As an ASIC Design Engineer, the individual’s primary responsibility will be RTL design. This will include chip architecture definition, block/function definition, specification, design, simulation and unit level verification of digital functions on Mixed Signal ASICs.
Key Qualifications
- Proven track-record in digital design including RTL design experience
- Strong understanding of digital design flow including RTL simulation, logic synthesis, timing constraints, timing closure, STA, back annotation of parasitics, gate level simulation, equivalence checking
- Defining methodology and creating infrastructure to support FPGA based prototyping
- Flow automation scripts using Perl/Python, Tcl, and shell scripts
- Experience in Low Power is desired
- Power user of industry standard RTL Design & Synthesis tools. Knowledge of Extraction and STA methodology and tools
- Knowledge of best practices with respect to implementation of digital logic
- Experience in DisplayPort or DSP is preferred
- Understanding of Design Verification and the ability to write self-checking test suites
- Experience in hands-on lab evaluation and silicon bringup
- Understanding of ASIC test methodology such as scan insertion, memory BIST and test pattern generation
Description
-Work with system and architecture teams to understand the top level requirements of the digital functions and develop detailed specifications
-Implement the function in Verilog RTL to specification Perform unit level testing on the RTL function
-Support the DV team by writing self-checking tests as required
-Support all design integration activities like Lint, CDC, Synthesis & ECO
-Work with Physical Design Team on STA, physical, power and logical issues
