About the Role

As a Director, ASIC Design you will lead the development of advanced ASIC solutions for next-generation data communication products. In this role, you will be responsible for driving chip development from concept to production, managing high-performing teams, and ensuring successful execution of complex ASIC projects. You will provide technical leadership, collaborate across functions, and deliver high-quality silicon that meets stringent performance and reliability standards.

You will work on all aspects of front-end ASIC design, including project definition, micro-architecture specification, and design and verification of complex logic blocks. Additionally, you will partner with PD, DFT, STA, and PV teams to ensure successful tape-outs and work closely with system teams for chip bring-up.

Responsibilities

• Lead chip development: Oversee design, verification, validation, and physical implementation of complex ASIC projects to ensure bug-free, high-quality silicon.
• Manage design & verification teams for large, high-speed ASICs.
• Project planning & execution: Develop and maintain project schedules, ensuring timely delivery.
• Provide technical leadership through all phases of ASIC development: architecture, micro-architecture, RTL design, verification, timing closure, and physical design.
• Collaborate with PD, DFT, STA, PV, and system teams for successful tape-outs and chip bring-up.

Basic Qualifications

• MS degree in Electrical Engineering or Computer Science with 15+ years of relevant experience in ASIC design.
• Deep understanding of digital logic design and complex synchronous/asynchronous interfaces.
• Proficiency in Verilog/SystemVerilog RTL design.
• Knowledge of synthesis and static timing analysis.
• Experience developing testbenches and test cases; familiarity with UVM.
• Hands-on experience with chip bring-up and validation.
• Proven track record of successful production tape-outs.
• Familiarity with DFT methodology and physical design flow.
• Hands-on experience with STA and timing closure.
• Strong planning, estimation, and communication skills.
• Ability to lead and mentor teams effectively.

Preferred Qualifications

• Expertise in scripting languages (Python, Tcl, Perl, Shell).
• Knowledge of EDA tools (Synopsys, Cadence, Mentor).
• Experience with high-speed interfaces or SerDes.

The base salary range for this position is $210,000 - $240,000 a year. The base salary ultimately offered is determined through a review of education, experience, training, skills, qualifications, and location. This position is also eligible for a discretionary bonus, equity and a full range of medical and other benefits.
