• Strong knowledge of digital circuits and event-driven simulators
• Knowledgeable with Perl, Python, TCL, tcsh, and GNU Make
• Strong communication skills (written and verbal) to convey complex information to peers.
• Detailed oriented and be able to plan and prioritize tasks effectively.

Principal Duties & Responsibilities:

• Contribute to feature, core and sub-system verification during the design and development phase of next generation ASICs through C/RTL and Gate Level simulations.
• Work closely with the design team to define verification requirements to ensure functional, performance and power correctness.
• Participate in test plan development, execution and verification closure.
• Contribute to creating/maintaining test benches, assertions, and functional coverage models.
• Contribute to implementing flows to automate development processes.
• Participate in debug activities throughout the development cycle.
• Applies ASIC knowledge and experience to define, model, design (digital and/or analog), optimize, verify, validate, implement, and document IP (block/SoC) development for a variety of high performance, high quality, low power products.
• Creates architectures, circuit specifications, logic designs, and/or system simulations based on system-level requirements.
• Collaborates across teams (e.g., software architecture, hardware architecture) to develop and execute an implementation strategy that meets system requirements and customer needs.
• Evaluates all aspects of process flow from high-level design to synthesis, place and route, timing and power use, and verification or similarly for custom circuit design/layout flow.
• Utilizes tools/applications (e.g., RTL to GDS Flow, Virtuoso) to execute and enable architecture and design of an individual block/SoC or IC Package.
• Writes detailed technical documentation for EDA/IP/ASIC projects.

Minimum Qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree in Science, Engineering, or related field and 4+ years of ASIC design, verification, validation, integration, or related work experience.
