ASIC Design Engineer

UK Based Start-Up offering company share options and a base salary of up to £100,000 DOE.

Cambridge or UK Remote: You must be currently living and working in the UK and able to do so without restrictions.

This is a fantastic opportunity to join a start-up who are just over 2 years old, as they make technological breakthroughs in security with a product line built on CHERI technology and RISC‐V cores.

They have strong funding behind them and a leadership team made up of experts in processor design and formal methods as well as a CEO who brings over 30 years of semiconductor experience from world renown companies and start-ups. With huge growth plans across the Silicon Design team this is a fantastic time to join the business!

I am seeking an Engineer who has experience in the full ASIC flow.

Ideally you will have experience in end-to-end ASIC development, from RTL through to GDSII, including synthesis, DFT, floorplanning, place and route, static timing analysis, and tapeout support. This is a hands-on technical role, ideal for someone with a deep understanding of digital design and physical implementation, and a passion for building cutting-edge silicon.

Responsibilities

• Collaborates with cross-functional teams to define and implement ASIC architectures
• Designs and develops RTL code using SystemVerilog and Verilog
• Conducts design verification and ensures compliance with specifications
• Participates in the integration and testing of ASICs
• Contributes to the improvement of design methodologies and processes
• Intgrate IPs, define constraints, and ensure timing, area, and power goals are met.
• Work closely with RTL, verification, and DFT teams to ensure robust handoffs and convergence

Qualifications

• Holds a Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering or related field
• Demonstrates a solid understanding of ASIC design principles and methodologies
• Proficient in SystemVerilog, Verilog, and RTL Design
• Possesses familiarity with security-related applications and protocols, which is a plus
• Exhibits strong problem-solving skills and attention to detail
• Day-to-day
• Collaborating with other engineers and cross-functional teams to define project requirements
• Writing RTL code and conducting design verification
• Participating in design reviews and providing input to improve ASIC design methodologies
• Contributing to the development of innovative solutions in the field of security
