Our Southern California AI/ML Startup Client is seeking a Senior SoC/ASIC Design Engineer to lead the digital design efforts of their custom IP and SoC designs. The Senior SoC/ASIC Design Engineer will work with team members to design and develop digital modules from concept stage to tape out and/or FPGA release. This position will be part of our Hardware Development group. The Senior SoC/ASIC Design Engineer needs to be able to start from a product requirement specification, develop a feasible micro-architecture, implement the function using RTL language, chip verification, and chip tape out.
Responsibilities:
- Lead in chip specification and micro-architecture.
- Understand product requirements, gather the relevant information, and develop a solution.
- Use RTL language to design the digital functional modules.
- Mentor junior-level ASIC Design Engineers.
- Program, debug, and build the FPGA for system verification.
- Use simulation tools to check the functionalities of the designs in RTL and gate level.
- Collaborate with other team members to define a verification methodology and a test plan
- Write clear documentation of the designs.
Requirements:
- BS/MS in Electrical Engineering or Computer Engineering or related experience
- 10+ years of experience in digital logic design from specification/micro-architecture to tape out.
- Good understanding of modern computational architectures.
- Fluent in Verilog and System Verilog
- Knowledge of CPU and SRAM based SoC components system busses (AHB, AXI, APB) is required.
- Knowledge of standard SoC interfaces (SPI, I2C) and high-speed IO protocols (PCIe, USB, DDR) is required.
- Good skills in Python and shell scripting are desired
- Good debugging skills, and well experienced with VCS/Verdi or similar toolsets.
Salary Range:
- $185K – $300K
- Startup Equity (Stock Options)
Relocation and Visa Requirements:
- Strongly prefer candidates that reside in the Southern California Area.
- Will provide relocation assistance to the right candidate (that resides in the United States).
- Will transfer H1-B Visa to candidates (that resides in the United States).
- All candidates MUST reside in the United States.
