Senior Digital ASIC Design Engineer - Secret clearance required

Job description:

YOU MUST BE A US CITIZEN & MUST HAVE AN ACTIVE SECRET CLEARANCE

A Senior ASIC Hardware Engineer specifies, designs, verifies, tests, and documents Application-Specific Integrated Circuits.

The engineer develops the architecture, designs circuits and/or HDL, performs simulations, performs physical layout, verifies and tests designs.

Job Description:

Duties/Responsibilities

Design and simulate circuits at transistor-level to implement architecture and requirement specifications

Contribute to system-level design

Optimize hardware designs for performance, power, and cost

Evaluate the hardware feasibility of complex algorithms and requirements

Independently contribute to complex chip architectures and designs

Independently drive solutions to complex problems - develop requirements, propose ways forward when customer requirements are unclear or incomplete, and adapt appropriately to changes in requirements

Contribute to business development and proposal activities

Develop, document, and teach best practices to less experienced engineers

Perform or guide physical layout, including floor-planning, and simulate circuits using extracted parasitics.

Perform other duties as assigned

Skills/Abilities

Proficiency in integrated circuit design

Understanding of integrated circuits, semiconductors, and general computer architecture

Ability to write detailed design specifications

Ability to manage small technical teams

Excellent verbal and written communication skills

Excellent mathematical skills

Excellent organizational skills and attention to detail

Excellent time management skills with the proven ability to meet deadlines

Strong analytical and problem-solving skills

Ability to prioritize tasks

Demonstrate strong organization, planning, and time management skills to achieve program goals

Education

Requires a bachelor's degree in Engineering, or related field. Masters degree preferred.

Experience

Requires 5-7 years of experience with a bachelor's degree, or 3-5 years of experience with a master's degree, or 0-2 years of experience with a PhD in ASIC Hardware Engineering or related.

Additional Job Description:

Applicants should possess solid skills in front-end digital systems design with experience in design flows from Cadence or Synopsys.

Be fluent in SystemVerilog, Verilog or VHDL and familiar with LINT, simulation and synthesis.

Familiarity with architectures for secure systems design, e.g., cryptographic encoders / decoders or tagged processor architectures is a plus.

Demonstrated experience with successful tape-outs at advanced nodes is desired. Experience leading and managing design teams is also desired.

Applicants selected for this position will be required to obtain and maintain a government security clearance.
