senior ic design engineer.

• Lead the end-to-end design of integrated circuits (ICs), from conceptual design to silicon implementation, for various applications such as [automotive, consumer electronics, communications, etc.].
• Collaborate with system architects and cross-functional teams to define IC specifications and requirements.
• Perform RTL design and coding using hardware description languages such as VHDL or Verilog.
• Conduct functional verification of IC designs, including simulation and debugging using tools like ModelSim, Questa, or similar platforms.
• Work closely with Physical Design Engineers to ensure that the design meets performance, area, and power goals, and resolve any layout-related issues.
• Optimize IC designs for timing, power, and area, ensuring that all design objectives are met.
• Lead design reviews, providing guidance and mentorship to junior engineers.
• Engage in static timing analysis (STA), formal verification, and power analysis to ensure that designs are robust and meet performance targets.
• Work with the DFT (Design for Testability) team to implement and verify test structures.
• Manage tape-out processes, collaborating with fabrication foundries to ensure successful silicon realization.

skills and experiences required :

• Alteast 8 years of hands-on experience in IC design, with a proven track record of successful tape-outs.
• Strong expertise in digital design or analog/mixed-signal IC design.
• Proficient in RTL design using VHDL/Verilog and simulation tools like ModelSim, Questa, or NC-Sim.
• Solid understanding of semiconductor physics, CMOS technology, and sub-micron design processes.
