TL;DR · SOC Design Verification Engineer

The SOC Design Verification Engineer joins the ASICS Engineering team to support the development of high-performance, low-power IP blocks and SoCs. In this role, the engineer assists in defining, modeling, designing, optimizing, verifying, validating, implementing, and documenting various products. Day-to-day responsibilities include creating architectures, circuit specifications, logic designs, and system simulations based on specific requirements. The candidate will also evaluate process flows from high-level design to synthesis, place and route, timing, and power use. To execute these tasks, the engineer utilizes tools such as Virtuoso and RTL to GDS Flow while writing technical documentation for EDA, IP, and ASIC projects. Required skills include experience with architecture and design tools, scripting tools, programming languages, and established design verification methods to solve complex hardware integration and implementation challenges.

What you'll do

  • Define, model, design, optimize, verify, and document IP block and SoC development for high-performance products.
  • Create architectures, circuit specifications, logic designs, and system simulations based on system-level requirements.
  • Develop implementation strategies that meet specific system requirements and customer needs.
  • Evaluate process flows from high-level design through synthesis, place and route, timing, and power usage.
  • Use tools like RTL to GDS Flow and Virtuoso to execute the architecture of specific blocks or IC packages.
  • Write technical documentation for EDA, IP, and ASIC projects.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor's degree in Science, Engineering, or a related field.
  • Master's degree in Electrical/Electronic Engineering, Computer Engineering, or Computer Science (preferred).
  • 6+ months of experience with architecture and design tools (preferred).
  • 6+ months of experience with scripting tools and programming languages (preferred).
  • 6+ months of experience with design verification methods (preferred).
