About the Job

We are seeking a highly skilled Custom ASIC Designer to develop digital designs for custom IC integration, including writing IP design specifications, coding Verilog and SystemVerilog models for simulation, synthesis, and static timing analysis, creating testbenches, and writing automated build scripts for simulation and verification.

You will play a significant role in a highly skilled team, prioritizing activities, balancing long and short-term objectives, and finding efficient ways to solve problems.

Main Responsibilities

Develop digital designs for custom IC integration, including writing IP design specifications and coding Verilog and SystemVerilog models for simulation, synthesis, and static timing analysis, creating testbenches, and writing automated build scripts for simulation and verification.

Build automated pre-silicon verification environments before sign-off and support the development of embedded firmware during the early phases of a silicon development project. The role requires integrating and partitioning both in-house designs and IP from third parties, wrapping with modeling logic to represent mixed signal design elements in the wider system.

Help validate new silicon chips by engineering tests that can be used to check the correct operation of custom silicon both in terms of electrical performance and functionality.

What You'll Need
  • 8+ years of relevant experience in digital custom IC design development is preferable.
  • Degree in computer science/electronic engineering or equivalent.
  • Proven record in digital IC design and verification for ASIC implementation.
  • Strong RTL coding skills in Verilog and SystemVerilog with the ability to write testbenches for simulation.
  • Good knowledge of clock and reset scheme and power domain structure and integration.
  • Good knowledge of industry-standard interface technology (I2C, SPI, UART, SWD, JTAG, etc).
  • Good knowledge of on-chip bus protocol (AMBA AHB, APB, AXI-Stream, etc).
  • Experience in digital IC design backend flow synthesis, STA, test insertion, MBIST, formality, GDS layout, etc.
  • Experience in EDA tools for custom IC development like Siemens Questa for simulation and verification, Synopsys VCS, Synopsys DesignCompiler for synthesis and STA, Spyglass for linting, DFT, etc.
  • Experience in writing IP design specifications and block-level modules.
  • Experience in an embedded flash integration for SoC.
  • Good knowledge of UVM, SVA, VIP, and UPF for digital IC design verification.
  • Familiarity with Linux OS, revision control like Git, and scripting languages like Bash, Tcl, and Python.
Benefits

We offer a competitive salary package, dependent on relevant academic and industrial experience, travel opportunities, free breakfast cereals, fresh fruit, tea, and freshly ground coffee daily, cycle to work scheme, regular social and team events, shower facilities, private health insurance, life insurance, and 25 holidays plus public holidays (total of 33 days a year). Salary: £60,000 - £80,000 per annum + benefits.
