanding of VLSI design principles and digital circuit fundamentals.

What you'll do

  • Contribute to the physical design implementation of large-scale ASICs with multi-hundred-million gate complexity.
  • Support floorplanning, placement, clock tree synthesis, routing, timing closure, and physical verification activities.
  • Utilize commercial and in-house EDA tools for design, implementation, and verification processes.
  • Assist in timing analysis, power planning, IR/EM checks, and post-route optimization tasks.
  • Collaborate on block-level integration, timing analysis, and design signoff with cross-functional teams.

What we're looking for

  • Extensive experience with physical design implementation of large-scale ASICs (multi-hundred-million gate complexity).
  • Proficiency in using commercial EDA tools such as Cadence Innovus and Synopsys ICC2 for design and verification.
  • Strong background in VLSI design, CMOS logic, digital circuit fundamentals, and ASIC physical design concepts.
  • Solid analytical skills with the ability to quickly learn new tools and flows for timing analysis and power planning.
  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical or Electronics Engineering required.
  • Excellent communication and collaboration skills for working effectively in cross-functional teams.
