ASIC Design Engineer
$91,000 - $232,000 USD yearly
Originally posted 10 November 2026 by the employer.
About the role
This role supports semiconductor architecture, RTL and circuit design, integration, verification, performance, power, area, documentation, and product lifecycle within the Design Engineering team.
What you'll do
- Develop and sustain semiconductor architectures, RTL, circuits, IP, interfaces, subsystems, and design collateral.
- Translate product, system, performance, power, area, reliability, test, manufacturing, and schedule needs into design requirements and plans.
- Analyze specifications, simulations, timing, power, area, integration, defects, risks, dependencies, and technical tradeoffs.
- Debug design, simulation, integration, verification, implementation, and product issues, leading root-cause analysis within approved scope.
- Review requirements, architectures, RTL, circuits, models, constraints, results, changes, and release evidence for technical quality.
- Coordinate technical outcomes across architecture, design, verification, DFT, implementation, package, product, test, manufacturing, and CAD teams.
What you'll need
- Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Physics, or a related field.
- 12 or more years of relevant experience in semiconductor or electronic design, RTL, digital or mixed-signal circuits, architecture, simulation, synthesis, integration, or a closely related area.
- Experience maintaining specifications, design records, review evidence, configuration, and lifecycle documentation.
Nice to have
- Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Physics, or a related field.
- Experience with semiconductor, ASIC, SoC, FPGA, digital, analog, mixed-signal, memory, interface, or IP design.
- Experience with RTL, simulation, synthesis, timing, power, verification, scripting, EDA tools, or design automation.
- Experience with architecture, integration, design reviews, technical leadership, or product development.
