Application Specific Integrated Circuit Engineer

About the job

Join a fabless semiconductors startup.

You will play a critical role in the design, development, and verification of the next-generation processor architectures, ensuring high performance, power efficiency, and reliability for advanced compute workloads.

What You'll Be Doing

• RTL Design & Microarchitecture
• Contribute to the microarchitecture and RTL design of ARM-based subsystems and cores.
• Verification & Validation
• Develop test plans, testbenches, and verification environments using Synopsys or Cadence toolchains.
• Execute block-level and system-level verification with UVM/SystemVerilog.
• Debug and resolve functional, timing, and power-related issues.
• Integrate third-party IPs and verify ARM-based cores in SoC environments.
• Work closely with backend teams to ensure smooth handoff to synthesis and PnR.
• Collaborate with architecture, DFT, and validation teams to ensure design completeness.

Requirements

B.Sc. or M.Sc. in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field.

At least 5 years of hands-on experience in VLSI frontend design.

Strong background in ARM-based processor cores (design, customization, or verification).

Proficiency in Synopsys or Cadence verification environments (e.g., VCS, Xcelium, JasperGold, Verdi).

Familiarity with SoC integration flows and debug.

Ability to work in a fast-paced, startup-like environment

Exposure to low-power design techniques and power intent (UPF/CPF)- an advantage
