- Develop high-performance designs/ASICs from specification to tape-out
- Define architecture/micro-architecture and write specifications
- Implement complex RTL designs to meet timing and performance requirements
- Define, evolve, and support design methodology
- Mentor junior engineers and colleagues
- Collaborate with verification, PD, DFT, package, and software teams
- Perform diagnostic and post-silicon validation tests in the lab
- Work with hardware and software teams to triage and root cause failures
- Participate in design and code reviews
- Scope third-party IP requirements and solicit vendors
- Analyze code coverage and provide feedback for coverage closure
- Perform lint and CDC checks
- Build timing constraints for synthesis and STA
- Work closely with the physical design team to resolve design timing and place-and-route issues

ASIC verification role
- Develop test plans, cover points, and qualification tests
- Perform end-to-end verification of design blocks and top-level
- Build and maintain block, cluster, and top-level DV environment infrastructure




- Construct testbenches components like scoreboard, agents, sequencers, and monitors
- Write tests, debug regressions, and drive to module verification closure
- Collaborate with designers and verification engineers for cross-block verification
- Upgrade configuration/reset sequences (APIs)
