We are seeking a experienced and visionary Principal ASIC Engineer to lead our next-generation silicon development. In this high-impact technical leadership role, you will own the full-flow ASIC development lifecycle, driving projects from initial architectural concepts and RTL design down to physical sign-off and silicon bring-up.

The ideal candidate possesses deep expertise across both front-end design and back-end implementation, serving as a strategic authority who bridges the gap between hardware architecture, microarchitecture, and complex physical layout constraints.

Key Responsibilities

Technical Leadership and Strategy

• Define, establish, and optimize cutting-edge ASIC design methodologies and full-flow architectures across the organization.
• Act as the chief technical authority to align cross-functional domains including Architecture, RTL Design, Verification, and Physical Design.
• Provide expert guidance on complex engineering trade-offs evaluating Power, Performance, and Area (PPA).

Front-End Design and Architecture

• Translate complex system-level product requirements into functional SoC/ASIC microarchitectures.
• Write high-quality, scalable, and synthesizable hardware description code using SystemVerilog/Verilog.
• Collaborate closely with Design Verification (DV) teams to review test plans and implement advanced Design for Testability (DFT) structures

Back-End and Physical Implementation

• Drive full chip-level and block-level execution through synthesis, floorplanning, and automated Place and Route (PandR) flows.
• Formulate and sign off on rigorous Timing Constraints and execute deep Static Timing Analysis (STA) to resolve setup/hold violations.
• Oversee structural physical verification including DRC, LVS, and ERC checks to guarantee tape-out readiness.
