We are looking for an ASIC Engineer to join our dynamic team in the development of cutting-edge application-specific integrated circuits. As an ASIC Engineer, you will be responsible for designing, verifying, and implementing complex digital and mixed-signal integrated circuits that power a wide range of electronic devices, from consumer electronics to telecommunications infrastructure and automotive systems. Your role will involve collaborating with cross-functional teams, including system architects, software engineers, and hardware designers, to ensure that ASIC solutions meet performance, power, and area requirements. You will participate in the entire ASIC development lifecycle, from initial concept and architecture definition through RTL design, verification, synthesis, physical design, and silicon validation. Key responsibilities include writing and optimizing RTL code (using languages such as Verilog or VHDL), developing testbenches, running simulations, and debugging issues at both the design and silicon levels. You will also work closely with EDA tool vendors and foundries to ensure successful tape-out and manufacturing of ASICs. The ideal candidate will have a strong background in digital logic design, familiarity with ASIC design flows, and experience with industry-standard EDA tools. Attention to detail, problem-solving skills, and the ability to work in a fast-paced, collaborative environment are essential. This position offers the opportunity to work on innovative projects that have a significant impact on next-generation technology products.
