Digital IC Engineer
Company Overview
An IC design start-up founded by senior experts from Huawei and IBM, with a strong record in wireless IC development and mass production. We develop advanced wireless ICs including UWB, BLE, NB-IoT, and WiFi6 technologies.
Job Summary
You will lead the design and silicon verification of digital ASIC functional blocks and subsystems, supporting pre-silicon firmware development through prototyping and co-development activities.
Responsibilities
- Design and verify digital ASIC functional blocks and subsystems from RTL coding through silicon validation to ensure performance and reliability
- Develop and execute RTL and gate-level verification to validate design correctness and functionality
- Create and maintain synthesis scripts and optimize timing, power, and area using SDC and UPF constraint files
- Prototype ASIC designs in FPGA or software models to support pre-silicon firmware development and verification efforts
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams to integrate design components and support product development lifecycle
- Apply UVM verification methodology to enhance verification coverage and efficiency
- Utilize Synopsys and Cadence EDA tools for simulation, synthesis, timing analysis, formal verification, and assertion-based verification
- Program and debug using Verilog, SystemVerilog, Python, Perl, C, and C++ to support design and verification tasks
- Apply deep knowledge of ARM and RISC-V microprocessor subsystems to optimize design integration and performance
Preferred competencies and qualifications
- BS or MS degree in electrical engineering or equivalent with at least 3 years of IC design experience
- Familiarity with digital ASIC/SoC design flow from RTL to silicon characterization
- Knowledge of digital circuit design, embedded system design, verification, and product development lifecycle
