Senior Custom ASIC Engineering Lead

Job Description

Are you a versatile, senior engineer capable of leading external and internal cross‑functional teams in areas such as physical design, STA, DFT, and packaging? Have you taped out so many chips that you can identify potential design problems hidden in EDA reports, advise design teams on how to fix them, and then publish an application note about avoiding them in future?

Do you love technical‑deep‑dive with engineers and providing an eagle’s eye summary to management? If this is your engineering profile and you are looking for a challenge, then we have one for you.
