Job Description Role Overview:
n As an ASIC Design Engineer, you will play a key role in microarchitecture definition, RTL design, and implementation of high-speed interface IPs. You will collaborate with cross-functional teams to deliver high-performance, power-efficient, and scalable silicon solutions.
n Key Responsibilities:
n n Experience 10+yrs , Bangalore location
n Architect and design high-performance ASIC SoCs, targeting high-speed protocols such as PCIe Gen4/5, 100G/400G Ethernet, USB3/4, SerDes-based interfaces.
n Develop RTL using Verilog/System Verilog with a focus on performance, power, and area (PPA) optimization
n Define and document micro-architecture and interface specifications for protocol IPs
n Collaborate with verification teams to develop test plans, debug failures, and achieve coverage closure
n Work closely with physical design teams on synthesis, timing closure, and floor planning support
n Analyze and debug silicon bring-up issues related to high-speed interfaces
n Integrate third-party IPs (SerDes, PHYs) and ensure proper functionality and interoperability




n Participate in design reviews and ensure adherence to design methodologies and best practices
n Drive design quality through lint, CDC, and verification readiness checks
n n Required Skills:
n n Strong experience in RTL design using Verilog/System Verilog.
n Deep understanding of high-speed protocols, such as: PCIe (Gen4/Gen5), Ethernet (100G/400G), USB (USB3/USB4), SerDes-based architectures.
n Solid background in microarchitecture design and trade-off analysis
n Experience in SoC integration and subsystem design
n Positive knowledge of synthesis, STA, and physical design considerations
n n Good to Have:
n n Experience in silicon bring-up and post-silicon debug
n Exposure to advanced technology nodes and high-frequency designs
n Scripting skills (Python/Perl/Shell) for automation
n n What We're Looking For:
n n Strong debugging and analytical skills
n Ability to work across cross-functional teams
n Ownership mindset and attention to detail
n Passion for building high-performance silicon
