Job Description

As a design-focused ASIC engineer, you will perform logic design, implementation and documentation for the SoC (System on a Chip) development.  You will collaborate with other functional teams to determine the micro-architecture, logic design and system simulation for the SoC development as well as define module interfaces/formats based on system requirements and customer feature requests.  A design-focused ASIC engineer will: 

• Perform logic design for the integration of cell libraries, functional units and sub-systems into SoC full chip designs 
• Perform Register Transfer Level (RTL) design and simulation for SoCs 
• Contribute to the development of multidimensional designs involving the layout of complex integrated circuits 
• Perform all aspects of the SoC design flow from high-level design synthesis to place and route, timing and power to create a design database that is ready for manufacturing.  
• Analyze equipment to establish operation infrastructure, conduct experimental tests, and evaluate results.  
• May also review vendor capability to support development 

Qualifications

Minimum Qualifications: 

• Excellent written and verbal communication skills 
• Project-based teamwork experience
