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

Location: On-site in Canada

We're partnering with a leading global semiconductor company to find a Staff ASIC Design Engineer to help architect and develop next-gen AI/ML hardware IP. This role is ideal for someone who thrives in RTL design, micro-architecture development, and hardware integration , particularly in areas like clock domain crossing, power optimization, and formal verification.

Key Responsibilities:
  • Define micro-architecture and detailed specifications from high-level design requirements.

  • Develop performance-optimized RTL design (Verilog/SystemVerilog) with strong area and power efficiency.

  • Integrate sub-IP blocks into larger SoC components and subsystems.

  • Conduct Lint, CDC, and synthesis flow analysis.

  • Collaborate with verification teams to define test plans, debug regressions, and analyze coverage reports.

  • Create SVA assertions for white-box and formal verification.

  • Communicate effectively across cross-functional teams to ensure timely execution of deliverables.

What They're Looking For:
  • 5+ years of hands-on ASIC design experience (verification, RTL, integration, etc.).

  • Proficiency in Verilog/SystemVerilog, RTL design, and logic synthesis.

  • Experience with one or more of the following:

    • Clock/reset architecture, FIFOs, bus protocols (AHB/AXI), memory control

    • AI/ML hardware blocks

    • Power-aware design using UPF, CLP, PowerPro, etc.

    • CDC and lint tools (Spyglass, 0-in, SVA)

    • Synthesis and timing tools (Design Compiler, PrimeTime, Formality)

    • Simulation tools (VCS, Verdi, Questa, Xcelium)

    • Scripting in Python, Perl, TCL, or C

Required Education/Experience:
  • Bachelor's (with 5+ years), Master's (3+ years), or PhD (2+ years) in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field.

  • Legally authorized to work on-site in Canada.
