Senior ASIC Design Engineer

Role Overview

We seek an experienced Senior ASIC Design Engineer to join our expanding team in Singapore. The position centers on designing cutting-edge AI chips featuring a groundbreaking architecture. The engineer will collaborate closely with verification, front-end, and software teams to deliver superior digital integrated circuit (IC) products.

Key Responsibilities

• Design micro-architecture and write RTL code for AI computing subsystems.
• Perform analysis of performance, power consumption, and area to ensure high-efficiency compute solutions meet stringent cost and energy constraints.
• Contribute to the RTL design of System-on-Chip (SoC) elements and facilitate integration of IP cores.
• Support overall chip system design efforts, including managing clock and reset frameworks, implementing low-power design techniques, and architecting bus systems.
• Work alongside verification and testing teams to validate designs at both module and system levels.
• Assist front-end engineers in delivering netlists and addressing timing-related issues.
• Provide support for driver development, debugging processes, and maintain thorough technical documentation.

Required Qualifications and Skills

• Bachelor’s degree or above in Electrical Engineering or a related discipline.
• At least 3 years of experience in digital IC or ASIC design roles.
• Strong foundation in digital circuit theory and proficiency in Verilog HDL coding.
• Knowledge of ASIC design flow and experience with electronic design automation (EDA) tools such as Synopsys and Cadence.
• Understanding of CPU and cache architectures, instruction set architectures (ISA), and compiler fundamentals.
• Familiarity with bus architectures, direct memory access (DMA), and peripheral interface design principles.
• Awareness of techniques for low-power circuit design.

Preferred Skills and Attributes

• Experience with common bus protocols including AMBA, AXI, AHB, and APB.
• Exposure to synthesis, timing analysis, and design for testability (DFT) concepts.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving abilities combined with willingness to learn and contribute in a team environment.
• Excellent communication skills and capability to prepare clear and comprehensive technical documentation.
