ASIC Design Engineer; Onsite

ASIC Design Engineer

Define, design and take end to end Front-End ownership of ASIC subsystems to be deployed in a range of Cisco platforms. Contribute to a multi-disciplined engineering team to meet the power, performance, and area goals for products. Help define the process, methods, and tools for design and implementation of complex developments.

• Work on some of the most challenging problems in high-performance silicon for hyperscale infrastructure.
• Design and implement high-frequency, high-performance RTL in Verilog / System Verilog, meeting aggressive timing, power, and area targets.
• Lead design specifications and technical reviews, ensuring architectural clarity and high-quality implementation.
• Drive technical execution across architecture, design, verification, and physical implementation teams to deliver robust silicon.
• Collaborate closely with verification and physical design teams to close functional coverage, timing, and integration challenges.
• Mentor engineers and elevate engineering rigor, design quality, and technical execution across the team.
• Lead debug and root-cause analysis across simulation, system bring-up, and post-silicon validation.
• Creates re-usable code that promotes efficiencies in new ways
• Influence system architecture and key design decisions across complex ASIC subsystems.

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical or Computer Engineering and 7+ years of ASIC design experience, or Master's degree in Electrical or Computer Engineering and 4+ years of ASIC design experience.
• ASIC design experience, delivering silicon from microarchitecture, specification, and RTL coding through tape-out with multiple ASIC tape-outs at advanced technology nodes.
• Strong expertise in high-performance RTL design using Verilog/System Verilog.
• Deep understanding of timing closure, power optimization, and clock gating techniques.
• Experience with ASIC development flows including simulation, synthesis, and static timing analysis.
