As a senior engineer in Broadcom’s ASIC Products Division, you will lead external and internal cross-functional teams through the entire lifecycle of complex chip designs, from initial RFQs to production. Your responsibilities include advising customers on best practices for EDA tools and design methodologies, proactively identifying risks to project schedules and quality standards, and executing physical design flows to ensure tape-out compliance with Broadcom’s stringent criteria. You will also collaborate across marketing, sales, legal, and regulatory teams to discuss chip developments and stay current with advancements in IPs and technology. Ideal candidates have extensive experience in multiple tape-outs at advanced technology nodes, expertise in low power design, physical design, STA, EDA tools, and scripting languages like TCL and shell. Knowledge of DFT methods is a plus.

What you'll do

  • Manage external customer ASIC programs from inception to finish.
  • Advise customers on EDA best practices and organize Q&A sessions with experts.
  • Proactively assess risks to design quality and project schedule, executing mitigation plans.
  • Execute physical design flows to ensure tape-out netlists meet stringent standards.
  • Stay updated on Broadcom IPs, technology, and end-user applications developments.

What we're looking for

  • Extensive experience in multiple tape-outs at advanced technology nodes.
  • Proficiency in physical design, STA, EDA tools, and scripting languages like TCL and shell.
  • Expertise in analyzing PPA tradeoffs among library components and architectures.
  • Strong knowledge of low power design and power management techniques.
  • Ability to lead cross-functional teams and manage customer ASIC programs from inception to production.
  • Experience in DFT methods including scan, memory BIST, and repair (preferred).
  • Bachelor’s degree with 12+ years or Master’s degree with 10+ years of relevant experience.
