TL;DR · Senior ASIC Digital Design Engineer

As a Senior ASIC Digital Design Engineer, you will join a high-performing team to take ownership of critical design tasks throughout the full ASIC and FPGA lifecycle. You will develop RTL with a focus on bus fabric integrity, clock domain crossings, and reset order-of-operations while ensuring correctness through rigorous simulation and formal verification. Your daily responsibilities include contributing to timing closure via synthesis and static timing analysis, participating in JIRA triage, performing code reviews, and supporting program planning and technology evaluations. The role requires expertise in RTL design, microarchitecture, CDC analysis, and power analysis basics using industry-standard EDA tools for synthesis and simulation. You will work within structured environments involving formal verification processes to solve complex hardware problems, potentially utilizing FinFET process nodes and commercial foundry flows to ensure reliable silicon results.

What you'll do

  • Develop RTL with a focus on bus fabric integrity, clock domain crossings, reset order-of-operations, and design-for-verification.
  • Resolve timing failures by working through synthesis, place and route, and static timing analysis.
  • Execute test and simulation plans in coordination with a dedicated verification team to drive functional closure.
  • Participate in RTL code reviews to provide and receive constructive technical feedback.
  • Manage the project backlog by triaging issues and maintaining an accurate status in JIRA.
  • Provide technical input on scope, level of effort, and schedule risks for program planning and proposals.
  • Evaluate foundry technologies, device libraries, IP cores, and EDA tooling.

What we're looking for

  • U.S. citizenship is required.
  • Ability to obtain a Department of Defense Secret security clearance is required.
  • Bachelor's degree in Electrical or Computer Engineering, or a related STEM field, with 5+ years of experience; or a Master's degree plus 3 years of experience.
  • 5+ years of ASIC/FPGA design experience as an RTL designer.
  • Experience working in large, structured design teams with formal verification processes and independent verification partners.
  • Working knowledge of RTL design, microarchitecture, bus fabric, clock domain crossing (CDC), reset sequencing, timing closure, and power analysis.
  • Familiarity with industry-standard EDA tools for synthesis, simulation, formal verification, and STA.
  • Experience contributing to ASIC tape-out efforts (preferred); familiarity with FinFET process nodes (7nm, 5nm) (preferred).
