Position: Senior Staff ASIC Design Engineer – AI/ML Hardware IP

Location: On-site in Canada

We're working with a global semiconductor leader to hire a Senior Staff ASIC Design Engineer focused on developing cutting-edge AI/ML hardware IP. This role is designed for a senior contributor who can lead architecture definition, RTL development, and integration across complex SoC designs. You'll work cross-functionally to optimize performance, area, power, and verification coverage in highly scalable AI/ML systems.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Define and implement micro-architecture based on high-level AI/ML design requirements.

  • Own RTL development (Verilog/SystemVerilog), optimizing for performance, area, and power.

  • Integrate multiple sub-IP blocks into cohesive larger systems.

  • Drive Linting, CDC, Synthesis, and Power Intent flow execution and analysis.

  • Partner closely with verification teams on test plans, debug, and functional coverage.

  • Develop SVA assertions to support formal and white-box verification strategies.

  • Influence and lead cross-functional execution, promoting best practices in design and integration.

Ideal Experience & Skills:

  • 6+ years of ASIC design, RTL, and integration experience (or equivalent: Master's + 5, PhD + 4).

  • Advanced RTL design skills, especially in Verilog/SystemVerilog.

  • Demonstrated ownership of complex SoC blocks or subsystems.

  • Strong background in:

    • Clock/reset architecture, FIFOs, memory control

    • Power-aware design and low-power optimization (UPF, CLP, PowerPro)

    • Bus protocols (AHB, AXI)

    • AI/ML-specific hardware acceleration blocks

  • Deep toolchain knowledge:

    • Simulation (VCS, Verdi, Questa, Xcelium)

    • CDC/lint/formal tools (Spyglass, 0-in, Formality)

    • Synthesis/timing (DCG/NXT, Primetime)

  • Scripting experience (Python, Perl, TCL, C) to support design automation.

Education & Work Authorization:

  • Bachelor's, Master's, or PhD in Electrical Engineering or related field.

  • Must be legally authorized to work on-site in Canada.
