ASIC Engineer, Implementation

Meta; Bengaluru; On-site; INR 1,800,000 - 3,200,000; Full time

Job summary

Meta is seeking an ASIC Implementation Engineer to contribute to physical implementation of complex custom ASICs from RTL through tape-out, in the Infrastructure Silicon team. You will work across synthesis, place-and-route, timing closure, and signoff to deliver high-performance, power-efficient silicon for data center infrastructure.

The role involves collaborating with design, architecture, and verification teams, running Synthesis/STA tasks, and developing automation for FE tools.

Qualifications

• 2+ years of experience as a Front-End Synthesis & Integration Engineer.
• Experience with RTL synthesis and design optimization for power, performance, and area.
• Knowledge of front-end and back-end ASIC tools.
• Experience with RTL design using SystemVerilog or other HDL.
• Experience managing multiple design releases and working with cross-functional teams to support and debug timing, area, and power issues.
• Experience with communicating across functional internal teams and vendors.

Responsibilities

• Run Logic/Physical Synthesis and generate an optimized Gate Level Netlist for Timing, Area, and Power.
• Debug timing/area/congestion issues with RTL and physical designers.
• Perform power estimation at RTL and gate level; identify power reduction opportunities.
• Run Formal Verification checks between RTL and gate-level netlist; debug aborts and logic equivalency failures.
• Perform RTL Lint and collaborate with designers to create waivers.
• Perform RTL DFT analysis and improve DFT coverage for stuck-at faults.
• Develop timing constraints for RTL synthesis and PrimeTime-STA for blocks and top-level including SoC.
• Analyze inter-block timing and establish I/O budgets for partition blocks.
• Develop automation scripts and tool flows for FE tools (Lint, CDC, RDC, Synthesis, STA, Power).
• Collaborate with design engineers, DV engineers, and emulation engineers to support handoff tasks.
• Interact with Physical Design Engineers and provide timing/congestion feedback.
